Cloyster is a Pokemon that originates from the Kanto region and appears in Pokemon Sword & Shield. This guide will reveal its location and how players can capture it. Pokemon Sword & Shield brings trainers into the Galar region for the very first time. Like with all the other mainline titles in the series, players select one of three starter Pokemon, then travel the world to build a powerful team while slowly taking down Pokemon gyms. All with the goal to participate in the Pokemon League and become the region champion. Cloyster is a Pokemon that can help players accomplish this goal. Here’s how players can find and capture one in the game.

Cloyster is one of the original 151 Pokemon. It evolves from a Shellder once it is exposed to a Water Stone. This Water/Ice Pokemon is fairly strong and would make an excellent front runner as the Water-type of the team. It was one of the Pokemon lucky enough to make the cut from the Kanto region, as Pokemon Sword & Shield cut almost half of its Pokedex to save time on development. Even with the original 151 Pokemon, several fan-favorites were cut from the game like Jigglypuff. Here’s how players can find a Cloyster in Pokemon Sword & Shield.

The best way to capture this Pokemon is by bringing along a Pokemon with a status ailment move. This can range from paralysis to putting a Pokemon to sleep. Alternatively, players can use a Quick Ball at the start of a battle for the highest chance of capturing a Pokemon for the first time.

Pokemon Sword & Shield is the first entry in the series to receive paid DLC. The Pokemon Sword & Shield expansion pass breaks down its content into 2 parts. The first being the Isle of Armor, which is currently available now. The second part is the Crown Tundra, which is scheduled to release later this Fall. Both of these provide over 200 Pokemon from previous generations, two new wild areas to explore, and new legendary Pokemon to add to the trainer’s collection. The game continues to grow and evolve with the release of its new content.

Pokemon Sword & Shield is available now on the Nintendo Switch.
