It swamps the entire battlefield with a giant wave. It can also be used for crossing water.
Cloyster has a spiky shell, which is used to protect its soft insides from foes. Its "head", and face resemble a black pearl.
Cloyster has strong defenses, and moderate offenses, both thanks to its sturdy shell. It fights by clamping its shell tightly shut while launching spikes from its shell to strike opponents.
Cloyster is a clever, and sneaky Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey shooting with spikes. It fights roughly because of the hostile nature of its habitat, and the protection of its shell, allowing it to withstand physical blows easily.
Cloyster lives deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral, and rocks.
(Unconfirmed!)
It appears to be based off of a bivalve with a black pearl as its head.
Cloyster's name may be a combination of "cloister", to seclude or shelter oneself, and "oyster". It could also be a combination of "clam", and "oyster".
