How soon can I get a Cloyster in Shining Pearl? - Selective-focus Photography of Bracelet Lot

Cloyster was not in the original Gen IV pokedex, but it is now available in the remakes.

Looking at datamining sites, I found these capture locations for its pre-evolution (Shellder):

Location Method Level
Route 205 - South Super Rod 20 - 40
Valley Windworks Super Rod 20 - 40
Fuego Ironworks Super Rod 20 - 40
Grand Underground - Fountainspring Cave Underground 58 - 63
Grand Underground - Riverbank Cave Underground 58 - 63
Grand Underground - Still-Water Cavern Underground 58 - 63

It seems that the Super Rod can only be obtained after defeating the Elite Four.

So, is that the soonest I can get a Cloyster or is there any other way to get one?
