So it would end up with 920 DEF and SDEF after 3 uses of Cosmic Power on top of a very high 118 base hitpoint stat... Use Double Team 3 times, and he'll dodge all attacks 72% of the time. Use Power Trick and he'll have 100 DEF (still above average) and 920 ATTACK!

Though this wouldn't work. You can only boost your stats when they're still <1000. It could use cosmic power once, at best, if we're playing at level 100.

I'm sorry? I don't grasp what you mean. the max that my Mollesk was able to attain after 3 uses of Cosmic Power (which counts as the max of 6 uses due to Simple nature) was 920. It never went hit 1000 or higher. So everything is still "legit" even if quite very powerful. Mind you, it would have been better if he was able to max out his def/spdef with only one use of Cosmic Power, but that would be absurd. In a way, that's his own restriction.
In order to get that high in combat, he needs to spend 3 turns using Cosmic Power, a turn to use Power Trick if he plans on attacking using the boosted attack instead of the standard 100 Attack, and that's not counting an extra turn if he wants to use Trick Room, the 3 turns if he wants to use Double Team to boost evasion, and any turns that he uses Recover to regain health while he's being attacked. And all this before attacking.
So in essence, while he can get to be quite very powerful, it's almost the same as Regigigas's Slow Start ability if he wants to get as strong as possible (which is thematically appropriate given it's a Shuckle evolution which has never been a speed type unless Trick Room is used.)
EDIT: Nevermind, I realize what you mean now. Looking at Serebii, the "base stats" that everyone has been talking about in regards to their own pokemon is the average stats that the pokemons would typically recieve upon level 50 or so. Around level 100, assuming beneficial nature, Shuckles would have 614 DEF or SDEF, thus 1 use of Cosmic Power would hit 921. ^^
>_> You know, as mentioned in AB's post and thus in my PMs, Renny basically has a Rare Candy factory going on. One of the rewards could be passing out rare candies to boost pokemon power levels. :3 Assuming they have all recieved their EVs (Effort Values) from being trained before, they won't lose out for consuming them (Stuffing them with Rare Candies before training their Effort Values made for wasted stat growth).
