Biology
Physiology
Clamperl are blue Pokémon which look resemble clams or oysters. Inside their tough outer shell is a fragile blue body and a small pink head. When a Clamperl's shell is battered and dented, it is a sure sign that it is prepared for evolution.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Clamperl mainly use their strong shells to protect themselves from predators. The shell can also be used Clamp down on its foes. Other than that, Clamperl's abilities as a Water-type Pokemon are fairly basic.
While Clamperl is known to evolve while holding a Deep Sea Scale or a Deep Sea Tooth, the two items can also magnify Clamperl's powers in certain ways (the Deep Sea Scale doubles Clamperl's Sp Defense while the Deep Sea Tooth doubles it Sp Attack power).
The pearls created by Clamperl can magnify Psychic powers. In fact, the pearls that Spoink carry are the ones that Clamperl make.
Behavior
Clamperl is quite docile, except when confronted with prey or if its pearl is stolen. Once it clamps down it ceases to let go unless it determines that it is clearly outmatched.
