Shelgon (コモルー Komoru in Japanese, Draschel in German and Drackhaus in French) is a fictional character from the Pokémon world. It is #372 in the National Pokédex. Shelgon is known as the Endurance Pokémon for one reason: it sits inside its shell dreaming of growing wings and becoming a beautiful dragon.

Its name is a combination of "shell" and "dragon".

Biology

Within Shelgon's body, its cells are continually changing to prepare for evolution into Salamence. Even though this Pokémon's shell is heavy, it makes up for it by drawing in its stubby legs and rolling around. This shell is very thick and strong, similar to bones. The shell protects disruption of its internal cell development. When it is finally ready for evolution, its shell sheds almost instantly.

While in this stage of its evolution, Shelgon fasts in order to grow hardier from hunger. It grows tired easily due to its lack of food and its heavy shell weighing it down.

In the video games

Shelgon can only be obtained by evolving Bagon.

Thanks to its thick shell, Shelgon has great HP, even greater than that of its evolution Salamence. However, Salamence has much more Defense. Shelgon also has the Rock Head ability, allowing it to use the powerful Double Edge attack without damaging itself. Shelgon also has high Speed points, but not as high as Salamence.

In the anime

In episode 319: "Let Bagons be Bagons" with Bagon in Season # 7, A trainer wanted her Bagon to evolve into a Shelgon because it fantascised about flying and kept jumping off cliffs and getting hurt by doing it. At the end of that episode, Bagon evolves into Shelgon. In the episode of Pokemon Advanced Battle: "Vanity Affair" Drake from the Elite Four battles Ash's Pikachu with his Shelgon. Drake's Shelgon wins.
