Clauncher Pokédex Entries

X, Omega Ruby:They knock down flying prey by firing compressed water from their massive claws like shooting a pistol.
Y, Alpha Sapphire:Through controlled explosions of internal gas, it can expel water like a pistol shot. At close distances, it can shatter rock.
Ultra Sun:Its claws occasionally fall off, and it keeps a low profile until they grow back. The meat of its claws is so delicious!
Ultra Moon:It moves around by jetting water from its right pincer. It has a poor sense of balance, so it’s terrible at swimming straight.
Sword:Clauncher’s claws can fall off during battle, but they’ll regenerate. The meat inside the claws is popular as a delicacy in Galar.
Shield:By detonating gas that accumulates in its right claw, this Pokémon launches water like a bullet. This is how Clauncher defeats its enemies.
Scarlet:This Pokémon launches water by detonating gas inside its right claw. It snipes flying Pokémon.
Violet:Clauncher’s claws will regrow if they fall off. The meat inside the claws is edible, but it has a distinct flavor that doesn’t appeal to all tastes.
