Strategy Overview
Possessing a high Special Attack stat in combination with a great ability in Mega Launcher, Clawitzer is able to hit extremely hard. Its access to coverage moves in Dark Pulse and Aura Sphere solidifies Clawitzer's role as a wallbreaker, letting it hit a huge portion of the metagame for great damage. Clawitzer also has access to a slow U-turn and forces a lot of switches, allowing it to safely bring in teammates. However, Clawitzer is held back by the abundance of excellent Grass-types in the tier such as Whimsicott, Decidueye, and Sceptile. Moreover, its low Speed stat leaves it vulnerable to most faster powerful attackers in the tier, especially because its bulk is rather average. Clawitzer also faces competition from other Water-types in Samurott and Blastoise, which both sport a better Speed tier, outspeeding Pokemon like Omastar. Samurott also can bluff physical sets and pull off a mixed set, while Blastoise provides immense team support thanks to Rapid Spin and Refresh.
