Clamperl (Japanese: パールル Pearlulu) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Gorebyss when traded holding a DeepSeaScale or into Huntail when traded holding a DeepSeaTooth.
Biology
Clamperl is a blue clam or oyster-like Pokémon. Inside its tough, dark-blue outer shell is a fragile blue body composed of six spherical extensions, surrounding its small pearl-like spherical pink head. Clamperl's eyes are usually closed, and it has white, circular patches on the sides of its head, along with a silver coloring on the rim of its shell. A fully grown shell will have nicks and scratches all over. It has a strong shell that it uses to clamp down on its prey and protect itself from predators. It is close to evolution when it becomes too big to fit in its shell. The pearls it makes can amplify psychic power. In the anime, it is shown that a Clamperl can produce a blue pearl instead of a pink one. It lives in the sea.
In the anime
Major appearances
Clamperl made its debut in Clamperl of Wisdom. Spoink lost its pearl and took a blue pearl that was created by a Clamperl from Isaiah's lab. Team Rocket also wanted to get their hands on the blue pearl.

A Coordinator used a Clamperl in New Plot, Odd Lot!.
One also appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.

Trivia
- Clamperl shares the same species name with Shellder and Cloyster. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
- Clamperl is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade holding one of two different items.
- Although the Sapphire Pokédex entry states that a Clamperl would grow too large for its shell, a sign of near evolution, Clamperl can only evolve if it is traded while holding a certain item, after which it will evolve instantly.
Origin
Clamperl is possibly based on an oyster or a giant clam. Clamperl's appearance and its evolutions suggest that it could also be based on roe.
Name origin
Clamperl is a combination of clamp or clam and pearl.
Pearlulu is a combination of pearl and lulu (slang for someone or something that is exceptional or remarkable). It may also involve لؤلؤ lulu (Arabic for pearl).
