Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Red / BlueThe SHELLDER that is latched onto SLOWPOKE's tail is said to feed on the host's left over scraps.
YellowLives lazily by the sea. If the SHELLDER on its tail comes off, it becomes a SLOWPOKE again.
GoldIf the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordi­ nary SLOWPOKE.
SilverNaturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER's seeping poison.
CrystalAn attached SHELLDER won't let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.
Ruby / SapphireSLOWBRO’s tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes SLOWBRO to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
EmeraldIts tail has a SHELLDER firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This forces it to reluctantly swim and catch prey.
FireRedWhen a SLOWPOKE went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a SHELLDER. That made it evolve into SLOWBRO.
LeafGreenThe SHELLDER that latches onto SLOWPOKE’s tail is said to feed on the host’s leftover scraps.
Diamond / Pearl / PlatinumThough usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the SHELLDER on its tail bites down.
HeartGoldIf the tail-biting SHELLDER is thrown off in a harsh battle, it reverts to being an ordinary SLOWPOKE.
SoulSilverNaturally dull to begin with, it lost its ability to feel pain due to SHELLDER’s seeping poison.
Black / White / Black 2 / White 2Though usually dim witted, it seems to become inspired if the Shellder on its tail bites down.
XAn attached Shellder won’t let go because of the tasty flavor that oozes out of its tail.
YWhen a Slowpoke went hunting in the sea, its tail was bitten by a Shellder. That made it evolve into Slowbro.
Omega Ruby / Alpha SapphireSlowbro’s tail has a Shellder firmly attached with a bite. As a result, the tail can’t be used for fishing anymore. This causes Slowbro to grudgingly swim and catch prey instead.
SunIt spaces out while gazing at the sea. With Shellder’s poison flowing through its body, it becomes even spacier.
MoonWhenever Shellder bites down hard on its tail, it gives Slowbro a flash of inspiration...which it forgets a moment later.
Ultra SunSpacing out is basically all it does. It turns back into Slowpoke if its tail, along with Shellder, breaks off.
Ultra MoonShellder, in its greed to suck out more and more sweetness from Slowbro’s tail, has metamorphosed into a spiral-shaped shell.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
