  • Obtain this Pokémon from one of the permitted source games listed by the Masterdex workbook.

Pokédex Entries

Pokémon Red, Blue, LeafGreen, X & ShieldView entryHide entry

Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.

Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! & Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!View entryHide entry

The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.

Pokémon GoldView entryHide entry

It swims facing backward by open­ ing and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.

Pokémon Silver & SoulSilverView entryHide entry

Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.

Pokémon Crystal, Y & VioletView entryHide entry

Clamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort.

Pokémon Ruby & SapphireView entryHide entry

At night, this POKéMON uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the seafloor sand and then sleep in it. While it is sleeping, SHELLDER closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.

Pokémon FireRed & ScarletView entryHide entry

It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender.

Pokémon EmeraldView entryHide entry

At night, it burrows a hole in the seafloor with its broad tongue to make a place to sleep. While asleep, it closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.

Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Black, White, Black 2 & White 2View entryHide entry

It swims backward by opening and closing its two shells. Its large tongue is always kept hanging out.

Pokémon HeartGold & SwordView entryHide entry

It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.

Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha SapphireView entryHide entry

At night, this Pokémon uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the seafloor sand and then sleep in it. While it is sleeping, Shellder closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.

Pokémon SunView entryHide entry

The hardness of its shell surpasses the hardness of a diamond. In days gone by, people used the shells to make shields.

Pokémon MoonView entryHide entry

This Pokémon’s tongue is always hanging out. It uses its tongue with great dexterity to dig up sand from the seabed in its search for food.

Pokémon Ultra SunView entryHide entry

The sand that accumulates inside its shell eventually becomes a pearl. But the pearl gets in the way, so it spits it out and discards it.

Pokémon Ultra MoonView entryHide entry

Even when its shell is closed, its tongue still hangs out. If you give its tongue a good yank, the shock will cause Shellder to open its shell.
