'''Clamperl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パールル''' ''Pearlulu'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
|generation=3

}}
'''Clamperl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パールル''' ''Pearlulu'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].


It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gorebyss}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}} or into {{p|Huntail}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}}.
It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Huntail}} when {{DL|Trade|Pokémon that evolve when traded|traded}} while holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]] or into {{p|Gorebyss}} when traded while holding a [[Deep Sea Scale]].


==Biology==
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Clamperl is an aquatic {{wp|bivalve}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that makes its home on the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|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, usually depicted with its eyes closed. There is a circular white patch on each cheek.
Clamperl are blue Pokémon which resemble {{wp|clam}}s or {{wp|oyster}}s. Inside their tough, dark-blue outer shell is a fragile blue body composed of six spherical extensions, surrounding its small, pearl-like spherical pink head. Clamperl’s eyes are usually closed, and it has white, circular patches on the sides of its head, along with a silver coloring on the rim of their shell. A fully grown Clamperl’s shell will be scored with nicks and scratches all over.


====Gender differences====
The pearls produced by this Pokémon amplify psychic power and can be blue in color as seen in [[AG093|the anime]]. {{p|Spoink}}'s pearls come from Clamperl. These pearls are also 10 times more valuable than pearls produced by {{p|Shellder}}. It is carnivorous, clamping down on prey without letting go until it stops moving. When it is close to evolution, Clamperl will become too big to fit inside its shell. Clamperl is the only Pokémon that gains extra effects by holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]] or [[Deep Sea Scale]]. Clamperl have been observed being carried by {{p|Drifblim}}, its natural predator.
None.


===Special abilities===
===Evolution===
Clamperl mainly use their strong shells to protect themselves from predators. The shell can also be used {{m|Clamp}} down on its foes. Other than that, Clamperl's abilities as a {{type|Water}} Pokémon are fairly standard.
Clamperl evolves into either {{p|Huntail}} or {{p|Gorebyss}}.


While Clamperl is known to evolve while holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}} or a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}}, the two items can also magnify Clamperl's powers in certain ways (the DeepSeaScale doubles Clamperl's {{stat|Special Defense}} while the DeepSeaTooth doubles it {{stat|Special Attack}} power).
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)
 
<div style="float:center; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">
The magnificent pearls created by Clamperl upon [[evolution]] are infused with a mysterious energy. Such pearls can magnify {{t|Psychic}} powers. In fact, the pearls that {{p|Spoink}} carry are the ones that Clamperl make. On rare occasion, as evidenced by the episode ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'', a Clamperl can produce a blue pearl instead of the usual pink one (the reason for this is unknown).
{{Evobox/1branch2
 
|type1=Water
===Behavior===
|no1=0366
Clamperl is quite docile, except when confronted with prey or if its pearl is stolen. Once it {{m|clamp}}s down it refuses to let go unless it determines that it is clearly outmatched. When Clamperl's body becomes too large to fit inside its shell, it means that Clamperl is getting close to evolution.

==In the anime==
[[File:Clamperl anime.png|thumb|220px|Clamperl in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Clamperl made its debut in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. {{an|Spoink}} lost its pearl and took a blue pearl that was created by a Clamperl from [[Isaiah]]'s lab. {{TRT}} also wanted to get their hands on the blue pearl.
 
Clamperl were also featured in ''[[AG095|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 ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
 
A Coordinator used a Clamperl in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]''.
