How to Get Rare Pearls in Pokemon

The pearl item can be found in most of the Pokémon video games for the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS. Its only function is to be sold to shops. By doing this, you will receive 700 Pokémon dollars to use in the game's various shops. Pearls can be found in a variety of places in each game, including in shops and in the clutches of wild Pokémon.

  Defeat the Pokémon if it is a Shellder (Cloysters are also acceptable if you are playing Black or White), or run away if it is anything else. Capture any Shellders (or Cloysters) you encounter.

  Open your list of current Pokémon and select the newly captured Shellder or Cloyster. Check to see if they are holding a pearl by accessing the in-game menu and viewing each such Pokémon's statistics. Remove the pearl from any Shellders or Cloysters that are holding them. Feel free to then release or keep the Pokémon. If the new Pokémon is not holding a pearl, continue fishing and capturing Pokémon until you find one that is.
