I can see how Escavalier borrows traits from Shelmet when it evolves, but what the hell do Accelgor and Karrablast have in common? It doesn't really look ninja-y, it's not particularly fast, and all its dex entries talk about is how it evolves when attacking Shelmet
Accelgor is meant to look like a de-shelled snail. You could argue that it's just because Karrablast's horn pries Shelmet's armour off and steals it. Accelgor doesn't necessarily -have- to take any design inspiration from Karrablast at all.

They're both lewd

That's not the point. Shelmet's shell was holding it back. Shedding it let it become stronger.
Shelmet doesn't gain anything from Karrablast, it's not an equal exchange in material terms.

Oh. That makes sense actually
Karrablast is based on a beetle that Japan refers to as "shell-wearers", because they eat snails and can often be found inside of their shells, so it looks like they've stolen the snail's shell for its own protection ("jojo reference", ect ect).

Karrablast loves doing hoodrat things, he jacks the fag takes his armour and smokes cigawets
