How to Evolve Shellder into Cloyster in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet
Just like many other Pokémon, like Kirlia’s male-exclusive evolution Gallade, after finding a Shellder in either Pokémon Scarlet or Violet you can evolve them into a Cloyster by making use of a Water Stone. More specifically, you can evolve your Shellder into a Cloyster by simply opening your bag, selecting the Water Stone, and then using it on your Shellder, which will automatically evolve them. If you still have not unlocked the ability to buy the stone on the many Delibird Presents, you can find Water Stone all over Paldea, especially on shores and other areas close to the sea.
