Cloyster (Japanese: パルシェン Parshen) is a dual-type Water/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
It evolves from Shellder when exposed to a Water Stone.
Biology
Cloyster is a black, pearl-like Pokémon. It is encased inside a light-gray shell, which is surrounded by a second jagged, blue-violet outer shell casing. It has one barb-like spike protruding from above its head, and multiple conical horns on its outer shell. Its shell is harder than diamond with spikes that are even harder; harsh tidal currents will affect the size and sharpness of these spikes. On its pearl-like face, it has two white eyes and a mouth. Aside from its face and head, its internal anatomy has never been seen.
It typically only opens its shell to attack an opponent. However, it is fully capable of retaliating against any enemy with its shell tightly closed. With rapid succession, it launches its spikes at the foe, keeping them repelled. Once it has shut itself in, it is impossible to open its shell from the outside. This impressive defense allows it to withstand anything from a bomb blast to even a missile strike. The same projectile system it uses to launch its spikes is also used for swimming. It swallows seawater, and then ejects it towards the rear propelling it through with siphon-jet propulsion. It lives on the sea floor, nestled among the rocks and coral, though it will actively hunt on land for Slowpoke tails.
In the anime
Major appearances
Lorelei's Cloyster
Lorelei used a Cloyster against Ash in The Mandarin Island Miss Match. Cloyster battled Pikachu and won.
Other
Cloyster debuted in The Bridge Bike Gang, under the ownership of Tyra. It was used in a battle against Misty, who was going to use Starmie. However, Psyduck popped out of its Poké Ball instead, which resulted in Tyra winning the match.
A Cloyster belonging to Pete Pebbleman appeared during the Indigo Plateau Conference in Fire and Ice. Ash battled it with Kingler, who was able to defeat Cloyster. It reappeared in a flashback in Friends to the End. Also, in the latter episode, another Trainer's Cloyster appeared during the closing ceremonies of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
