Be sure you go on a new character or go back in time. You may also need to kill the level 1 critters (non battle pet) for battle pets to spawn.

You need to go to the past to get one of these little dudes now. If you're in current time line, you just get hermit crabs spawning.

On one pass I managed to catch 3 rare snails (Two H/P and one B/B, levels 3-6) in about 15 minutes. I didn't see many H/H, and regret releasing my Uncommon H/H to catch the third rare (I thought it was an H/H but it turned out to be H/P). So these seem to be plentiful and easy to find rares...

So I have an HP shimmershell, yet when I scroll through the possible breeds, it's only showing HH and BB. Same sort of thing is happening with the Rapana Whelk, and several other snails. Anyone know what the deal with that is?

@Kestrelon they are. Pets during Lift-Off or Proto-Strike can be reached by opponent performing the same. Of course a pet suspended in the skies won't reach the one hidden underground and the other way around. (Forgive a cheap rhyme!)

 

Even if you don't battle a lot, for the unique numbers themselves you'd keep an H/P one. Leave the H/H stats to Scooter the Snail.

Just takes patience on this one! Got mine around 44.0 , 19.0 after about 3-4 hours of pet battling up and down the Darkshore coast. I came across a level 3 rare blue finally.

Found lvl 3 B/B rare at 38, 33 after reading comments and logging out and logging back in after spending hours doing sweeps top to bottom. I think this middle area is key.

Very interesting occurence I thought I'd share, discovered while I was looking to tame one of these;  if two opposing pets have an underground avoid and use it at the same time (ie, the Water Snake's  "Burrow"...and the Shimmershell's  "Dive"), the combat round will continue as if nothing happened!

 

My snake burrowed, the snail dove, and the snake moved in for a normal attack! Could come in handy...and it makes me wonder if the airborne versions are the same!

Best breed of H and P:

(Let's be honest, no one gives a f*** about a snail's S)

 

•Alongside Scooter, this snail has the best of both snail worlds that really matter. Even when it comes to P, a snail will not be a big hitter. It's all about their H, and at 1969, its among the top 10 of most healthful pets. Coupled with Shell Shield and Dive, its longevity during battled is significantly increased.

@ Gawd: Only the H/H breed has that much health, and based on the info you gave, you have the H/P variant.

 

Fortunately, you're probably better off with that anyway. H/P has less health, but its Absorb will heal for more, its Shell Shield will stop more damage, and, of course, it'll hit harder overall.

 

Having the H/P breed probably makes this guy better than the Rapana Whelk, albeit requiring more of a time investment.

Only snail with a P breed of any kind, and its HP to be exact. This will be good against the whispering spirit.

At lvl 25 my rare blue is only 1790...Not the 1900.  Any ideas how they get that high?

After a few battles, I found a rare as a secondary to another shimmershell snail. It was a level 6, so looks like that is the lucky number. I found it along the shore next to Remtravel's Excavation site. =D

At level 10, my shimmershell snail matches up with the 6,16 breed.  I'll update once I get it to level 25 to see if it has 1969 health.

Has anyone here got the max health (6,16) breed?

 

I've fought over 50 of them so far and haven't see it once... starting to wonder if this is a mistake.
