Shell-Armor

Summary

Shell Armor is an ability in the Pokémon series that provides the Pokémon with immunity to critical hits. This means that attacks against Pokémon with Shell Armor will always deal regular damage, with no chance of the damage being multiplied by a critical hit. This ability can be incredibly useful for defensive Pokémon looking to negate the variance in damage that critical hits can cause, helping maintain their defensive stability.

Effects: - Shell Armor prevents any move from delivering a critical hit against the Pokémon that possesses this ability. Critical hits, which normally do more damage than regular moves, are completely negated. - This ability is particularly crucial in battles where ensuring damage consistency is important, aiding in more predictable and manageable damage intake.

Interesting Facts: - Shell Armor has been present in the Pokémon series since Generation III. - Several species that can have Shell Armor are associated with hard shells or tough exteriors, such as Cloyster, Carracosta, and Turtonator, embodying the protective nature of this ability
