Accelgor (Japanese: アギルダー Agilder) is a Bug-type Pokémon.

It evolves from Shelmet when traded for a Karrablast, which evolves into Escavalier simultaneously. Neither evolves if at least one holds an Everstone during the trade.

Biology

Physiology

Accelgor has a large pink head reminiscent of a helmet, adorned with green stripes, a black star-like marking or hole on the front, and a swirled shape in the back, with its eyes in a shadowed crevice giving the appearance of an annoyed pout. The rest of its body consists of blue, segmented cloth-like tufts, with ribbon-like extensions at the top of its back. Its arms appeared to be crossed, as if in an aggressive mood.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Accelgor are very fast, due to losing their shell. They can attack using ways similar to ninjas. It has membrane which it can wrap itself in to prevent dehydration.

Behavior

It wraps itself in many layers of thin membrane to prevent dehydration.

Habitat

It appears to prefer moist habitats like bogs and swamps.

Trivia

• As the armor it sported as a Shelmet has been stolen by a Karrablast, Accelgor's Defense and Special Defense stats are lower than those of its pre-evolved form, but has a higher Speed.
  • Accelgor is the fastest Generation V Pokémon.

Origin

Accelgor appears to be based on an auto racer or a ninja, combined with a giant tube worm. 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).

Agilder may be a combination of agile and rider.
