Clamperl (Japanese: パールル Pearlulu) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Gorebyss when traded holding a DeepSeaScale or into Huntail when traded holding a DeepSeaTooth.
Biology
Clamperl is an aquatic Pokémon that makes its home on the seafloor. Its bivalve shell is dark blue with a silver rim along the inner edges. The shell is used to clamp down on prey, as well as for protection. A fully-grown shell will have nicks and scratches all over. Inside of the shell is a fragile, light blue body composed of six spherical extensions with a pink, pearl-like head in the center. There is a circular white patch on each cheek. The pearls produced by this Pokémon amplify psychic power, and may be blue as seen in the anime. When it is close to evolution, Clamperl will become too big to fit inside its shell.
In the anime
Major appearances
Clamperl made its debut in Clamperl of Wisdom. Spoink lost its pearl and took a blue pearl that was created by a Clamperl from Isaiah's lab. Team Rocket also wanted to get their hands on the blue pearl.
Clamperl were also featured in The Evolutionary War!. Trainers that lived on the A-B-C Islands had a rivalry over which Clamperl evolution was stronger.
Minor appearances
A Clamperl appeared in the opening of Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
A Coordinator used a Clamperl in New Plot, Odd Lot!.
One also appeared in Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade.

Trivia
- Clamperl shares the same species name with Shellder and Cloyster. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.
- Clamperl is the only Pokémon that evolves by trade holding one of two different items.
Origin
Clamperl is possibly based on an oyster or a giant clam. Clamperl's appearance and its evolutions suggest that it could also be based on roe.
Name origin
Clamperl is a combination of clamp or clam and pearl.
Pearlulu is a combination of pearl and lulu (slang for someone or something that is exceptional or remarkable). It may also involve لؤلؤ lulu (Arabic for pearl).
