Shelgon (Japanese: コモルー Komoruu) is a Dragon-type Pokémon.
It evolves from Bagon starting at level 30 and evolves into Salamence starting at level 50.
Biology
Shelgon is a quadruped Pokémon that resembles a pupal stage. There bone structures covering its body, which form a shell with two openings and three ridges on top. One opening is in front, revealing two yellow eyes, while the other opening is in the back. This bony covering repels enemy attacks, but it makes Shelgon heavy. As a result, this Pokémon moves sluggishly and hardly eats. Inside the shell, its body is busy forming for its next evolution. The moment this Pokémon evolves, its shell peels away. Its grey legs are visible protruding from underneath the shell, each with a short red stripe on the inner surface. It can be found in caverns.
In the anime
Major appearances
Shelgon was first seen when a Bagon evolved in Let Bagons Be Bagons.
Drake used a Shelgon in Vanity Affair. It defeated Pikachu.
Minor appearances
A Shelgon competed in the Hoenn Grand Festival in Hi Ho Silver Wind! and Deceit and Assist.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
