In ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' there are only three Pearly Clamclamps in the main story, all of which reside in [[The Impact Site]], one contains the [[Positron Generator]] within its shell, while the other two have the usual pearl. When killed, they drop whatever they held in their gullet with natural pearls producing 50 Pikmin. When killed, the main body can still consume Pikmin, and is unable to picked up. Other Clamclamps are located in various [[Challenge Mode (Pikmin)|Challenge Mode levels]].
In ''Pikmin'', Pearly Clamclamps can't fully die, instead dropping their pearl or [[Ship part]] when their health reaching zero, while still having the ability to eat and kill Pikmin, while in ''Pikmin 4'', the creature itself will die. Interestingly, Clamclamps in ''Pikmin 4'' never appear with a non-treasure item inside.


In ''[[Pikmin 4]]'' Pearly Clamclamps appear in [[Serene Shores]]. In the main story three are found above ground. One contains a bulb of [[Flarlic]], another one contains the [[Ring-of-Return Shield]], and a third one holds the [[Princess Pearl]]. Another Clamclamp is located in the [[Engulfed Castle]] and has a [[castaway]] within. In [[Olimar's Shipwreck Tale]], another one is found in Serene Shores where the [[Dandori Battle]] cave is located usually, holding the [[Sagittarius]]. Unlike in ''[[Pikmin (game)|Pikmin]]'' the clam fully dies when its health is depleted, and both its innards and the shell can be carried.
