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.
