No joke, one of my favorite regionals. I love the concept of the Shellder taking charge and "stealing" the intelligence that usually goes into Slowking during the evolution. Details like the longer cloak resembling a supervillain cape, the branching appendages resembling horns, and the eyes move frontward to signify it's the one in control all really help make this feel like it's own thing.
The only thing I dislike about it is the fact that it's Psychic/Poison instead of Psychic/Dark or Psychic/Ghost (as a Phantom of the Opera reference), though being entirely honest those are outright shit typings defensively-which is a death sentence for slow bulky mons-so I can't be too upset
