Another interesting detail is that as the Clampearl evolves its shell becomes part of its body, like a breastplate in Gorebyss and like a headdress-fin on Huntail's head.
This would also explain the symbiotic relationship Shellder-Slowpoke, where Shellder gains motility on land and protection from predators.
