Cloyster is a Water/Ice-type Pokémon (National Dex #91) with a high stat total of 525. You can have one built for Scarlet & Violet, Sword & Shield, BDSP and Let's Go, and every copy is generated through the same PKHeX legality engine Pokémon HOME uses on deposit.

Its best stat is Defense at 180, which makes it a defensive wall. Attack and Special Attack sit close together, so it can run either a physical or a special set depending on what your team needs. When you order one here you pick the nature, EV spread, IVs and Tera type yourself, so you can build the exact spread the set calls for rather than breeding for it.

Defensively, Cloyster takes super-effective damage from Electric, Grass, Fighting, Rock. It resists Water, Ice. Its ability options are Shell Armor, Skill Link, Overcoat, and you choose which one your copy carries.

Cloyster evolves into Shellder. You can order any stage directly rather than raising it — useful when you want the final evolution at a specific level, or the pre-evolution with an egg move it can only learn early.

In-game, Cloyster has 58 recorded encounter locations across Scarlet & Violet (23), Sword & Shield (12), BDSP (15), Let's Go (8) — listed in full below with levels, catchable marks and legal Poké Balls. Note that at least one encounter is shiny-locked in Sword & Shield, meaning it cannot be found shiny there no matter how long you hunt. A shiny Cloyster ordered here is built with a legal PID and Encryption Constant, so it passes the same checks a hunted one does.
