How to Get Shoal Shells in "Ruby"
In “Pokemon Ruby,” the Shell Bell is an item that gradually restores your Pokemon’s health during battle. While this item is useful, you won’t find it for sale in PokeMarts; instead, you’ll need to collect the ingredients for the item from Shoal Cave in eastern Hoenn. The item requires that you collect four Shoal Salts and four Shoal Shells -- the latter of which you can only obtain during high tide.
