You can find Shellder commonly in Route 21, Vermilion City, Cinnabar Island, Olivine City, and Seafoam Islands. You will need to fish in the bodies of water to encounter it in the wild.

Only in Fire Red,xd and gold/silver/crystal Fire Red: Shellder is common at One Island, Five Island, and Vermillion City. XD: Only one, capture from Cipher Peon Gorog in Cipher Key Lair. Information from the Pokemon Pocket Pokedex book. shellder is at vermillion city and olivine at the docks.
Shellder is a version exclusive Pokemon only found in Fire red. But, Instead of Shellder, you can get Slowpoke, if you use a good rod in the Vermillion city harbor.
Shellder can't be found in the wild in Pokemon leaf green, you would have to trade it from fire red.
Sorry to say, but you can't catch Cloyster. You have to catch a Shellder with a Water Stone. You can catch a Shellder by fishing in Olivine City (SS Aqua Entrance), Vermillion City, Cinnabar Island, Seafoam Island and on Route 21.
You can find shellder at rout 26.I'm pretty sure your going to need a super rod so if you don't have one you can get it from this one fisher dude somewhere between routs 15 and 14. I'm pretty sure that shellder comes out at any time of the day but if that's not true then it for sure 100% comes out at night :)
