Ah, well, let me tell ya about this Shellder in Pokémon Go. It’s one of them Water-type Pokémon, comes from the old Kanto region. Now, you might be wondering, “What’s all the fuss about this Shellder?” Well, let me break it down for ya real simple-like.
Shellder, bless its little heart, ain’t one of them rare Pokémon that’s always popping up like some of them others. It don’t get a “permaboost,” which means it ain’t all that likely to show up with a shiny version, no matter how much you walk around. But, don’t get me wrong, if you’re near water or beach areas, you might be lucky enough to spot one. I’ve seen it myself once or twice, but it’s not somethin’ you’ll run into all the time.

Now, if you manage to catch this little critter, you’ll need 50 candies to evolve it into its next form, Cloyster. Ain’t too bad, though. It’s like feedin’ a pig some corn before it grows big enough for market. You just gotta keep catchin’ Shellder and feed it them candies, and before you know it, you’ll have yourself a Cloyster. But if you don’t catch it around water or the beach, well, don’t be disappointed. You just gotta go to places where these water types tend to hang out.
Here’s a little tip, though: Shellder can sometimes be found in eggs during special events. Now, eggs in Pokémon Go are a bit like your old hen out back: you never quite know what’s gonna pop out. But if you get lucky and the eggs are part of a special event, like that Shared Skies one from June to September, you might hatch a Shellder and be on your way.
In them raids, Shellder don’t show up too often neither. But, when it does, it’s just like catchin’ a wild critter—ya gotta be quick, and be ready for a good ol’ battle. You may catch it if you’re lucky enough to take part in a raid during the right time, but it ain’t a common sight.
- Type: Water
- Evolution: Evolve into Cloyster with 50 candies
- Location: Near water and beaches
- Shiny Chance: Low, no permaboost
- Raids and Eggs: Available in special raids and event eggs
If you wanna catch one, best bet is to head on down to places where water’s flowin’. Lakes, rivers, or even them beach spots might just have you a Shellder sittin’ there waitin’ for ya. But don’t expect it to pop up every day, like a squirrel on a fence. Nah, you gotta be patient.
Battle Moves for Shellder: Now, when you catch yourself a Shellder, it’s got some decent moves for combat. It’s got a few attack moves like “Tackle” and “Ice Beam,” which can come in handy when you’re up against them other Pokémon. If you’re out in the field and need a strong defender, Shellder’s evolvin’ into Cloyster gives you a good option for them tougher battles. You won’t have trouble fightin’ with Cloyster, as long as you’ve got it leveled up right. Just don’t expect it to be the strongest one out there, like some of them legendary ones.
CP and HP Values: Now, some folks are real into them CPs and HPs, but to be honest with you, ain’t nobody really need to know all them numbers. Shellder ain’t the kind of Pokémon that’s gonna win you a battle by sheer power alone. But, as you keep catchin’ ‘em, it’ll get stronger, and you’ll have yourself a fine fighter on your hands. Max CP for a Cloyster, though, can get up there pretty good. So, if you got your heart set on battlin’, it’s worth the effort.
And lastly, just a friendly reminder, don’t get too down if you can’t find one real easy. Sometimes Pokémon are like them wild animals—hard to catch when you want ’em the most. But with a little patience and some good old-fashioned wanderin’ around, you just might find yourself a Shellder or two. And don’t forget—if you’re out there on a sunny day by the water, you’ll probably have a better chance.
So, that’s all I got to say about Shellder in Pokémon Go. It’s not the rarest, not the hardest to catch, but it sure is a fun one to add to your collection. Good luck out there!
