Pokedex Entries
Red Blue This POKEMON is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.
Yellow Hardens it's shell to protect itself. However, a large impact may cause it to pop out of it's shell.
Stadium When it hardens, only the external shell is transformed. The inside remains tender.
Gold Stadium 2 Inside the shell, it is soft and weak as it prepares to evolve. It stays motionless in its shell.
Silver It prepares for evolution by hardening its shell as much as possible to protect its soft body.
Crystal This is its pre-evolved form. At this stage, it can only harden, so it remains motionless to avoid attack.
