# Shellder (Japanese) #p605969 — DP3: Shining Darkness

## Summary

Common is the whole story for Shellder in Japanese DP3: Shining Darkness, a bulk-tier slot with nothing chase about it, and the honest charm is the sleepy-eyed little clam itself, its tongue hanging out as it leans across a green meadow in the artwork. The set reached Japan in July 2007, months ahead of Secret Wonders, which carries the English Shellder. Japanese Shellder completists need this one, and it costs little. The modelled guide sits at $1.00; no PSA population is on file.
