PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
- Dragon Attacker:
Dragon Breath
Dragon Pulse
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. 🐲
🛡️ Gyms
Being stuck inside a shell isn’t going to save Shelgon from the onslaught of strong Gym attackers. 😁

🔵 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. 😳
