Shellder | Pokédex

Gen I Gen II Gen III Gen IV Gen V Gen VI Gen VII Gen VIII Gen IX

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

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

Omega Ruby/Alpha 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.
