Number 090: Shellder, the Bivalve Pokémon. Height: 1'0", Weight: 9.0lbs.

| Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open. |
The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed. |
It swims facing backward by open- ing and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast. |
Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls. |
Clamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort. |
