Generation VII
Its claws occasionally fall off, and it keeps a low profile until they grow back. The meat of its claws is so delicious!
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 VIII
Clauncher’s claws can fall off during battle, but they’ll regenerate. The meat inside the claws is popular as a delicacy in Galar.
