"The study of the world is not as peaceful and easy as it looks, there are some places that are very dangerous and hostile sometimes is because of the local Flora or Fauna, or sometimes is the environment itself, while some of our scientists have thick hides or heavy armor, not every member of our staff are Rock type or Steel type, because of that we began developing a set of armor that allowed our more fragile scientist to study hostile environments, while looking for materials we avoided the use of metal or rock type coating, after all they are very heavy instead we inspired ourselves in the thick exoskeleton some Bug Type have, Metapod has a particular special armor, that offers several levels of hardening , we replicated metapod out shell and developed a electrical sensitive plate that hardens when it receives small electrical stimulation, this allows the plate to remain flexible and allow movement, to install the plates we developed a armor frame thats allows quick replacement of the plates, because the armor is almost hermetically sealed it has its own air filtering system and also several sensor built in to allow orientation without exposing the pilot, while the armor is a bit bulky and slow, it has showed great performance in different hostile environments, including volcanic regions, the rangers are already requesting us to build some prototypes for them, they are very interested in this armor tactical potential"
