Share


Shelmet (Japanese: チョボマキ Chobomaki) is a Bug-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Shelmet is a snail-like pink and green shelled Pokémon. It has a long pink proboscis sticking out that looks very much like lips, and it has large eyes with small black pupils. Its grayish shell serves as it's armor, which resembles a knight's helmet.

Evolution

Shelmet evolves into Accelgor when traded with Karrablast.

Pokédex Entries

  • 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.

  • Black 2

    When it and Karrablast are together, and both receive electrical stimulation, they both evolve.

  • White 2

    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

  • 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.

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.

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".
