| Surf and Ice Beam are a must. They’re both STAB attacks and have high power on their own. Those two moves alone can defeat any Steel, Fire, Grass, or Dragon-type that may come against you. Ice Beam will also help you beat those Electric-types, but be careful. If a pokémon is one level over you and uses Thunderbolt, you better have some sky-high defense. Some people think of Hyper Beam as a curse because they have to recharge. I actually think that it’s extremely useful. If you lead with it (and it’s not used on a Ghost-type) you will land some pretty hard damage. That is why I suggest this move as the first to be used. Supersonic should be used second after you’re finished recharging to induce confusion to the already weakened that you just used Hyper Beam on because the lower that pokemon’s HP, the more likely it is to hurt itself in confusion. Cloyster is a wise choice for a team member, should you decide to add him to your team.

Cloyster (Japanese: パルシェン Parshen) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon.
It evolves from Shellder via Water Stone.
Biology
Physiology
Cloyster has a spiky shell, which is used to protect its soft insides from foes. Its "head" and face resemble a black pearl.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Cloyster has strong defenses and moderate offenses, both thanks to its sturdy shell. It fights by clamping its shell tightly shut while launching spikes from its shell to strike opponents.
Behavior
Cloyster is clever and sneaky Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey shooting with spikes. It fights roughly because of the hostile nature of its habitat and the protection of its shell, allowing it to withstand physical blows easily.
Habitat
Cloyster lives deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks.
Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
Misty battled against a Cloyster in The Bridge Bike Gang. Interestingly, its pre-evolution, Shellder, also made its debut in this episode, even though these two were not related or knew each other in any way.
Ash also battled one during the Indigo League in Fire and Ice.
Mateo owned a Cloyster in The Crystal Onix.
Prima used a Cloyster against Ash in The Mandarin Island Miss Match.
Butch used a Cloyster during his and Cassidy's attempt to capture Moltres in The Search for the Legend
A Cloyster appeared in Staging a Heroes Welcome under the ownership of Kyle.
In the manga
Cloyster's most predominant appearance is under Lorelei, during the Elite Four saga of Pokémon Special. It kept the voodoo dolls of Blue and Sabrina safely out of reach while Lorelei battled them.
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend Seven Island. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal.

Sprites
Trivia
- In Cloyster's Red and Blue sprites, the shell opens up and down, unlike its later sprites which have the shell going left to right. Also, its horn is missing, although the place where the horn normally is is clearly visible on the left (or Cloyster's right); since the bottom part is normal except that it is on the right, it seems as if the head inside has merely rotated, rather than the body being the wrong way around.
- Cloyster's core resembles a fangless Gastly. Coincidentally, Gastly comes immediately after Cloyster in the National Pokédex.
- Cloyster's core was changed from black to purple in Generation IV.
Origin
It appears to be based off of a bivalve with a black pearl as its head.
Name origin
Cloyster's name may be a combination of cloister, to seclude or shelter oneself, and oyster. It could also be a combination of clam and oyster. Its Japanese name may be a combination of パール pearl and シェル shell.
In other languages
- German: Austos - From Auster (oyster).
- French: Crustabri - From crustacé (crustacean) and abri (shelter).
- Korean: 파르셀 Pareusel
