But if you speak to Professor Oak's assistant at the lookout station between Route #15 and Fuchsia City, he will give you the '''EXP. All''' if you've collected 50 different Pokémon. This rare item allows you to share experience points with Pokémon that don't fight in battle. | ||

Even a {{bp|Gyarados}} (appearing occasionally in [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Fuchsia City|Fuchsia City]]) in the Yellow version. | ||
Note that you ''can'' get a {{bp|Psyduck}} in Yellow... Just not by fishing. Use Surf to walk around in the pool at [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route_5-6|Route #6]], and one will appear. Shellder is one water Pokémon that you won't want to miss, but he's also hard to track down in Yellow. Try [[Pokémon Red and Blue/Route_16-18|Route #18]], just outside of Fuchsia. | Note that you ''can'' get a {{bp|Psyduck}} in Yellow... Just not by fishing.

At that third stage of evolution, they gain Fighting-type characteristics, but once again, their inability to learn any Fighting-type techniques makes this more of a liability than an asset. Certainly not one of the better Water-types. | ||

And like Poliwags, they gain a new type in the process: Ice. But very much unlike Poliwags, Shellders are worth using. They're incredibly strong on Defense and have a high enough Special to make use of their powerful Water and Ice attacks. Just don't use that Water Stone until at least level 30. | ||

The evolved form, {{bp|Starmie}}, has a really high Special, so it could make good use of its Psychic abilities... If it had any (besides Light Screen, that is). A good Pokémon, but only if you're willing to use a lot of TMs to teach it Psychic skills. Blue/Red players can catch their own in Routes #19 through #21. | ||
