Kleavor Splinters
The user swings its stone axes at the target. Stone splinters left behind by this attack float around the target.
Pokémon	Method
User	First Used In		Notes
	Kleavor raises its stone axes, which start to glow orange. Its body then becomes covered in a dark orange aura, and it slams its axes into the ground, creating a cluster of jagged dark purple stone pillars in front of Kleavor. Stone splinters are then fired from the cluster at the opponent. After striking the opponent, the splinters float around them and turn invisible. If the opponent makes contact with the floating splinters, the splinters turn visible again and the opponent gets hurt.
