So now that I've had some time to digest the shock that is Alola Forms, I've come to my opinion. I think it is a good idea, but I'm not sure if I'm a fan of the execution with the three we've seen so far. Two of them seem like completely random changes made just for the heck of it, and the third keeps its design in line, but has an incredibly random type. I hope that we get some Alola Forms that work with the existing lore of a Pokemon, instead of just randomly changing it like they did with Sandslash and Ninetails.
Also, I really hope that these new forms aren't used as an excuse to give us yet another region with a low amount of Pokemon. I'm not sure if I could take that two generations in a row.
Losing its shell is in reference to its ability, Shields Down, in which its outer shell cracks and falls off when its attacked. As the ability removes its shell, it wouldn't make that much sense if it had an attack doing the same thing.

In its bio, it states that once the shell is off, it becomes lighter. So it's probably like Shell Smash but as an ability.
