Shelmet

Shelmet is No. 0616 in the National Pokédex and is listed here as a Bug-type Snail Pokémon. 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. This page brings together its key game data, including typing, abilities, base stats, evolution details, forms, Pokédex entries and moves, so it can be used as a quick reference before building out a deeper guide.

Shelmet first belongs to Generation V. Shelmet does not have a longer evolution chain recorded in the current local data. Its strongest listed base stat is Defense, which helps show where it naturally fits when comparing Pokémon by role. Its abilities can include Hydration, Shell Armor and Overcoat, giving players useful options when comparing forms, movesets and team roles. The sections below are generated from the local Pokémon database and can be expanded later with matchup advice, best games to use it in, notable appearances and more detailed strategy notes.
