⇨ Japanese
A hermit crab-like Digimon that lives in the shallower seabeds of the "Net Ocean". Although it has a turtle-like appearance when settled inside its shell, it actually has a soft body like that of a mollusk. Because its body rapidly gets bigger as it grows, it switches homes each time until it reaches the size of a small mountain. Not only that, it has a habit of settling into anything it is able to fit its body into. Since it has low intelligence and a belligerent personality, one must take caution when coming across a Shellmon. Its Special Move is shooting liquid at high pressure (Hydro Pressure).

Anime[edit]

Digimon Adventure[edit]

A Shellmon attacks the Chosen Children at a beach in "Explosive Evolution! Greymon". Agumon is the only of their Digimon who is able to hurt Shellmon, as he had eaten before. After Shellmon grabs Taichi with the tentacles on his head, Agumon evolves to Greymon and defeats Shellmon by throwing him off and hitting him with the technique Mega Flame in midair.

The same Shellmon reappears in "The Raging King of the Seas! Metal Seadramon", this time being able to speak fluently. He attempts to take revenge on the Chosen Children. Shellmon places a lifebelt on the top of his shell and cries for help, pretending that someone is in danger. When the children and their partners reach the lifebelt, Shellmon attacks again, but doesn't stand a chance against the Digimon in their Child forms and therefore escapes.

They are eventually sent back to the Digital World.

Digimon World[edit]

Shellmon appears as an obtainable Adult-level Data type Digimon in Digimon World.

After you defeat Orgemon in the Ogre Fortress and use the elevator there, it'll cause a Shellmon who was wandering around to get stuck, and cries for help. The Player needs to use the elevator again to free him, and has to climb the Great Canyon, finding an alternate route without using the elevator and reaching to Shellmon. Shellmon will thank the player for freeing him and will join the Village of Beginnings where it'll put a Bulletin Board in the city, which is useful to see where to go next and when to recruit new Digimon, similar to how Angemon, Yuramon and Tunomon function like.

Both Betamon and Penmon can evolve into Shellmon, in order to evolve into Shellmon, your Digimon must meet the following criteria:

  • At least 1000 HP and 100 Defense stat requirements
  • More than 5 Care Mistakes
  • A Weight between 35 to 45g
  • Bonus conditions: Have Betamon as a Partner and have at least 35 different techniques mastered.

Shellmon's evolution item is the Red Shell which lets any Child Digimon evolve into Shellmon.

Shellmon has 5 possible evolutions depending on the stats and Care Mistakes made:

  • Herakle Kabuterimon
  • Mega Seadramon
  • Coelamon (A Shellmon can Slide Evolve into Coelamon if it reaches 15 days old. This has a 30% chance of happening.)
  • Scumon (When its Poop Gauge is full).
  • Vademon (When you scold it when its age reaches 15 days old, though this has a 50% chance of happening).

Finishing Technique-Hydro Pressure:

Shellmon pumps a column of water out of its head and lands on the enemy, struck by the water's strong pressure.

Digimon Adventure[edit]

Shellmon is the second obligatory boss of the game, fighting the Chosen Children at the end of Episode 2, "Explosive Evolution! Greymon". For the battle, as in the anime, Agumon will evolve for the first time into Greymon for no SP cost and remain in the form for the battle. Shellmon can deal multiple hits to one party Digimon with Hydro Pressure and increase its defense with Shell Guard.

Seadramon and Shellmon serve as the final bosses of the optional Digital Dungeon α, where they fight the Chosen Children together. Defeating them grants the player one Meat.

Shellmon appears as a random enemy from Episode 12, "Clash! The Freezing Digimon" onwards.

A stronger Shellmon, known as Shellmon ★, serves as the second fight for the Chosen Children in the Colosseum's DigiOne Grand Prix in Sub-Episode 10, "DigiOne Grand Prix", alongside a Drimogemon and a Monochromon ★. It can use the same attacks as the previous Shellmon.

Shellmon reappeared in front of the Chosen Children after they returned to the Beach Area, now part of Spiral Mountain, in Episode 50, "Nostalgic Beach". Yagami Taichi realized it was the same Shellmon they fought at the beginning of their adventure, and Agumon, Gabumon and Piyomon went to fight them again, not caring about their tiredness, with their combined special moves defeating Shellmon despite the level difference, which the Chosen Children took as proof of them getting stronger.

Shellmon ★ appears as a random enemy from Episode 51, "The Raging King of the Seas! Metal Seadramon" onwards.

Digimon World Re:Digitize Decode[edit]

Shellmon in the Submerged Ruins lost its giant seashell house after being nearly sucked into a vortex and now lived inside a cave. It asked Taiga to get it, saying it must be at the bottom of the sea somewhere. After Taiga fishes out its shell from the nearest fishing spot and gives it to Shellmon, Shellmon moves back into it and thanks Taiga with a Cozy Lifestyle Guide.

Shellmon is an unobtainable Digimon.
