Question

Why won't the breakable rocks in Emerald's Safari Zone yield a Shuckle when I break them?

Answer 1

Are you in the North East section of the safari zone? There are rocks elsewhere but those only yield Geodude.

Otherwise you're just being unlucky. If you're sure you're in the right area you should be getting shuckles, as they're not very rare.

I'm in the North Extension (yes, in the East), where Shuckle is supposed to be. There are 5 rocks and I have smashed them all on two tries. Nothing. Makes no sense...

In that case it's just bad luck I'm afraid.

Or my Emerald game has a glitch - I doubt it has anything to do with the internal battery running dry.
