Pokedex Entries
| Game | Entry |
|---|---|
| LegendsArceus | Found in abundance on seashores bordering warm waters. Shellos are unexpectedly friendly and will crawl toward any person they see. Take care not to get coated in mucus! |
| Diamond | Its colors and shapes differ from region to region. In the Sinnoh region, two types are confirmed. |
| Pearl | It lives along bodies of water. Its body shape has changed to suit its habitat. |
| Platinum | Beware of pushing strongly on its squishy body, as it makes a mysterious purple fluid ooze out. |
| Sun | For the most part, it makes its home along the seashore. Its color and form differ according to its habitat and the quality of its food. Shellos lives in the sea and feasts on plankton. The lovelier the ocean where Shellos resides, the more vibrant its color becomes. |
| Moon | Purple mucus sticks to the hands of anyone who touches it. Take care, as the substance is troublesome to wash off. The difference in color from one Shellos to another seems to be a result of their diet. No large changes can be seen in their capabilities. |
| UltraSun | While they normally live in the sea, they can function on land, too, until their skin dries out. When it senses danger, it gushes a purple liquid. Some theories suggest this liquid is a greasy sweat induced by stress. |
| UltraMoon | When it senses danger, a purple liquid oozes out of it. The liquid is thought to be something like greasy sweat. Scientists interested in its great regenerative capabilities are currently analyzing the materials from which its cells are made. |
| Sword | This Pokémon’s habitat shapes its physique. According to some theories, life in warm ocean waters causes this variation to develop. There’s speculation that its appearance is determined by what it eats, but the truth remains elusive. |
| Shield | Subjecting this Pokémon to a strong force causes it to secrete a strange purple fluid. Though harmless, the fluid is awfully sticky. Its appearance changes depending on the environment. One theory suggests that living in cold seas causes Shellos to take on this form. |
| BrilliantDiamond | Its colors and shapes differ from region to region. In the Sinnoh region, two types are confirmed. |
| ShiningPearl | It lives along bodies of water. Its body shape changed to suit its habitat. |
| Scarlet | A recently published research paper states that this form of Shellos is gradually decreasing in number. It used to have a shell on its back long ago. This species is closely related to Pokémon like Shellder. |
| Violet | This Pokémon can often be seen along seashores. It’s capable of spending a limited amount of time on land. It oozes a purple fluid to deter enemies. Apparently, there are more West Sea Shellos now than there were in the past. |
