For protection, it uses its harder-than-diamond shell. It also shoots spikes from the shell.
Slowpoke tails are its favorite food. It has even been known to come up on land to look for Slowpoke from time to time.
If areas of Cloyster’s very hard shell get damaged, those areas swell, gradually growing into large sharp spikes.
Excavation of the tombs of ancient hunting tribes has turned up many spears tipped with spikes that had fallen off this Pokémon’s shell.
Its hard shell cannot be shattered—not even by a bomb. The contents of the shell remain unknown.
It fights by keeping its shell tightly shut for protection and by shooting spikes to repel foes.
