No. 693: Clawitzer

"I want to make a Pokemon that's a crustacean with a big claw"
"Okay well we already have like three of those so - "
"No you don't get it. I mean a BIG claw."
"How big are we talking here."

There was a time in the design for this guy, where they clearly passed the point of "this claw is too big". But they said screw it, and kept going just to see what would happen. And what happened was glorious.

The body itself has almost atrophied, but that claw is so badass it grew its own antenna and has a mouth like a dragon and is probably sentient. But all it knows how to do is wreck faces.

Seriously, I love this guy. Also, Mega Launcher is a fun ability because it makes those non-STAB moves just as good as if they were STAB. So no matter who shows up to play, you can make them sorry they decided to play against a shrimp with a giant freaking howitzer gun of a claw.


Overall: 10/10
