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
Physiology
Shellos are slug-like Pokémon. Both forms have yellow lining around their eyes, mouth and back.
In the West Sea form, the underside is white, its back is pink in color and has small spike-like protrusions on it. On its head is a ring of pink fleshy knobs arranged like a flower.
In the East Sea form, the underside is green, its back is blue and has two flap-like protrusions. These flaps are lined in yellow. On its head are two white-tipped knobs resembling horns.
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).
It is shown in the anime that Shellos can extend their necks to incredible lengths. This has only been seen in the West Sea form. It is unknown if the East Sea form can do this as well, but it is most likely able to.
Gender differences
None.
Special abilities
Shellos, as a Water-type Pokémon, is capable of using moves of the said type, such as Rain Dance and Muddy Water. Although not yet a Ground-type, Shellos is capable of using several Ground-type moves involving mud, such as Mud Sport, Mud Bomb, and, if Water-type, the aforementioned Muddy Water. Shellos is also able to use Recover.

Shellos live along the sea shore.

Trivia
- Upon Shellos's discovery in the prerelease phase of Diamond and Pearl, fans thought it was a pre-evolution for Lapras due to its similar shape.
- According to an interview in Nintendo Power, Shellos and Gastrodon were originally designed for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, but were not implemented in the final design.
- Both Shellos and Gastrodon have a beta back sprite in Diamond and Pearl's game data; however, there are no front sprites for these forms, and neither can be captured in this form.
- These beta forms both are similar to the pink West Sea variations of Shellos and Gastrodon, possibly meaning that they were developed from the Generation III versions.
- 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.
- Shellos's Pokédex color is purple, which is probably due to the fact that pink (the color of the West Sea Shellos) mixed with blue (the color of the East Sea Shellos) would make a shade of light purple.
- 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.
- Shellos is the only Pokémon that can have the Sand Force Ability that isn't a Rock, Ground or Steel type.
- This also makes Shellos the only Pokémon that can have the Ability that wouldn't already be immune to Sandstorms anyway by virtue of its own type.
Origin
Shellos is based on a sea slug.
Name origin
Shellos may be a combination of shell and loss or lost (referring to its lack of a shell)
Karanakushi is a combination of 殻 kara (shell) and 無くした nakushita (to have lost) or 無し nashi (without).
