#48 Shelgon - Arceus (pl4)

Shelgon is a Colorless-type Pokémon with 80 HP. It features two attacks: "Scrunch" and "Dragon Bump." The "Scrunch" attack costs one Colorless energy, allowing the player to flip a coin. If heads, it prevents all damage to Shelgon during the opponent's next turn. The "Dragon Bump" attack requires three Colorless energies and deals 40 damage plus 20 more if Shelgon has basic Fire and Water Energy attached. Shelgon has a retreat cost of one Colorless energy and is weak to Colorless attacks, taking 20 extra damage. Its flavor text describes a transformation where its shell peels off upon evolving. Shelgon is part of the Platinum series, released in the Arceus set on November 4, 2009. The card is classified as Uncommon rarity and was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida.
