Metapod
Sun

Its shell is filled with its soft innards. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.

Moon

Its shell is hard, but it’s still just a bug shell. It’s been known to break, so intense battles with it should be avoided.

Ultra Sun

Its shell is filled with a thick liquid. All of the cells throughout its body are being rebuilt in preparation for evolution.

Ultra Moon

Its hard shell doesn’t crack a bit even if Pikipek pecks at it, but it will tip over, spilling out its insides.

Lets Go Pikachu/Lets Go Eevee

Hardens its shell to protect itself. However, a large impact may cause it to pop out of its shell.
