Pokedex descriptions

Ruby	CLAMPERL's sturdy shell is not only good for protection - it is also used for clamping and catching prey. A fully grown CLAMPERL's shell will be scored with nicks and scratches all over.
Sapphire	CLAMPERL grows while being protected by its rock-hard shell. When its body becomes too large to fit inside the shell, it is sure evidence that this POKéMON is getting close to evolution.
Emerald	A CLAMPERL slams its shell closed on prey to prevent escape. The pearl it creates upon evolution is said to be infused with a mysterious energy.
FireRed LeafGreen	It is protected by a sturdy shell. Once in a lifetime, it makes a magnificent pearl.
Diamond Pearl Platinum Black White	It makes a single pearl during its lifetime. The pearl is said to amplify psychic power.
HeartGold SoulSilver	When it evolves, it makes a mysterious pearl that amplifies psychic powers when it's held.
