      Recommended moves

      The weird cocoon dragon Shelgon lacks the stats to fight it out in PvP. So, don’t disturb Shelgon… it’s undergoing a transformation into something glorious! 👀

      ⚔️ Raids

      Press ‘Evolve’ and experience the magic. 🐲

      Being stuck inside a shell isn’t going to save Shelgon from the onslaught of strong Gym attackers. 😁

      Recommended moves

      🔵 Great League

      Shelgon can last a while under shields, thanks to Dragon Breath, one of the best Fast Moves in PvP. However, that’s all there is to Shelgon, as its Charged Moves are very underwhelming. 😶

      🟡 Ultra League

      Shelgon lacks the firepower to make a mark in the Ultra League and is absolutely thrashed by the competition. Not worth running it here. 🥱

      🟣 Master League

      Shelgon enters the Master League. Shelgon starts screaming. You can’t see it because its mouth is hidden, but rest assured, it’s screaming in terror. 😳
