Lorelei's Cloyster (Japanese: カンナのパルシェン Canna's Parshen; known in the anime dub as Prima's Cloyster) is a Pokémon owned by Lorelei in the anime, games, and manga.

In the anime

In The Mandarin Island Miss Match, Lorelei uses Cloyster against numerous opponents in a tournament and defeats them all. Eventually, Ash challenges her to a battle. They agree to use one Pokémon each, and Lorelei uses Cloyster against Pikachu. Pikachu uses a Thunderbolt, but Cloyster Withdraws into its shell and the attack hits it harmlessly. Pikachu then uses Agility, but Cloyster uses Reflect and Pikachu gets thrown backwards. After getting back on its feet, Pikachu uses Thunder which hits Cloyster, who starts to glow red. Pikachu tries to use Quick Attack, but is defeated by an Aurora Beam-Take Down combo, causing Ash to lose.

In the manga

In the manga, Lorelei's Cloyster is one of her main Pokémon. In Cloystered, it appeared as Lorelei's main Pokémon. With her Dewgong, Cloyster traps Yellow and Bill in a cave by collapsing the entrance with a Spike Cannon. When Yellow tries to escape, Cloyster sends an Ice Beam-powered Spike Cannon which stops them. Eventually, they do escape and Yellow attacks with Pikachu, it uses Thunderbolt and Lorelei tells Cloyster to Withdraw into its shell and Pikachu's Thunderbolt bounces off harmlessly.

After a long chase, Lorelei gets Cloyster to Aurora Beam Yellow and Bill, freezing them in place. Then Lorelei tries to extract information from Yellow by getting Cloyster to bombard them with its Supersonic, a Rattata comes and rescues them at the last minute.

In Valiant Venomoth, Lorelei appears again, this time riding in her Cloyster, to battle Blue and Sabrina. She uses Voodoo dolls made from her Jynx to freeze their hands together. Cloyster then uses Ice Beam on them and it barely misses them. Blue sends out Nidorina and Sabrina uses Venomoth. Nidorina charges at Cloyster and Venomoth uses Sleep Powder. Cloyster uses Blizzard to blow the Sleep Powder into Nidorina's face which puts her to sleep. Venomoth charges again and again with Cloyster withdrawing each time so that all the attacks don't hit. Eventually Cloyster falls over, fainted, Venomoth had been using Leech Life that whole time.

Cloyster also makes a small appearance getting defeated by a Blastoise's Hydro Pump in Clefabulous Clefable.
