The '''Pearly Clamclamp''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin 1]] game. This large [[Wikipedia:bivalve|bivalve]] has a pinkish shell and a small pearl surrounded by a clear blue membrane. When Pikmin are thrown on it, which is a grueling task, they will attack the membrane to reveal the pearl, but meanwhile the Clamclamp will stretch its mouth wide open, creaking like a poorly-oiled hinge, and chomp | The '''Pearly Clamclamp''' is an enemy in the [[Pikmin 1]] game.

When Pikmin are thrown on it, which is a grueling task, they will attack the membrane to reveal the pearl, but meanwhile the Clamclamp will stretch its mouth wide open, creaking like a poorly-oiled hinge, and chomp. When it does this, you need to have excellent timing and call the Pikmin so they won't be eaten. This is obviously a very simple predatory tactic for the creature. You will have to sum up the remaining skill in you to destroy the membrane and get the 50 Pikmin prize without losing any Pikmin. If the Clamclamp is on land, two [[bomb rock]]s can also be used for a quick and easy kill. This creature is one of the two second leading creatures in Pikmin production, succeeded by the [[Smoky Progg]] (100 Pikmin) and tied by the [[Armored Cannon Beetle]]. | ||
