Flavor Text

Red/Blue Leaf Green Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It's vulnerable only when its shell is open.

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

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

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

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

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

Ruby/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.

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