Revision as of 14:28, 7 January 2018
Shellos (Japanese: カラナクシ Karanakushi) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
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.

Major appearances
Zoey's West Sea Shellos first appeared in A Stand-Up Sit-Down!, in which it partnered with Zoey's Glameow to show Dawn and her Pokémon a Double Performance. Since then, it has become one of Zoey's most reliable Pokémon in her journey to win the title of Top Coordinator. In Last Call — First Round!, it was shown to have evolved into a Gastrodon.
Other
Several of both kinds of Shellos appeared in Gateway to Ruin!.
Minor appearances
An East Sea Shellos made a cameo in The Rise of Darkrai.
Two East Sea Shellos appeared in Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!, during a fantasy.
Three Shellos, two of them West Sea and the third East Sea, appeared in SM046.

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
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 Movie Panic, where it was at the Pokéstar Studios, presumably under the ownership of one of the visiting Trainers from the Aspertia Trainers' School.
