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. Also, sometimes when you call back your Pikmin, the membrane will continue to be damaged slightly. If a Clamclamp's membrane is nearly destroyed, and you call your Pikmin back, the pearl might release itself anyway because of some kind of glitch or possible some kind of remaining damage. 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]].

The Pearly Clamclamp is an enemy in the Pikmin 1 game. This large 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. Also, sometimes when you call back your Pikmin, the membrane will continue to be damaged slightly. If a Clamclamp's membrane is nearly destroyed, and you call your Pikmin back, the pearl might release itself anyway because of some kind of glitch or possibly some kind of remaining damage. 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 rocks 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.
