Black | When attacked, it defends itself by closing the lid of its shell. It can spit a sticky, poisonous liquid. |
White | It evolves when bathed in an electric-like energy along with Karrablast. The reason is still unknown. |
Black2 | When it and Karrablast are together, and both receive electrical stimulation, they both evolve. |
White2 | When it and Karrablast are together, and both receive electrical stimulation, they both evolve. |
X | When it and Karrablast are together, and both receive electrical stimulation, they both evolve. |
Y | It evolves when bathed in an electric-like energy along with Karrablast. The reason is still unknown. |
Sword | When attacked, it tightly shuts the lid of its shell. This reaction fails to protect it from Karrablast, however, because they can still get into the shell. |
Shield | It has a strange physiology that responds to electricity. When together with Karrablast, Shelmet evolves for some reason. |
