Trivia

• Shelmet and Karrablast only evolve when both traders trade that Pokémon. They are the first Pokémon to do this.
• Despite having the metal "shell", it is not Steel-type.
• It is shown, when traded with a Karrablast, it takes Shelmet's helmet, deshelling it and causing it to evolve into Accelgor, the Shell-Out Pokémon. Karrablast then evolves into Escavalier and wears Shelmet's armor.
• During Generation V's development, a family of snails were planned to be Karrablast's rival instead of Shelmet. But after having some discussions and believing that Shelmet would provide a good armor for Karrablast, this original snail based Pokemon had no longer been considered by developers and Shelmet has replaced it as Karrablast's rival.

Origin

Shelmet is based on a nautilus. Its shell also resembles a knight's helmet, with the visor open.

Etymology

Shelmet's name appears to be a portmanteau of "shell" and "helmet".
