Welcome back, Trainers! It's time to see how Shelmet and Accelgor will likely perform in Pokémon GO.

SHELMET

  • CATEGORY: Snail Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: SHELL-mett
  • TYPE: Bug
  • HEIGHT: 1' 04"
  • WEIGHT: 17.0 lbs.

ATTACK:  72

DEFENSE:  140

STAMINA:  137

MAX  CP:  834

ACCELGOR

  • CATEGORY: Shell Out Pokémon
  • PRONOUNCED: ak-SELL-gohr
  • TYPE: Bug
  • HEIGHT: 2' 07"
  • WEIGHT: 55.8 lbs.

ATTACK:  220

DEFENSE:  120

STAMINA:  190

MAX  CP:  2441
PLACE IN THE META: Accelgor won't be useful in Pokémon GO. Its a glass cannon with an Attack stat that is lower than the best Bug-types we already have, not to mention Volcarona.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Accelgor:
  • Infestation
  • Struggle Bug
​
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Accelgor:
  • Bug Buzz
  • ​Energy Ball
  • Sludge Bomb

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Accelgor's movepool:
  • Final Gambit
  • Pursuit
  • U-turn
  • ​Water Shuriken

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 5, Accelgor gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution that is known of at this time.
Thanks for reading, Trainers! Stunfisk is up next.
