When attacked, it launches its horns in quick volleys. Its innards have never been seen.
For protection, it uses its harder- than-diamonds shell. It also shoots spikes from the shell.
Once it slams its shell shut, it is impossible to open, even by those with superi or strength.
CLOYSTER that live in seas with harsh tidal currents grow large, sharp spikes on their shells.
Even a missile can't break the spikes it uses to stab opponents. They're even hard er than its shell.
CLOYSTER is capable of swimming in the sea. It does so by swallowing water, then jetting it out toward the rear. This POKéMON shoots spikes from its shell using the same system.
