Trivia
- Shelmet and Karrablast only evolve when traded for each other. They are the first and currently only 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 had replaced it as Karrablast's rival.
Origin
Shelmet is based on a nautilus or snail. Its long proboscis may make it based on a geoduck. Its shell also resemble a knight's helmet with its visor open.
Etymology
Shelmet comes from shell and helmet.
