(Japanese: イワパレス Iwaparesu) is a dual-type Bug/Rock Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Ishizumai starting at level 34.

Biology

Physiology

This creature resembles an insect or crustacean. It is mainly orange in color. Its most distinguishing feature is its enormous shell, which resembles a cut-away block of sediment with multiple layers and strata visible. The tips of its pincers and six feet are dark gray. It has two glaring yellow eyes. Its Dream World art shows dark red body segments, instead of orange.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

It is very strong, so it can carry heavy rocks for a long time.

Behavior

Iwaparesu fight each other over territory. These battles can become very vicious. If an Iwaparesu's shell breaks during such a fight, it loses.

Habitat

It lives in arid lands.

Trivia

• As of Generation V, no other Pokémon have same dual egg group as Iwaparesu and its pre-evolution. In this case, Bug and Mineral, are unique.
• Like several other Pokémon, Iwaparesu learns only Physical and Status moves by level up.
• This Pokemon can learn Shell Smash at both Level 1 and Level 43. This is unusual because usually the moves learned at Level 1 are either not learned at another level or learned at a level near 1. In this case, Shell Smash replaces Ishizumai's Fury Cutter.

Origin

Iwaparesu is based on a hermit crab. Its shell resembles a block of stratum than an actual shell, though the design also seems to resemble ornately-colored hermit crab shells.

Name origin

Iwaparesu may come from 岩　Iwa, rock and パレス　paresu, palace or maybe プレス, press.
