*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. | <div style="float:right"> | ||

*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. | |||

**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. | |||
**In the games, Slowpoke evolves into Slowbro merely [[Methods of evolution#At or above a certain level|by leveling up]], and into Slowking via trading with said [[King's Rock]], although the transformed Shellder is still seen in the evolved form. The reason for this inconsistency is unknown. | |||
*Though {{p|Slowbro}}'s Silver Pokédex entry mentions that Shellder secretes venom, it cannot learn any Poison-type attacks by leveling up. | |||
