Diet
- Main article: Pokémon food
In the anime
The first time a Shellder was seen was in The Bridge Bike Gang. It was sick and Nurse Joy sent Ash, Misty, and Brock over to Sunny City, (where Shellder was), to deliver some medicine. Once the Sunny City Nurse Joy gave Shellder the medicine, it got better instantly.
Jessie captures a Shellder in The Evolution Solution. Later in the episode, it bites on a Slowpoke's tail, making it into a Slowbro and leaving Jessie's team.

Trivia
- It shares a bond with Slowbro and Slowking.
- The change in Shellder's evolution when linked to a Slowpoke seems to only occur when attached to a 'living' part of the creature, as with the introduction of the item Slowpoketail in Generation II does not force a spiral evolution as one might suspect.
- Shellder and Cloyster share the same species name with Clamperl. They are all known as Bivalve Pokémon.
- No sprites have Shellder's tongue unexposed.
Origin
It is similar to clams and other bivalves.
Name origin
Shellder's name seems to be a corruption of shell. It also sounds like shelter, perhaps referring to Slowbro and hermit crabs.
