CARDEX BACKGROUND
Cloyster closes its valves around a body difficult to reach. Its shell is extremely tough and opens only to attack. Old injuries heal into projections that become spikes. It can launch volleys of them at an opponent. The Pokédex also recounts its search for Slowpoke tails, which may lead it to crawl onto land. Its sturdy protection therefore hides an active hunter.
This account describes the species in the video games. It does not describe its Trainer’s history or that of this copy, and does not identify the depicted form or sex.Pokémon Ultra Sun explains that Cloyster's spikes appear on healed shell wounds. Pokémon Shield describes its closure as almost impossible to force. Its armor thus preserves traces of past attacks while strengthening future defense.
Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.
