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. |
