Pokédex Entries for Clauncher

Generation 8 Pokédex Entries

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.

Generation 7 Pokédex Entries

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.

Generation 6 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.
