Evolution

Actualy Lapras has 2x pre-evos... This is Karanakushi evo and Lapras pre-evo http://pokeguide.filb.de/dpicons/423.gif Densus 00:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

I doubt either are related to Lapras. There are also 2 other ones at the end, different colors. Who knows. DanPMK 05:56, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're both known as Sea Slug pokemon, therefore Karanakushi probably becomes Toritodon and not Lapras....—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pokemega32 (talk • contribs) 18:39, 27 September 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Ruby and Sapphire

The claim that Shellos and Gastrodon were originally going to be in Ruby and Sapphire was in a recent issue of Nintendo Power. Can't remember which one though, and I'm too lazy to hunt for a magaine at this time of night. -- ~PinkDeoxys~ 04:05, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Third forms discovered!

This may have been known for a while, but not until now have I actually been interested. My brother claims he actually found the alternate Shellos outside the Valley Windworks while training his Buizel a while back. He mentioned it to me, who, at the time, didn't know about the third forms, and I told him to catch it because I realized that it was the Eastern Shellos with the Western's coloring (which, according to a sprite sheet I later saw on Serebii.net, is how these "third forms" appear when fought). He instead killed it for Experience Points for his Buizel. Then I forgot about it and learned about the alternate forms.

Just now, he reminded me he'd seen a third form of Shellos and that he saw its sprite on PokemonElite2000 as the second frame. I looked it up, and sure enough, the second male frames for Shellos and Gastrodon are, in fact, the front sprites for these betas, just as I saw them on Serebii.net -- the Eastern forms with the Western coloring. Don't believe me? Check for yourself.

If my brother did actually find this third form of Shellos, it was likely a fluke or a glitch, but this could very well be a revolution for the world of Shellos and Gastrodon. These third forms could very well be catchable. Thank you for your time. I hope that these "third" front and back sprites found in the coding can be mentioned in the article.

It's a shiny pokemon

No, shiny Shellos don't trade colors the way the Nidos do. A shiny west Shellos (pink) is just lighter pink and a shiny east Shellos (blue) is just lighter blue.—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 16:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is indeed a 3rd form programmed into the game, though it appears to be a beta leftover. It'd be interesting if you find a way for it to be encountered. I compiled images of them here. DanPMK 21:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. Wtf is wit that third Gastrodon? o__o

Maybe these are for what a Shellos in Johto is like...if they remake GSC...—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 22:07, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
