Shellos is pure Water type, but gains the Ground type when it evolves.

13.

Shellos has Storm Drain, which was useless in Gen 4 outside of double battles, but got buffed in Gen 5.

 

[ReKoil]

14.

Between it's two forms I prefer the pink one visually.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

15.

I like both forms equally.

 

[ReKoil]

16.

In Galar you could only catch East Sea Shellos & Gastrodon and had to transfer it in if you wanted a West Sea Shellos/Gastrodon.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

17.

I've got plushies of both forms.

 

[ReKoil]

18.

It evolves at level 30.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Gastrodon is a nice substitute for Swampert. Even has more special attack.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

12.

I think Gastrodon is cute.

13.

Cynthia had a Gastrodon in Diamond & Pearl, but it got swapped out with Togikiss in Platinum.

 

[ReKoil]

14

She has a Storm Drain Gastrodon in BDSP that she will switch in if you use a Water attack twice in a row.

 

[Rock_Salazar]

15.

Gastrodon has a high HP stat that compliments its special defense. Perfect since a lot of grass moves are special. Not too much its regular defense.

 

[ReKoil]

16.

It can learn Sludge Bomb.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

17.

It can learn Recover.

 

[ReKoil]

18.

It can learn Skitter Smack at the Isle of Armor Move Tutor.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

19.

Its line was intended for Gen 3.

 

[Rock_Salazar]

20.

Gastrodon gains sand force in gen 5 as a hidden ability. Also in gen 5 the pokemon's usage skyrocketed.

 

[FeraligatrMaster]

Gastrodon is safe. Ambipom is next.

11.

Ambipom is just there for me.
