Pokédex Description

Generation 1
Red, Blue

This POKéMON is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.

Yellow

Hardens its shell to protect itself. However, a large impact may cause it to pop out of its shell.

Generation 2
Gold

Inside the shell, it is soft and weak as it prepares to evolve. It stays motionless in the 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.

Generation 3
Ruby, Sapphire

The shell covering this POKéMON’s body is as hard as an iron slab. METAPOD does not move very much. It stays still because it is preparing its soft innards for evolution inside the hard shell.

Emerald

Its shell is as hard as an iron slab. A METAPOD does not move very much because it is preparing its soft innards for evolution inside the shell.

FireRed

Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can’t withstand a harsh attack.

LeafGreen

This POKéMON is vulnerable to attack while its shell is soft, exposing its weak and tender body.

Generation 4
Diamond, Pearl, Platinum

Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire

The shell covering this Pokémon’s body is as hard as an iron slab. Metapod does not move very much. It stays still because it is preparing its soft innards for evolution inside the hard shell.

Generation 7
Sun

Its shell is filled with its soft innards. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.

Moon

Its shell is hard, but it’s still just a bug shell. It’s been known to break, so intense battles with it should be avoided.

Ultra Sun

Its shell is filled with a thick liquid. All of the cells throughout its body are being rebuilt in preparation for evolution.

Ultra Moon

Its hard shell doesn’t crack a bit even if Pikipek pecks at it, but it will tip over, spilling out its insides.
