Pokédex descriptions
Shield
Even though it is encased in a sturdy shell, the body inside is tender. It can’t withstand a harsh attack.
Sword
It is waiting for the moment to evolve. At this stage, it can only harden, so it remains motionless to avoid attack.
Lets Go Eevee
Hardens its shell to protect itself. However, a large impact may cause it to pop out of its shell.
