History: The beginning of Chuckles' story starts with his procreation. Chuckles' parents are both Shuckles, as were their own parents, and so forth. Thus it is that Chuckles comes from a long and proud line of Shuckles- however, somewhere along the line, their blood was mixed with that of another Pokémon. Which Pokémon has long been forgotten- all that is known is that it has left its mark; Chuckles' family, as far back as they can remember, has had the ability to knock items right out of other Pokémon's hands. Using this ability, the Chuckles' family "ruled" over the small mountain (really a hill) that they lived upon. This was all just one massive state of hysteria of course, brought on by a "bully-like" mentality- his family had long ago convinced itself that they were the top dog Pokémon in the area.

Chuckles was always the odd-ball of his family; of his three other siblings, he was perhaps the only one that did not live up to his family name. Rather than running around and slapping the berries out of the other Pokémon, Chuckles seemed to befriend them instead. With his humorous and sociable nature, Chuckles got along well with the other Pokémon; he always seemed more adept at making them laugh, perhaps by juggling berries in the air with his feet, rather than "dominating" them. Both his parents and siblings did not take well to this- they would often disrupt Chuckles' performance by using the very skill they had been given- Knock Off. This would often cause the other Pokémon to flee from the scene, but Chuckles was persistent. Eventually deciding that Chuckles was not fit for their family, they officially disowned him.

So it was that Chuckles found himself homeless and without a family- and he was glad of it. Happy to be rid of such a delusional and annoying legacy, Chuckles promptly decided to travel down the mountain. Promising the friends he made that he would see them again, Chuckles set off. Leaving with a shell full of berries, given to him by his forest friends, Chuckles began his journey. He did not know yet where his journey would take him- only that he planned on enjoying himself as much as possible. Where there is Pokémon, there is fun to be had, he thought to himself then.

Traveling across the land, searching far and wide (for comedy gimmicks of course), Chuckles added more and more to his routine- balancing on spherical objects, though he does not own one of his own, and other circus tricks. He even has a small, red foam nose that he keeps in his shell- sometimes he wears it, the juices made in his shell serving as a mild adhesive. The red foam nose had been dropped by an unfortunate clown-pokémon trainer, who had promptly lost to a trainer on Route 2. In his rage, the clown had accidentally torn off his nose and tossed it into the bushes- where Chuckles had been watching. Chuckles hopes to add more to his clown collection- a large poofy wig, large toed shoes, and a polka dot shell cover. As he makes his way towards Alferast Village, Chuckles hopes that he will be able to fulfill his dream of becoming a circus Pokémon.

Personality: Chuckles is as his name suggests- he is always appreciative of a good joke, and is always happy to provide a laugh. His time on the mountain with only a select number of Pokémon has left him both naive and a little bit shameless- for what Pokémon with even a small amount of pride would resort to performing circus tricks? However, Chuckles enjoys his hobby more than anything, and is always hopeful that he will be able to make more friends by making them laugh. These traits, humorous, naive, and hopeful are all defining traits of Chuckles, and is how most anyone would describe him.

However, Chuckles does still know when a joke is most appropriate or not- funny things just aren't funny anymore if you're being bullied by other Shuckles. This was a hard lesson he learned from his time with his family; never appreciative of his good nature, his family tended to be even more mean spirited towards the "prodigal son". Though such a family might leave scars on other Shuckle, Chuckles has always kept his head up, knowing that somewhere else, in the bushes or a shallow cave, his friends were waiting for his next performance.

Finally, above all, Chuckles is persistent. Stemming from his hopeful nature, as well as his time as a "rebel" against his family, his indomitable will is nothing to joke about. He will neither give up, nor surrender, and can sometimes be quite courageous- sometimes to his disadvantage. Luckily, Chuckles has yet to meet a Pokémon so completely dull as to not appreciate a good joke or performance- therefore, Chuckles as managed to avoid getting into too many fights. Traveling on the road does come with its dangers though, and in such times, Chuckles is steadfast; explaining his meager battle experience.
