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.
