Pokédex entry
Each version has its own entry.
“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.”
“It has a strange physiology that responds to electricity. When together with Karrablast, Shelmet evolves for some reason.”
