---|---|
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. |
FireRed LeafGreen | Its armored body makes all attacks bounce off. The armor is too tough, however, making it heavy and somewhat sluggish. |
Emerald | It hardly eats while it awaits evolution. It becomes hardier by enduring hunger. Its shell peels off the instant it begins to evolve. |
Diamond Pearl Platinum | Within its rugged shell, its cells have begun changing. The shell peels off the instant it evolves. |
HeartGold SoulSilver | It surrounds its body in an iron-hard shell to accumulate enough power to evolve. |

Moon | They lurk deep within caves—motionless, neither eating nor drinking. Why they don’t die is not known. |
Ultra Sun | The cells within its body are changing at a bewildering pace. Its hard shell is made from the same substance as bone. |
Ultra Moon | Shelgon lives deep within caves. It stays shut up in its hard shell, dreaming of the day it will be able to fly. |
