Some of you may have already known this, but I had no idea.
Karrablast is a generic beetle Pokemon to which no one would really put much thought into.
You trade him with Shelmet, and both the Pokemon evolve but I learned something new today.
Shelmet is based on a snail.
Karrablast is based on a Scaphinotus (Snail-Eating Beetle).
The snail eating beetle will hunt down a snail, eat out the snail and sometimes keep the shell for protection.
What happens here is that the Karrablast actually steals the Shelmet's shell during the trade, thus gaining armor and becoming Escavalier.
While the Shelmet loses armor (and weight) gaining speed and needing to wrap itself in bandages becoming Accelgor.
