物語The Story
What the Pokédex says
- Shield
Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can’t withstand a harsh attack.
- Sword
It is waiting for the moment to evolve. At this stage, it can only harden, so it remains motionless to avoid attack.
- Let’s Go, Eevee!
Hardens its shell to protect itself. However, a large impact may cause it to pop out of its shell.
- Ultra Moon
Its hard shell doesn’t crack a bit even if Pikipek pecks at it, but it will tip over, spilling out its insides.
10 more entries from older games
- Ultra Sun
Its shell is filled with a thick liquid. All of the cells throughout its body are being rebuilt in preparation for evolution.
- Moon
Its shell is hard, but it’s still just a bug shell. It’s been known to break, so intense battles with it should be avoided.
- Sun
Its shell is filled with its soft innards. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.
- Alpha Sapphire
The shell covering this Pokémon’s body is as hard as an iron slab. Metapod does not move very much. It stays still because it is preparing its soft innards for evolution inside the hard shell.
- Y
This Pokémon is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.
- X
A steel-hard shell protects its tender body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution.
- SoulSilver
It prepares for evolution by hardening its shell as much as possible to protect its soft body.
- HeartGold
Inside the shell, it is soft and weak as it prepares to evolve. It stays motionless in the shell.
- Emerald
Its shell is as hard as an iron slab. A METAPOD does not move very much because it is preparing its soft innards for evolution inside the shell.
- Crystal
This is its pre- evolved form. At this stage, it can only harden, so it remains motionless to avoid attack.
