    RedIts hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
    BlueIts hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
    YellowThe shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.
    GoldIt swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.
    SilverGrains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.
    CrystalClamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort.
    FireredIt is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender.
    LeafgreenIts hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.

    SunThe hardness of its shell surpasses the hardness of a diamond. In days gone by, people used the shells to make shields.
    MoonThis 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.
    UltraSunThe 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.
    UltraMoonEven 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.
    SwordIt swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.
    ShieldIts hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
