It is waiting for the moment to evolve. At this stage, it can only harden, so it remains motionless to avoid attack.
Sword
Its hard shell doesn’t crack a bit even if Pikipek pecks at it, but it will tip over, spilling out its insides.
Ultra Moon
Its shell is filled with a thick liquid. All of the cells throughout its body are being rebuilt in preparation for evolution.
Ultra Sun
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.
Moon
Its shell is filled with its soft innards. It doesn’t move much because of the risk it might carelessly spill its innards out.
Sun
A steel-hard shell protects its tender body. It quietly endures hardships while awaiting evolution.
