Field Notes ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

The journal entry writes itself: approach a Clampip and it snaps its shell closed before you can finish raising the net. The community record is blunt about the temperament — anglers consider prying one open harder than catching one, because the creature simply waits you out. Its whole survival strategy is refusal, and the strategy evidently works: it holds out until it evolves into Clamwhirl. The observed form matches the classic bivalve build — hinged shell, soft body kept out of sight, and no urgency whatsoever.

Standard catalogue lines apply: SSS rarity, community rank E, any-weather spawning, and a level cap of 90. This specimen carries no EM slot, and no possible traits have been documented for it yet — the entry is, fittingly for a closed shell, still keeping a few things to itself.

Base Stats & Battle Role ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

Clampip's community-verified base stats read HP 43, Attack 45, Defense 51, Special Attack 41, Special Defense 39, and Speed 37, for a total of 256. The spread confirms what the shell implies: Defense at 51 is comfortably its best number, while Speed at 37 is its worst — this creature does not dodge, it endures. Note that Special Defense (39) lags well behind its physical Defense, so special attackers pry it open far more efficiently than physical ones ever will. A 256 total marks Clampip as an early-game specimen and an evolution stepping-stone rather than a finished battler. Typing does the rest of the work: as a pure Water-type it strikes Fire, Ground, and Rock super-effectively, resists incoming Fire and Steel damage, and should be pulled back the moment Grass or Electric opposition surfaces.

Evolution & Where to Find ✎ Observed (cross-referenced)

Clampip is documented at a single location: Petal Pond, where it spawns under any weather with no special condition recorded. It is a base-stage form with no pre-evolution, and its next stage, Clamwhirl, is obtainable only by evolving Clampip — Clamwhirl's own catch location is recorded as "Via Evo". The documented method for Water-type evolutions is the Water Element Stone, which the community stone records apply to the element as a whole. Stones are stocked in shops, turn up in chests, and are handed out through redeem codes, so checking the active codes list before spending coins is the frugal naturalist's route. For the catch itself, standard balls work; if the shut-tight temperament is testing your patience, the Advance Ball guarantees the capture at a 100% rate — a fair trade against a creature whose one talent is outlasting you.
