Pokedex descriptions

Red/Blue When attacked, it launches its horns in quick volleys. Its innards have never been seen.

Gold Once it slams its shell shut, it is impossible to open, even by those with superior strength.
Silver CLOYSTER that live in seas with harsh tidal currents grow large, sharp spikes on their shells.
Crystal Even a missile can't break the spikes it uses to stab opponents. They're even harder than its shell.
