Shell Armor Effect

If the Pokemon takes damage from a single attack that exceeds a set percentage of its max HP, that damage will be reduced.

How to Use Shell Armor

Stay in the Frontlines

Larpas can utilize Shell Armor's damage reduction effect if it fights in the frontlines. Doing so allows Lapras to soak damage for its team, which will be benefitial in the long run.

Shell Armor Patch History

1.23.2.5 Damage reduction rate when receiving a single instance of damage exceeding 10% of max HP increased from 20% to 25%.
1.12.1.4 Damage reduction effect nerfed from 25% to 20%.
