Low level and low magic.

For magical attacks made by characters:

 Damage = Spell Power * 4 + (Level * Magic Power * Spell Power / 32)

 

At level 99 less than 40 magic is needed for Ultima (150 spell power) to do guaranteed 9999 damage.

 

To hit Terra:

Step 4e. Chance to hit

 1. BlockValue = (255 - MBlock * 2) + 1

 2. If BlockValue > 255 then BlockValue = 255 If BlockValue < 1 then BlockValue = 1

 3. If ((Hit Rate * BlockValue) / 256) > [0..99] then you hit; otherwise you miss.

 

Max Mblock is 128%, so (for example) to have a lowly 10% chance of hitting Terra Shulk needs a ridiculous 2560%  hit rate. Not happening given his hit rate formula:

Character's Hit Rate (%) = Character's Agility - Enemy's Agility + 100% + Night Vision % (if applicable) + Serene Heart (if applicable. 50% or 75%; Dunban only) + Riki's 50% back attack hit rate bonus (if applicable)

 

Shulk has higer stats, so what? Raw stats aren't everything. He's dragged down by Xenoblade's formulas:

(Strength + Weapon Damage) x (Physical Art Multiplier) = damage of that physical art

Even if he gets a hit, to deal 9999 damage to Terra he needs a 500+% damage art he can use right at the start of the battle, and that's before applying defense. Just FYI enemies' defense stat in Xenoblade is zero.

 

Seriously, the only thing that can compete in a battle of broken stuff against a Square-Enix game is another Square-Enix game.

Not taking into account that he can already know how Terra will be evading.This gives Shulk 100% chance of hitting.

The base stats means that he will be faster, stronger, more durable, everything with at least 4 times the ability of Terra. (Terra maxes at 255, Shulk 999)
