Shellshockers

"So-called Great Gonzales! Don't think I'm gonna take it easy on you, baby!"

- Shellshockers

The Shellshockers, a.k.a. the Turtles of Hurtle, is a fighting team in the Glitz Pit. This Major League Team consists of two Shady Koopas, one of whom is named Shellshock, and one Shady Paratroopa.

The Shellshockers are ranked 7th in the Glitz Pit.

Shady Koopa

 * HP: 8
 * ATK: 3
 * DEF: 1
 * Location: Glitzville, Pit of 100 Trials
 * Tattle Log: When a Shady Koopa flips back up from its back, its Attack increases. Shady Koopas have a place of honor in the Koopa family tree because of this distinction.
 * Tattle: That's a Shady Koopa. It's yet another member of the Koopa family tree. The difference between them and other Koopas?  They can attack from their backs! And when they flip back up, their Attack gets boosted and they go totally ape! ...Wow!  That's pretty tricky!  No wonder they're called Shady Koopas, huh?

Shady Paratroopa

 * HP: 8
 * Attack: 3
 * Defense: 1
 * Location: Glitzville
 * Tattle Number: 15
 * Tattle Log: Other than having wings, this creature isn't very difficult from a Shady Koopa. Once it flips off its back, it boosts its Attack.
 * Tattle: That's a Shady Paratroopa. It's a Shady Koopa with wings, obviously. Knock off its wings and it's a Shady Koopa. Unlike typical Koopas and Paratroopas, its Attack jumps when it flips up off its back. This also says it has a move that hits you and your ally at once.  Is that possible? Uh... I guess the best thing to do is just beat it quickly after we flip it.

Trivia

 * Despite the fact that the Shellshockers, like other major league groups, are rather cold towards Mario and his team, at least one of their members shows great support for Mario during the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door ' s final battle.
 * The term "shellshocked" is, in actuality, applied to a person who is easily startled by loud noises due to a history of bad experiences with noisy weapons.
