RedBlueIts hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
YellowThe shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.
StadiumIts shell is harder than diamond. It hides in sand on the sea floor and catches prey with its soft tongue.
GoldStadium 2It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.
SilverGrains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.
CrystalClamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort.
