Clauncher Pokédex entries

3 generations · newest first
Generation VIII2 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 VII2 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 VI2 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.
