Physical Sweeper Shelgon (Rock Head)
When it comes to single battles, Shelgon shines as an interesting Physical Sweeper. It tries to take down the opponent's team with brute physical moves. Remember before Generation IV, a move's damage category was determined by its type. Choice Band will increase the damage of Shelgon's physical moves by 1.5x at the cost of locking you into the first move you pick. The Shell Bell item option is to help Shelgon recover from the recoil damage it may take from Double-Edge. With Rock Head, Shelgon does not take recoil damage besides struggle and crash damage.
◆ Double-Edge is a physical 120-base power Normal-type move (has 1/3 recoil). ◆ Return is a physical 0-base power Normal-type move (max 102 power at maximum happiness). ◆ Brick Break is a physical 75-base power Fighting-type move (destroys screens, even if the target is immune). ◆ Rock Smash is a physical 20-base power Fighting-type move (50% chance to lower the target's defense by 1 stage). ◆ Rock Slide is a physical 75-base power Rock-type move (30% chance to make the foes flinch). ◆ Rollout is a physical 30-base power Rock-type move (power doubles with each hit. Repeats for 5 turns). ◆ Mud-Slap is a physical 20-base power Ground-type move (100% chance to lower the target's accuracy by 1 stage).
