Clauncher (Japanese: ウデッポウ Udeppō) is a Water-type Pokémon.

It evolves into Clawitzer starting at level 37.

Biology

Clauncher are Crustacean Pokémon that are mainly cyan in color. Clauncher have two yellow antennae atop their head. They have two claws. One claw forms a single, sharp point, while the other is significantly larger, with two parts, forming a classic pincer. The lower part of this pincer is smaller and yellow. They have black-grey stripes along the end of each abdominal segment and around their claws. They have four small cyan legs that are curved and come to a point. Clauncher have a light grey underside, three pointed mouthparts, round yellow eyes with a small, black pupil, and two small trapezium-shaped tail-parts protruding from their lower abdomen. They have a horizontal line encompassing the front of its carapace, in line with its eyelids, up until a second vertical line that encompasses its carapace completely. They have light grey segments on the parts of their legs and claws closest to their body.
