Strategy Overview

Clawitzer is one of the best wallbreakers in RU thanks in part to its high base 120 Special Attack. While it does face some competition as a special Water-type wallbreaker from the faster Samurott, Clawitzer makes up for this with Mega Launcher and a wide range of coverage moves such as Aura Sphere and Dark Pulse. It also has decent bulk for a wallbreaker, allowing it to take some hits if need be and retaliate with a strong attack. On the downside, Clawitzer is slow, making it an easier target for faster bulky Pokemon such as Rotom-C. Additionally, its lack of recovery and susceptibility to all forms of entry hazards and Life Orb recoil make Clawitzer easy to be revenge killed in a weakened state.
