Pokédex entries

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.
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.
Black White Black 2 White 2	Within its rugged shell, its cells have begun changing. The shell peels off the instant it evolves.
X	Within its rugged shell, its cells have begun changing. The shell peels off the instant it evolves.

Omega 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.
Alpha 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.
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.
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.
