Accelgor (Japanese :アギルダー Agilder ) is aBug-type Pokémon introduced inGeneration V .
Itevolves fromShelmet whentraded for aKarrablast , a Pokémon that evolves intoEscavalier simultaneously.
Biology Accelgor is aPokémon which has a large pink head reminiscent of ahelmet 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 and attacks in ways similar to ninjas. InGeneration VIII ,Water Shuriken was itssignature move . 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]
