I don't watch the anime because I don't enjoy wasting time, do I had no idea the anime was so godawful at portraying battles.

The shell cracks dumbass, making it easier to break its defense hence the stat drop. It doesnt lose it.

It's one of those moves that only makes sense in-game. Imagine a Squirtle using Shell Smash, its internal organs would just fall off and it'd die.

Ah yeah because you know how Squirtle is actually made and how he could use that move.

It's closer to the games so it's better. Unless you're the type of autist who watches the anime.

So you're saying that the anime is better to just show turn-based battle where pokémon just jump and effects happen?

Why would it gain attack and speed if it isn't lighter and have can use more enrgy into attacking by not having shell?

Crustle loses shell altogether

The anime has been referring to Pokemon levels and experience points as an in universe reality since the first season.

The description for Shell Smash literally says

>The user breaks its shell, which lowers Defense and Sp. Def stats but sharply raises its Attack, Sp. Atk, and Speed stats.

It's not just a hyperbolic move name, it literally is breaking its shell.

Granted, literally breaking the shell only works for something like Dwebble and Crustle. Not turtle Pokemon whose shells are part of their body.

Do you know how turtles work? Their internal organs aren't behind the shell, they have another layer of skin under the shell.

The shell of turtles isn't something that grows on their skin. It's a modified ribcage that is connected to their skeletal system.

Quoted By:

Shell Smash doesn't really work on turtle Pokémon because the shell is basically their body. It works on stuff like Shuckle and the Dweeble line because the shell isn't a part of their body. Same kind of applies to the Oshawott line since they wield the shell as a weapon.
