*In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve {{p|Slowpoke}} into {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Slowking}}. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve (see right), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself. | *In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve {{p|Slowpoke}} into {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Slowking}}.

**Some of Slowbro's [[Pokédex]] entries states that if the Shellder becomes detached, it will [[devolution|devolve]] back into a Slowpoke, one of the very few references to devolution. | |||
**The change in Shellder's evolution when linked to a {{p|Slowpoke}} seems to only occur when attached to a 'living' part of the creature, as with the introduction of the item {{DL|Valuable item|Slowpoketail}} in [[Generation II]] does not force a spiral evolution as one might suspect. | **The change in Shellder's evolution when linked to a {{p|Slowpoke}} seems to only occur when attached to a 'living' part of the creature, as with the introduction of the item {{DL|Valuable item|Slowpoketail}} in [[Generation II]] does not force a spiral evolution as one might suspect. | ||
**Shellder's shiny form is golden-brown, as is the attached Shellder in Slowbro's shiny form. It is not a different color at all on Slowking's shiny form. | **Shellder's shiny form is golden-brown, as is the attached Shellder in Slowbro's shiny form.
