Pokedex Entries
Game | Entry |
---|---|
Red | Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
Blue | Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
Yellow | The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed. |
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. |
Firered | It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender. |
Leafgreen | Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
Heartgold | It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast. |
Soulsilver | Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls. |
X | Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
Y | Clamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort. |
Sun | The hardness of its shell surpasses the hardness of a diamond. In days gone by, people used the shells to make shields. |
Moon | This Pokémon’s tongue is always hanging out. It uses its tongue with great dexterity to dig up sand from the seabed in its search for food. |
UltraSun | The sand that accumulates inside its shell eventually becomes a pearl. But the pearl gets in the way, so it spits it out and discards it. |
UltraMoon | Even when its shell is closed, its tongue still hangs out. If you give its tongue a good yank, the shock will cause Shellder to open its shell. |
Sword | It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast. |
Shield | Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
Scarlet | It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender. |
