Head-to-Head Analysis
With nearly identical Base Stat Totals (305 and 266), this is a truly balanced and fiercely competitive matchup. Their speed tiers are incredibly close (40 vs 40), meaning the outcome often hinges on specific movesets rather than raw stats. However, Nincada's rock-solid defense (90) will make it incredibly difficult for Shellder's physical strikes to leave a mark.
