Shellos (Japanese: カラナクシ Karanakushi) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Gastrodon starting at level 30.

Shellos have two different appearances: West Sea (pink and white) and East Sea (blue and green), found on the respective sides of Sinnoh's mountain range.

Biology

Shellos is a slug-like Pokémon whose appearance changes drastically depending on where it is found. However, both forms have a shell-like back and an amorphous lower body. Both forms also have yellow lining around their eyes, mouth, and back.

In the West Sea form, the underside is white and its shell is pink. The shell has several small spike-like protrusions on it. On its head is a ring of pink fleshy knobs resembling flower petals that spike up.

In the East Sea form, the underside is green and its shell is blue. The shell has two flap-like protrusions. These flaps are lined in yellow. On its head are two white-tipped knobs resembling horns that extend away from its face.

Shellos and its evolution Gastrodon are examples of allopatric speciation, though the two forms are still able to interbreed (the child takes the mother's form or the father's if bred with a Ditto). If it is pushed or squeezed, a mysterious purple fluid will ooze out of its body. In the anime, West Sea Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well. Shellos live along the sea shore.

West Sea Shellos in Pokémon Adventures

An East Sea Shellos first appeared in Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas, at the Seven Stars Restaurant under the ownership of a male Ace Trainer.

Shellos's most notable appearance is that of a companion of Mr. Fuego's. He typically keeps his East Sea Shellos on his shoulder, continuing to do so even after he accidentally imprisoned himself to avoid Team Galactic. It first appeared in Maddening Magby.

A West Sea Shellos did not appear until PS530 of the Black 2 & White 2 arc, where it was at the Pokéstar Studios, presumably under the ownership of one of the visiting Trainers from the Aspertia Trainer's School.
