Shackle

Shackle is a unique ability in the Pokémon series that greatly influences battle dynamics. This ability specifically targets the speed and evasiveness of opponents, ensuring that battles are more strategic and less reliant on quick maneuvers or dodging capabilities.

Effects:

• Speed Reduction: When a Pokémon with Shackle is on the battlefield, the speed of all opposing Pokémon is significantly reduced. This drop in speed can turn the tide of battle, allowing slower Pokémon or those with powerful but slower moves to act first.

Competitive Strategy:

• Combat Strategy: In competitive gameplay, Shackle is a powerful tool for teams that revolve around setting up slower, more robust Pokémon to land heavy hits without fear of being outspeed and
