History FanonPokedex / Shellos

Once Shellos evolves into Gastrodon, it gains a Ground typing. Just like Shellos, Gastrodon look very different depending on which region they are from. Studies of Gastrodon tissue samples indicate that at one point the species had a rather thick shell, but lost it over time for unknown reasons. To defend themselves from predators such as Gyarados, Sharpedo, and Octillery, Gastrodon can release a foul smelling and tasting purple liquid comparable to a greasy sweat to escape. If that doesn't work, they can use moves such as Muddy Water, Mud Bomb, and Water Pulse to fight off an opponent. Trained Gastrodon are also capable of learning moves such as Earthquake, Surf, and Ice Beam.

Shellos and Gastrodon are herbivorous, living mainly off of seaweed and other algae, which they remove off rocks with their radulas. They will also accept lettuce and other leafy greens from their Trainers.

The Shellos line is very docile, preferring to run away (technically more like contract away with its foot) from danger, but are capable of defending themselves if threatened by a predator or human. Both Shellos and Gastrodon can learn Water and Ground type moves, and Gastrodon's Body Slam is capable of breaking a human's spine. Luckily, you'd have to be really antagonistic for them to attack you. Most of the time they'll either run away, ignore you entirely, or start crawling on you. [[Trainer's Note: Due to Sticky Hold, it is very hard to remove a member of the Shellos line from your person if they are unwilling to get off. Trying to remove them can lead to skin being ripped off, so it's best to either use a Pokeball if it's yours, or wait for it to crawl off you.]]

Mating is done mainly by Gastrodon, though Shellos can do it in captivity. Gastrodon mate through mating cries that attract members of the opposite gender. After mating, the female places 10 Shellos eggs on the male's back before leaving. The male then cares for the eggs by staying submerged for the duration of the incubation period and not eating at all. Once the Shellos hatch, the father cares for them for about a month before they leave their parent and form small groups.

Shellos can be found in small groups of about 3-5 individuals. Gastrodon are either solitary or groups of two.

Due to their lack of a shell, Shellos can dehydrate very quickly, making them hard to use them in desert regions such as Orre. Due to their Ground typing, Gastrodon can last longer, but having them fight when it's very hot is still not recommended.
