Accelgor (Pokémon)
Revision as of 06:26, 11 September 2020 by Force Fire(talk | contribs)(I don't think it was ever in doubt)
Accelgor has a large pink head reminiscent of a helmet that is curled in the back. Green stripes run from its eyes to the top of its head, and there is a black star-like marking or hole on the front. Its eyes are hidden in a shadowed crevice in its head. The rest of its body is covered by a blue, cloth-like membrane, which keeps Accelgor from dehydrating, with ribbon-like extensions at the top of its back. Its arms, when crossed, portray an aggressive mood.
It is a very fast Pokémon; it can attack using ways similar to ninjas, including with its current signature moveWater Shuriken. It lives in moist habitats like bogs and swamps. Accelgor is often featured as a main character in movies or comics to increase the popularity of these products. Accelgor's pouting expression and crossed arms are due to it being miserable over having lost its shell.[1]
Accelgor, the Shell Out Pokémon and the evolved form of Shelmet. Accelgor is much more agile once it evolves and loses its shell, allowing it to move like a ninja when battling.

Accelgor appears to be based on an autoracer or a ninja, combined with a slug or snail. Its cloth-like "clothing" and Bug type suggest it may also be based on the bagworm pupa.
Name origin
Accelgor may be a combination of accelerate and escargot (French for snail).
