* It is interesting to note that past Generation II, Cloyster no longer has a method of obtaining the move {{m|Take-Down}} through breeding. {{p|Shellder}} and Cloyster were only able to obtain the move in Generation II due to the father learning it via [[TM09]] in Red or Blue and being traded to Gold or Silver and then bred. In Generations III and IV, this is no longer possible.
* Cloyster's cry is very similar to {{p|Fearow}}, aside from some differences in pitch and volume.
