Does anyone think Pearl is unable to shapeshift?

We've never seen her shapeshifting. In Secret Team, she asks Amethyst to shapeshift instead of doing it herself. After Amethyst says she can't, Pearl does nothing else. Garnet is not known to shapeshift frequently like Amethyst, but on two occasions she's been seen doing it. Lastly, Jasper calls her a "defective pearl". Jasper has never met Pearl before this and wouldn't know whether she could shapeshift or not. Maybe there's some sort of physical indicator that she can't shapeshift, or perhaps Pearls can't change shape. Pearl herself claims all Gems can do this. If all Gems can do it except for Pearl, that would make her "defective".

Obviously there are some holes, but that's just my take on it.
