Shellos (Japanese: カラナクシ Karanakushi) is a Water-type Pokémon.
It evolves into Gastrodon starting at level 30.
Shellos have two different appearances: West Sea (pink and white) and East Sea (blue and green), found on the respective sides of Sinnoh's mountain range.
Biology
Shellos is a slug-like Pokémon whose appearance changes drastically depending on where it is found. However, both forms have a shell-like back and an amorphous lower body. Both forms also have yellow lining around their eyes, mouth, and back.
In the West Sea form, the underside is white and its shell is pink. The shell has several small spike-like protrusions on it. On its head is a ring of pink fleshy knobs resembling flower petals that spike up.
In the East Sea form, the underside is green and its shell is blue. The shell has two flap-like protrusions. These flaps are lined in yellow. On its head are two white-tipped knobs resembling horns that extend away from its face.
Shellos and its evolution Gastrodon are examples of allopatric speciation, though the two forms are still able to interbreed (the child takes the mother's form or the father's if bred with a Ditto). If it is pushed or squeezed, a mysterious purple fluid will ooze out of its body. In the anime, West Sea Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well. Shellos live along the sea shore.

Trivia
- According to an interview in Nintendo Power, Shellos and Gastrodon were originally intended for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire; they were not included due to time constraints.
- This reference is later used in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, as both West Shellos and East Shellos (as well as West Gastrodon and East Gastrodon) are exclusive to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, respectively.
- Both Shellos and Gastrodon have early back sprites that can be found in the game data for Diamond and Pearl; however, there are no front sprites for these forms.
- In Diamond and Pearl, no in-game Trainer uses East Sea Shellos in battle, even if the Trainer's current location is east of Mt. Coronet. This changes in Platinum where all Trainers east of Mt. Coronet may have the eastern variety.
- When Shellos are bred, their form is always the same as their mother or non-Ditto parent.
- Shellos's Pokédex entry for Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver is the shortest Pokédex entry of any main series game, consisting of only nine words.
- Prior to Generation VI, Shellos's body style was .
