Accelgor (Japanese: アギルダー Agirudaa) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Accelgor has a large pink head with two green stripes and a hole which closely resembles a star. Its eyes are in some sort of crevice which is also shadowed and black. The body is blue with segments and it has wavy extensions to its arms that are connected to the shoulders. Most of the time the arms are crossed. After coming out of its shell Accelgor is light and quick moving with the speed of a ninja.

Behavior

This Pokémon prefers cool and damp habitats such as bogs and swamps.These Pokémon need to keep moist to prevent their skin from drying out. To facilitate this, Accelgor wrap their bodies in mucus-soaked membranes that help them stay moisturized. A thirsty Accelgor will be weak, clumsy, and even more fragile than usual.They use a combination of both of these abilities in order to hunt effectively in the wild. Accelgor are especially popular characters in media aimed at young boys.

Evolution

Accelgor evolves from Shelmet when traded with Karrablast.
