Pokédex Entries
Generation 1
| RedBlue | 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. |
Generation 2
| Gold | It swims facing backward by open ing 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. |
Generation 3
| RubySapphireEmerald | 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. |
|---|---|
| FireRedLeafGreen | It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender. |

Generation 7

|---|---|
| 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. |
| Ultra Sun | 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. |
| Ultra Moon | 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. |
