Flavor Text

Sun The hardness of its shell surpasses the hardness of a diamond. In days gone by, people used the shells to make shields.
Moon This Pokémon’s tongue is always hanging out. It uses its tongue with great dexterity to dig up sand from the seabed in its search for food.
Ultra Sun The sand that accumulates inside its shell eventually becomes a pearl. But the pearl gets in the way, so it spits it out and discards it.
Ultra Moon Even when its shell is closed, its tongue still hangs out. If you give its tongue a good yank, the shock will cause Shellder to open its shell.
Let's Go, Pikachu! The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.
Let's Go, Eevee!
