Shellder is a water-type Pokémon that players can catch in Pokémon Go, notable for rewarding 1,000 Stardust upon capture. This makes it a desirable target during events that increase its spawn rate. While its evolved form, Cloyster, is generally not favored in raids compared to stronger ice- and water-types, it has some strategic use in the Ultra League PvP scene. The shiny variant of Shellder is available, but its catch rate is influenced by Niantic's event structures rather than boosted as a standard feature.
Shellder, a water-type bivalve Pokémon from Kanto, offers high Stardust rewards and is shiny eligible, making it a valuable catch during special events.
Though Cloyster lacks competitive use in raids due to the strength of other ice- and water-types, it occasionally proves valuable in Ultra League PvP.
Catching a single Shellder provides 1,000 Stardust, which can be significantly increased during events that enhance Shellder's spawn rates and Stardust rewards.
While Shellder can be shiny in Pokémon Go, the shiny rate is set by Niantic, with boosts mainly during special events rather than regularly.
