Where to find Cloyster

Cloyster is not a wild encounter on any of the standard maps.

Cloyster can hatch from a Frozen Egg. Now and then an encounter on a map turns up an egg instead of a wild Pokémon, and which eggs a map can drop depends on its types. The Frozen Egg can drop on Frozen Cave, River Rafting, Lava Beach, and 0* Temperature. Put the egg in an incubator to hatch it. See crafting and incubation.
