Shellder is a Water-type Pokémon that evolves into Cloyster with a Water Stone.

Shellder's tongue is always hanging out, as it sits on the sea floor. Shellder swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. When Shellder sleeps, it uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the sand and then sleeps in it. While Shellder is sleeping, it closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out. Attaching to a Slowpoke and evolving into Slowbro causes the Shellder to become parasitic, using the Slowbro as a host. It feeds on Slowbro's sap secretions, which taste so sweet it refuses to let go. It will also feed off Slowbro's leftovers.
