Shellder is a black pearl-like Pokémon encased within a spiky, blue-violet bivalve shell. It has two round white eyes with tiny black pupils. Its enormously long red tongue is used to burrow itself into sand to sleep overnight and also to lure and capture prey. The tongue protrudes even when its shell is closed and tugging it will cause the shell to pop open. Its soft and tender body is well-protected by its extremely durable shell, which is purported to be harder than diamonds and has historically been used by people to make shields. | Shellder is a black pearl-like Pokémon encased within a spiky, blue-violet bivalve shell.

Shellder has an unusually strong appetite for the tail of a {{p|Slowpoke}} and can develop a symbiotic relationship with the Dopey Pokémon. After attaching itself to the Slowpoke's tail, the two undergo a metamorphosis and together evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}. Alternatively, if it attaches to the head of a Slowpoke in possession of a [[King's Rock]], the two will instead evolve into {{p|Slowking}}. These relationships allow it to travel onto land and begin a new stage in its life cycle. | Shellder has an unusually strong appetite for the tail of a {{p|Slowpoke}} and can develop a symbiotic relationship with the Dopey Pokémon.
