Hi there! Thank you so much for you patience while we discussed this important hypothetical scenario. At long last, we've arrived at a consensus. You ready for this?
Assuming ALL of the conditions mentioned in the link* are met (to loosely summarize, triple battle, sunny weather, Shuckle holding a Metronome, using Power Trick to swap Shuckle's attack and defense stats, Skill-Swapping the Shuckle's ability to 'Huge/Pure Power', Shuckle using Defense Curl, Mimic, AND Me First in order to use Ice Ball from one of its opponents, two Cherrim with the ability Flower Gift both using Helping Hand on the Shuckle, AND one of the opponents being a truly unfortunate level 1 Noibat who's had Forest's Curse used on it and its defense lowered to the fullest extent via stat-lowering moves)...
A blinding light will briefly blot out everything, and when it clears, the Noibat will be gone. The other opposing Pokemon and their trainer will also be gone. In fact, everyone but you is gone.
Instead, there will be a curious, glowing, portal-like hole in reality.
Something will emerge from the portal.
It's a Shuckle.
The Shuckle will slowly approach. You will be unable to move, as though rooted to the spot. It's kind of terrifying, but also the BGM has changed to vaguely ethereal tinkling music, so it's also kind of majestic.
When the Shuckle is right in front of you, it will begin to glow.
It's not a Shuckle after all!
IT'S ARCEUS.
Or is it a Shuckle?
Is Arceus a Shuckle?
This is so much.
Shuckleus looks you dead in the eye and says, in plain English:
"No one will ever believe you."
And then you'll white out, awakening later in a Pokemon Center surrounded by your concerned Pokemon and a Nurse Joy who tells you that you've been unconscious for nearly a day, but that someone did stop by to leave a gift for you when you woke up.
On the bedside table is:
1 Berry Juice
1 "Get Well Soon" card
1 membership application to join the Legend Seekers (who may in fact actually believe you)
*minus the Conversion to Ice, after looking into it we discovered the Quora person may have been wrong, since Shuckle can't learn Conversion.
