Story

Shellos is a unique Water-type Pokémon known for its ability to change form depending on its ocean home. This friendly little Pokémon thrives along seashores, where its color becomes more vibrant in cleaner waters. It has a squishy body that can release a sticky, purple fluid when it feels threatened — a clever way to keep safe in the sea!

There are two forms of Shellos: the West Sea form and the East Sea form. Each looks slightly different, influenced by the warm or cold waters they call home. While they may appear different, both kinds of Shellos enjoy munching on plankton and can live on land for a short time. With their great ability to heal and their love for ocean life, Shellos are fascinating creatures to befriend!
