Appearances

Anime

Clamperl made its first appearance in Clamperl of Wisdom . It also appeared in The Evolutionary War .

Trivia

  • Clamperl is the only Pokémon that has a split evolution that evolves through trade.
  • Clamperl is much heavier than both of its evolution.

Etymology

  • Clamperl is a combination of clam (a bivalve) and pearl (a gemstone produced by shelled mollusks in response to sand inside their shells).
  • Its Japanese name, Pearlulu, is a portmanteau of pearl and lulu (slang for someone or something that is exceptional or remarkable). Lulu is can also be Arabic for pearl (لؤلؤ).

Origin

Clamperl is based on a clam (possibly a giant clam specifically) or oyster and the pearls that they form inside of their shells. Its evolutions being more fish-like Pokémon and its coloration being pink and yellow (for its normal and shiny colorations respectively) could also point to it being based off of roe, another term for fish eggs. The extensions around the main "pearl" head resemble a sea anemone, an animal that some fish species, particularly clownfish, lay their eggs around so that they are protected from predators due to the sea anemone's sting.
