Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| Ruby | Inside SHELGON’s armor-like shell, cells are in the midst of transformation to create an entirely new body. This POKéMON’s shell is extremely heavy, making its movements sluggish. |
| Sapphire | Covering SHELGON’s body are outgrowths much like bones. The shell is very hard and bounces off enemy attacks. When awaiting evolution, this POKéMON hides away in a cavern. |
| Emerald | It hardly eats while it awaits evolution. It becomes hardier by enduring hunger. Its shell peels off the instant it begins to evolve. |
| X | Within its rugged shell, its cells have begun changing. The shell peels off the instant it evolves. |
| Y | Its armored body makes all attacks bounce off. The armor is too tough, however, making it heavy and somewhat sluggish. |
| OmegaRuby | Inside Shelgon’s armor-like shell, cells are in the midst of transformation to create an entirely new body. This Pokémon’s shell is extremely heavy, making its movements sluggish. |
| AlphaSapphire | Covering Shelgon’s body are outgrowths much like bones. The shell is very hard and bounces off enemy attacks. When awaiting evolution, this Pokémon hides away in a cavern. |
| Sun | The cells within its shell transform with explosive speed, preparing it for evolution. |
| Moon | They lurk deep within caves—motionless, neither eating nor drinking. Why they don’t die is not known. |
| UltraSun | The cells within its body are changing at a bewildering pace. Its hard shell is made from the same substance as bone. |
| UltraMoon | Shelgon lives deep within caves. It stays shut up in its hard shell, dreaming of the day it will be able to fly. |
| Sword | This Pokémon has covered its body in a hard shell that has the same composition as bone. Shelgon stores energy for evolution. |
| Shield | Shelgon ignores its hunger entirely, never eating any food. Apparently, Shelgon will evolve once all its energy stores are used up. |
| Scarlet | The cells within its shell transform with explosive speed, preparing it for evolution. |
| Violet | Its armored body makes all attacks bounce off. The armor is too tough, however, making it heavy and somewhat sluggish. |
