 [[File:Evolution anime.png|thumb|Shellder and {{p|Slowpoke}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
 * 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 above), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.
-* 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.
-** It is also mentioned that if the Shellder on Slowking's head comes off, it forgets everything it knows. However, unlike Slowbro's entries there is no indication of devolution. It's possible that the Slowking evolution is irreversible for both Pokémon, and that Shellder is not detachable like a crown.
 * Shellder and {{p|Cloyster}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Clamperl}}. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
 * Shellder are one of the few Pokémon to show their entire body in a backsprite before [[Generation V]], which it does in [[Generation II]].
 * Shellder were shown to be capable of floating through the air in [[Pokémon Snap]], a trait that has been seen in no other media.
 * In the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', it's revealed that Shellder is still capable of speech as the shell of a Slowbro.
-* Shellder is the only Pokémon outside of the {{p|Oshawott}} family that can learn {{m|Razor Shell}}.
