Shuckle is available in Pokémon Gold and Silver versions. One way to get a Shuckle is to go to Cianwood City, where a trainer will give one to you if you take care of it because your rival steals the rest of his Pokémon. If you give this particular Shuckle a Berry to hold, the Berry will eventually become Berry Juice. You can find wild Shuckle by using Rock Smash on breakable rocks found in Cianwood City, the Ice Path, and on Route 40 during the daytime or morning hours.
