Game data
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen
- Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
- Pokémon Yellow
- The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.
- Pokémon Gold
- It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.
- Pokémon Silver
- Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.
- Pokémon Crystal
- Clamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort.
- Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire
- 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 Emerald
- 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 FireRed
- It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender.
