{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.
[[Lorelei]] owns a Cloyster that she uses as one of her main Pokémon alongside her {{p|Dewgong}}.  


Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.
Giovanni also uses a Cloyster despite it not being the type he specifies in. It was first used to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} in solid ice and then killed them by snapping the ice into pieces.
 
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].
 
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites and the Generation I Sugimori art was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.
