SHUCKLE

Welcome to Shuckle Valley Farms!

And we welcome you most heartily! Shuckle Valley Farms is a community owned business that prides itself on wholesome and tasty products for your entire family. Visitors are welcome any time of the year, but don't miss out on our famous Berry Festival that occurs the last week of July!

About Our Farms

Shuckle Valley is ideally located in the Veldt region to produce an abundance of berries all year round. Rain-loving berries thrive in our winters, which are more wet than cold, while dry berries adore our summers with the friendly heat. Our rich soils feed the plants so that the berries are packed with nutrients and vitamins, perfect for any lifestyle.

About Our Pokemon

Our namesake Pokemon are allowed to wander freely throughout the valley. The Shuckles see this place as a berry paradise. They pluck berries from the lowest branches of the bushes and tuck them away in the secondary hole on top of their vase-like shell. Once they are content, they go back to their shelter to eat some of the berries. The leftovers are then turned into a liquid that we gently juice from them once a month.

Please note that all of our Shuckles are branded for easy identification and protected by stronger Nidorans in various stages. If you wish to gain a Shuckle of your own, please speak with the town breeder.

About Our Families

Shuckle Valley Farms takes great pride in the hard-working men and women of our community. We spend many long hours ensuring the quality and safety of our produce. Berry Masters take care of the berry plants while farmers take care of the various other produce that we grow. Certified Pokemon Trainers keep wild bug Pokemon and other pests from destroying or contaminating our crops while brewers and cooks develop the raw plants into tasty treats. And the children of our community often take their school lessons in the fields as well as the classroom.

About Our Products

Because our Shuckles live a low-stress life, their juice is of the highest quality. We maintain that same level of quality in all of our products. Here is a sampling of what we make (type often depends upon the season).

Shuckle Berry Juice: A favorite of children and Pokemon! The unique mixture of berries in each batch makes for a fun surprise from every bottle which cannot be imitated. Our experts identify the main tastes as Sweet, Sour, Spicy, Savory, or Mild. Pasteurized.

Shuckle Wine: For adults only. Our wines are full-bodied and sophisticated, winning dozens of awards in many regions. Perfect for your special dinner or romantic date.

Shuckle Vinegar: An excellent cooking vinegar that imparts wonderful flavors to your sauces, marinades, and other fine foods. Drizzle over a healthy salad for a wonderful sensation of flavors. Varying strengths and flavors, which are clearly labeled on each bottle.

Fresh berries: What sorts of berries? All sorts! We have Nanab, Razz, Bluk, Leppa, Pinap, Oran, Chesto, etc. Common berries grow in the Community Park where, for a small fee, you can pick as many berries as you can fit in a basket! Rarer berries, such as Pamtre or Iapapa, are available at the Berry Market located in the heart of our cozy village. Some berries only grow in certain seasons; you can check the availability of all berries on the community bulletin board in the Berry Market.

Pokeblocks: Get these sweet little cubes from the Berry Market or mix your own at the Berry Blender Café. Pokemon love these treats; rumor has it that these candies can sweeten your chances on the contest stage!

Community Notice To Pokemon Trainers

We ask that you refrain from battling or harassing our hard-working Shuckles. These creatures are very shy and scare easily. Please keep your Pokemon stored while in Shuckle Valley Farms. If this is impractical, please keep a close eye on your Pokemon. What you may think of as a strangely smooth rock or an odd vase may in fact be a hiding Shuckle. Do not bother them; stiff fines are imposed on those who harm a branded Shuckle.

-SVF pamphlet, Summer '08 edition

Ruby/Sapphire entry: Shuckle quietly hides itself under rocks, keeping its body concealed inside its hard shell while eating berries it has stored away. The berries mix with its body fluids to become a juice.

Why are there Savory and Mild flavored juices? Think about it: would you buy a Bitter or Dry juice?
