Battle[]

Despite its large HP and Defense, the Shell Shocker is an easy enemy to defeat. Its sole physical attack deals fractional damage equal to 31.25% of the character's current HP, meaning it cannot kill that character, although characters with at least 31,997 HP may take 9,999 damage. It becomes more dangerous when Oversouled as it gains the ability to use Demi and Slurp. While Demi cannot KO characters, Slurp can. Slurp also has the added effect of Itchy, which will force the affected character to change dresspheres. On the other hand, captured creatures are immune to this.

Creature Creator[]

Shell Shocker can be recruited into the party anytime during the game by setting up a Trap pod L in the Moonflow. It comes into the party having learned Ailment Def. and Total Limit Break and has extremely high HP and Defense even at low levels, making it one of the most powerful fiends that can be captured in Chapter 1.

If hit by a powerful attack, it can learn the Concherer's Gunk, which drains an enemy's MP to 0 and poisons them.

Fiend Tale[]

One notable Shell Shocker who was captured by the Gullwings constantly whines about lacking energy and motivation. It gets so obnoxious that Shinra finally marches the lazy snail up the Mi'ihen Highroad, intent on banishing the Shell Shocker to the Farplane. Viewing this Fiend Tale ending in full unlocks the Sleepy Sneaky team in the Fiend Arena.

Fiend Arena[]

The Shell Shocker is much stronger in the Fiend Arena, as it now has access to Meteor, which can be devastating to a low-leveled party. Fighting the Shell Shocker in the Fiend Arena repeatedly until it Oversouls and then fleeing can be useful when fighting Concherer in the Via Infinito to ensure that the latter is Oversouled when fought as a boss.
