Description "Lives lazily by the sea. If the Shellder on its tail comes off, it becomes a Slowpoke again." - bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wik…

"Even though Shellder changes when it bonds with Slowpoke to become Slowbro or Slowking, it is not considered an evolution." - bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wik…

Name: Shellder (Slow Form)
Species: Bivalve Pokemon
Type: Water
Height: 3'04"
Weight: 84.9 lb
Ability: Shell Armor/Skill Link

So, this is a Shellder that, for whatever reason, has been removed from a Slowbro's tail.

This will be technically one of my "Fakemon".

It is not a Shellder evolution. It IS Shellder.

Imagine it as being a "Form" for Shellder. One in which it gets a major power boost.

A Slowbro that loses the Shellder on its tail will revert back to a Slowpoke, but a Shellder that is removed from a Slowbro will remain as it is. This.

It is far more heavier and larger than a Shellder, and has a pretty chunky boost to its stats.

I originally just wanted to sprite a Slowbro's Shellder, but decided to go a bit further and use it in the Mizou Region.

The method of receiving this type of Shellder is not entirely too complicated. You must have one free slot in your party, and are to take a Slowbro to a special hot spring in the Mizou Region.

Slowbro must be the first Pokémon in your party for this to work. The spring will relax Slowbro. The Shellder will loosen its grip on the Slowpoke's tail and slip off. "Slowbro" will return to its previous form.

This sprite was made completely from scratch, though the colors are from the sprite of Slowbro in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl.

Look at the second quote given in the artist's description.

I've been working on an identical system of alternate Shellder form evolution for a little while now. I look forward to seeing what his one evolves into. Mine is more like a hermit crab.

I always imagined the Slowpoke Tails from GSC could be actually 'found' as a random item in another game, and the player has the decision to give it back to the Slowpoke, or keep it and give it to the Shellder to evolve it

Its been rather strange that a Shellder would change shape upon biting the tail...

Maybe the 'Crowbar' would be the item?

Or, the 'Clamp'? 'Wrench'? Something of the sort?
