Shellos (Japanese: カラナクシ Karanakushi) is a Water-type Pokémon.

Shellos have two different appearences - one if caught on the west of Sinnoh (pink), another if caught on the east (blue). There is a myth that Sinnoh was once split into two halves; the two colorings of Shellos are often cited as evidence.

Trivia

• There was initially some misinformation on some Pokémon websites, claiming that Shellos was the pre-evolved form of Lapras.
• When Serebii.net revealed Shellos' US name, the site originally interpreted its name as "Snelios" or "Shelios" due to poor image quality.
• According to an interview in Nintendo Power, Shellos and Gastrodon were originally designed for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but were not implemented in the final design.

Origin

Shellos is based on sea slugs.

Name Origin

Its English name appears to be a pun on Shell and the suffix -less, as Shellos does not have a shell. The Japanese name Karanakushi literally translates to "a snail without a shell."
