Trivia

  • Shell Smash is the only status move that will always affect more than three stats simultaneously. The only other moves capable of doing so are Ancient Power and its variations, but it will not always happen in these cases.
  • Shell Smash causes the greatest overall base stat changes of any move from no changes at all, with 8.
    • However, Belly Drum surpasses this if the user has a -3 stat change in Attack, resulting in a +9 net stat change, and capping at +12 if executed from -6.
  • All Pokémon that are able to learn Shell Smash by leveling up have Defense as their highest base stat (or tied for their highest base stat).
  • Shell Smash is similar to Weak Armor, as both of them lower the Defense stat, but at the same time boost the Speed stat.
