==History==

Lorelei's Cloyster is one of her main Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures. It first appeared along with her {{p|Dewgong}}, Cloyster traps {{adv|Yellow}} and {{adv|Bill}} in a cave by collapsing the entrance with a {{m|Spike Cannon}}. When Yellow tries to escape, Cloyster sends an {{m|Ice Beam}}-powered Spike Cannon which stops them. Eventually, they do escape and Yellow attacks with [[Pika]], with it using {{m|ThunderShock}}. Lorelei tells Cloyster to {{m|Withdraw}} into its shell and Pika's ThunderShock bounces off harmlessly, though it became too stunned to move.

After a long chase, Lorelei gets Cloyster to {{m|Aurora Beam}} Yellow and Bill, {{status|Freeze|freezing}} them in place along with an entire tidal wave. Then Lorelei tries to extract information from Yellow by getting Cloyster to bombard them with its {{m|Supersonic}}, [[Ratty|Yellow's Rattata]] comes and rescues them at the last minute with its {{m|Super Fang}}.

In ''[[PS073|Valiant Venomoth!]]'', Lorelei appears again, this time riding in her Cloyster, to battle {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]]. She uses voodoo dolls made from her {{p|Jynx}} to freeze their hands together and present the threat that any part of the dolls that are destroyed means they will, too. Cloyster then uses {{m|Ice Beam}} on them and it barely misses them. Green sends out [[Green (Adventures)#Nidory|Nidorina]] and Sabrina uses {{p|Venomoth}}. Nidorina {{m|Take Down|charges}} at Cloyster and Venomoth uses {{m|Sleep Powder}}. Cloyster uses {{m|Blizzard}} to blow the Sleep Powder into Nidorina's face which puts her to sleep. Venomoth charges again and again with Cloyster withdrawing each time so that all the attacks don't hit. Eventually Cloyster falls over, fainted, and Lorelei then realizes that it had been using {{m|Mega Drain}} the whole time.

When Lorelei later reappeared in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, she uses Cloyster again to defeat countless {{p|Unown}} with another Spike Cannon, but is taken by surprise when [[Sird]]'s {{p|Starmie}}'s use of {{m|Camouflage}} takes advantage of this opportunity to approach them whilst disguised as part of the terrain, and a {{m|Hyper Beam}} knocks both it and its Trainer.

In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', {{tt|Prima|Lorelei's name in the anime}} used Cloyster against numerous opponents in a tournament and defeated them all. Eventually, {{Ash}} challenged Prima to a battle. They agreed to use one Pokémon each, and Prima used Cloyster against {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu used a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Cloyster {{m|Withdraw}}ed into its shell and the attack hit it harmlessly. Pikachu then used {{m|Agility}}, but Cloyster used {{m|Reflect}} and Pikachu got thrown backwards. After getting back on his feet, Pikachu used {{m|Thunder}} which hit Cloyster, who started to {{m|Rage|glow red}}. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Quick Attack}}, but was defeated by an {{m|Aurora Beam}}-{{m|Take Down}} combo, causing Ash to lose.

During {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s time in the Pokémon League, Lorelei sends out her Cloyster. Cloyster goes up against Satoshi's {{p|Raichu}} who has the type-disadvantage against the {{type|Electric}}. It wasn't long before Cloyster gets taken out by Raichu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}, advancing Satoshi to the next room. Cloyster was not seen using any moves due to its brief appearance.
