"Shelmet and Karrablast, the story"

#PokemonGO: I was looking at the evolution sheet for the recent Gen 5 roll-outs, lamenting when and how I will finish my dex. Then it hit me: why does Karrablast (blue dude) evolve into a Escavalier when it makes more sense that Shelmet (pink dude in helmet) would evolve into Escavalier since they both have armors? I only played up to crystal version and this was bothering me.As it turns out, the story is that when you trade Karrablast for Shelmet, Karrablast steals Shelmet's armor and evolves into Escavalier. It loses a lot of speed when it evolves. Shelmet, having lost its armor, evolves into Accelgor, becoming a total ninja as one of the fastest Pokemons in existence.So that's the significance of the trade bonus we see in pokemon go based on the lore. via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2TfMjQG
