==Appearance== Cloyster can only be legitimately obtained by evolving a Shellder via a water stone, and since Shellder can only be obtained in [[Pokémon FireRed]], [[Pokémon Pearl]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] in the current games, they cannot be obtained in many games. Their availability is directly linked to the presence of Shellder, making them difficult to obtain. As a battler, Cloyster, despite their excellent defense points, lack the ability to be used competitively because of their low HP and special defense. Due to these stats, if any "special-attacker" strikes a Cloyster, they could faint almost instantly. This is especially true if Cloyster is struck by a Grass-, Electric-, Fighting- or Rock-type attack, as Cloyster are vulnerable to them. Cloyster's ability is Shell Armor, which blocks Critical Hits (Any move has a 12.5% chance of doing double damage and ignoring any stat modifiers.) The only way to capture a Cloyster in the wild is by using a Game Shark or other cheating device. Theoretically, if a Cloyster was obtained in the wild, there would be a 50% chance that it would have a Pearl attached and a 5% chance that it would have a Big Pearl. One could also possibly steal a Pearl or Big Pearl from a Cloyster owned by a trainer in the game (items can be stolen from other Pokémon with the Thief attack). Cloyster also makes an appearance as one of the Pokémon available to be photographed in Pokémon Snap. In the River level they will occasionally leap out of the water, slowly spinning in the air, before splashing back into the water. They also appear in Pokémon Pinball as a part of the Blue field, and as a miniature one who sits in the left pocket as part of the process of evolving a Pokémon that the player has caught. The ball must be run up the left ramp three times for the left pocket to light-up, then shot into the pocket and into the Cloyster's shell to bring up a list of Pokémon that the player has caught during the game. Selecting one of the Pokémon initiates the Evolve 'Em mode.
