Once it slams its shell shut, it is impossible to open, even by those with superior strength.

Silver

CLOYSTER that live in seas with harsh tidal currents grow large, sharp spikes on their shells.

Crystal

Even a missile can't break the spikes it uses to stab opponents. They're even harder than its shell.

Sun

Moon

Excavation of the tombs of ancient hunting tribes has turned up many spears tipped with spikes that had fallen off this Pokémon’s shell.

Ultra Sun

If areas of Cloyster’s very hard shell get damaged, those areas swell, gradually growing into large sharp spikes.

Ultra Moon

Slowpoke tails are its favorite food. It has even been known to come up on land to look for Slowpoke from time to time.
