Lorelei's Cloyster (Japanese: カンナのパルシェン Kanna'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 Pokémon Adventures 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 ThunderShock and Lorelei tells Cloyster to Withdraw into its shell and Pikachu's ThunderShock bounces off harmlessly, though it became too stunned to move.
After a long chase, Lorelei gets Cloyster to Aurora Beam Yellow and Bill, freezing them in place along with an entire tidal wave. Then Lorelei tries to extract information from Yellow by getting Cloyster to bombard them with its Supersonic, Yellow's Rattata comes and rescues them at the last minute with its Super Fang.
In Valiant Venomoth!, Lorelei appears again, this time riding in her Cloyster, to battle Green and Sabrina. She uses Voodoo dolls made from her Jynx to freeze their hands together and present the threat that any part of the dolls that are destroyed means they will, too. Cloyster then uses Ice Beam on them and it barely misses them. Green 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, and Lorelei then realizes that it had been using Mega Drain the whole time.
Cloyster also makes a small appearance getting defeated by a Blastoise's Hydro Pump in Clefabulous Clefable.
When Lorelei later reappeared in the FireRed & LeafGreen arc, she uses Cloyster again to defeat countless Unown with another Spike Cannon, but is taken by surprise when Sird's Starmie's use of Camouflage takes advantage of this opportunity to approach them whilst disguised as part of the terrain, and a Hyper Beam knocks both it and its trainer.

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.
