Using it in a run

Cloyster spreads 525 base stat points. Its strongest stat is Defense (180) and its weakest is Special Defense (45), so the role that fits depends on how the rest of the run covers that gap.

Under the game's real multipliers it takes increased damage from Electric, Fighting and Grass. It resists Water and Ice in return. Use that to decide when to circle and when to leave, not to pick a favourite.

Its level-up learnset lists 18 moves; the hardest-hitting is Hydro Pump at 110 power, available at level 1. That is the point where its damage actually changes.
