Pokédex entries
Shellos
| Diamond | Its colors and shapes differ from region to region. In the Sinnoh region, two types are confirmed. |
|---|---|
| Pearl | It lives along bodies of water. Its body shape has changed to suit its habitat. |
| Platinum | Beware of pushing strongly on its squishy body, as it makes a mysterious purple fluid ooze out. |
| HeartGold SoulSilver |
Its shape and coloration vary, depending on its habitat. |
| Black White Black 2 White 2 |
Beware of pushing strongly on its squishy body, as it makes a mysterious purple fluid ooze out. |
| X Omega Ruby |
Beware of pushing strongly on its squishy body, as it makes a mysterious purple fluid ooze out. |
| Y Alpha Sapphire |
Its shape and coloration vary, depending on its habitat. |
| Brilliant Diamond | Its colors and shapes differ from region to region. In the Sinnoh region, two types are confirmed. |
| Shining Pearl | It lives along bodies of water. Its body shape changed to suit its habitat. |
| Legends: Arceus | Found in abundance on seashores bordering warm waters. Shellos are unexpectedly friendly and will crawl toward any person they see. Take care not to get coated in mucus! |
West Sea Form
| Sun | For the most part, it makes its home along the seashore. Its color and form differ according to its habitat and the quality of its food. |
|---|---|
| Moon | Purple mucus sticks to the hands of anyone who touches it. Take care, as the substance is troublesome to wash off. |
| Ultra Sun | While they normally live in the sea, they can function on land, too, until their skin dries out. |
| Ultra Moon | When it senses danger, a purple liquid oozes out of it. The liquid is thought to be something like greasy sweat. |
| Sword | This Pokémon’s habitat shapes its physique. According to some theories, life in warm ocean waters causes this variation to develop. |
| Shield | Subjecting this Pokémon to a strong force causes it to secrete a strange purple fluid. Though harmless, the fluid is awfully sticky. |
East Sea Form
| Sun | Shellos lives in the sea and feasts on plankton. The lovelier the ocean where Shellos resides, the more vibrant its color becomes. |
|---|---|
| Moon | The difference in color from one Shellos to another seems to be a result of their diet. No large changes can be seen in their capabilities. |
| Ultra Sun | When it senses danger, it gushes a purple liquid. Some theories suggest this liquid is a greasy sweat induced by stress. |
| Ultra Moon | Scientists interested in its great regenerative capabilities are currently analyzing the materials from which its cells are made. |
| Sword | There’s speculation that its appearance is determined by what it eats, but the truth remains elusive. |
| Shield | Its appearance changes depending on the environment. One theory suggests that living in cold seas causes Shellos to take on this form. |
East Sea
| Legends: Arceus | Found in abundance on seashores bordering cold waters. When pressed upon, the Pokémon will secrete from its body’s surface a purple fluid that will stain one’s clothes. |
|---|---|
| Scarlet | A recently published research paper states that this form of Shellos is gradually decreasing in number. |
| Violet | This Pokémon can often be seen along seashores. It’s capable of spending a limited amount of time on land. |
West Sea
| Scarlet | It used to have a shell on its back long ago. This species is closely related to Pokémon like Shellder. |
|---|---|
| Violet | It oozes a purple fluid to deter enemies. Apparently, there are more West Sea Shellos now than there were in the past. |
