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. 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.
There are only certain places where these creatures can be found:
Three of them are in the Impact Site. One is submerged in water. One of them has the Positron Generator.
Some are in Challenge Mode (Pikmin 1) in specific hard to reach places.
Locations
These are the locations of the Pearly Clamclamp in Challenge Mode:
- The Forest of Hope: one where the Radiation Canopy is in the main game, and another where the Burrowing Snagrets are in the main game.
- The Forest Navel: where the Libra is found.
- The Distant Spring: where the Massage Machine is, where the Gluon Drive is, and where the Chronos Reactor is.
