Accelgor (Japanese: アギルダー Agilder) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Shelmet when traded for a Karrablast. 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 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.

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.
  • It is the fastest Generation V Pokémon and second-fastest non-legendary Pokémon after Ninjask.

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 typing may mean it may also be based on the bagworm pupa.

Name origin

Its English name is a corruption of accelerate and possibly escargot, French for "snail".

Its Japanese name is likely derived from アギル agiru, agile and ライダー raidā, rider.

Its species name refers to the fact that accelgor loses its "shell" when it evolves from shelmet.

In other languages

Language Name Name origin German Hydragil From Hydration, which can be its Ability, and agil. French Limaspeed From limace and speed. Korean 어지리더 Eojirideo
