The Min/Max values are calculated for a Pokémon at level 100. Maximum values are based on a beneficial nature, 252 EVs, 31 IVs. Minimum values are based on a hindering nature, 0 EVs, 0 IVs.
Tiers are calculated from the Pokémon with the highest available stat for that stat. Example: Blissey has the highest base HP at 255, so all tiers are divided by 6 from 255. Whereas the highest DEF is calculated from Shuckle at 230. This shows a better representation of where a Pokémon's base stat lies compared to the highest that stat can be. The length of the stat relative to the Tier also shows where it sits inside the Tier.

Pokédex entries:
Shellder
red-blue
Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
yellow
The shell can withstand any attack. However, when it is open, the tender body is exposed.
gold
It swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. It is surprisingly fast.
silver
Grains of sand trapped in its shells mix with its body fluids to form beautiful pearls.
crystal
Clamping on to an opponent reveals its vulnerable parts, so it uses this move only as a last resort.
ruby-sapphire
At night, this POKéMON uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the seafloor sand and then sleep in it. While it is sleeping, SHELLDER closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.
fire-red
It is encased in a shell that is harder than diamond. Inside, however, it is surprisingly tender.
leaf-green
Its hard shell repels any kind of attack. It is vulnerable only when its shell is open.
emerald
At night, it burrows a hole in the seafloor with its broad tongue to make a place to sleep. While asleep, it closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.

It swims backward by opening and closing its two shells. Its large tongue is always kept hanging out.
heart-gold

sun
The hardness of its shell surpasses the hardness of a diamond. In days gone by, people used the shells to make shields.
moon
This Pokémon’s tongue is always hanging out. It uses its tongue with great dexterity to dig up sand from the seabed in its search for food.
ultra-sun
The sand that accumulates inside its shell eventually becomes a pearl. But the pearl gets in the way, so it spits it out and discards it.
