Clauncher is a crustacean {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a bright blue {{wp|shrimp}}. It has three pairs of light gray legs; two pairs have simple blue spikes, while the foremost pair forms a larger set of claws. One claw forms a single, sharp point; and the other is much larger and forms a more traditional pincer, with a tiny yellow lower claw and a yellow circular pattern with two stripes on the back. Each front claw has a black stripe across the top. It has a pair of yellow antennae on top of its head, yellow eyes, and three pointed {{wp|Mandible (arthropod mouthpart)|mandibles}}. There are three black stripes along its back that separate its body into segments, and it has a light gray underside. Two black, rectangular fins form its tail. | Clauncher is a crustacean {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a bright blue {{wp|shrimp}}.

Clauncher's large claw gives it a poor sense of balance and makes it difficult to swim straight. Instead, it moves by firing compressed water from this claw. This is achieved through controlled expulsions of internal gas. Additionally, it uses this ability to shoot down flying prey and can shatter rock at close range. Occasionally, its claws will fall off, causing it to go into hiding until they grow back. The meat inside its claws is said to be delicious; however, it has a characteristic taste that is not universally loved. Clauncher's claws are a popular delicacy in places like [[Galar]] and [[Paldea]]. {{p|Dreepy}} is known to bite on Clauncher, although it does not actually feed on them. | Clauncher's large claw gives it a poor sense of balance and makes it difficult to swim straight.
