==Biology==
==Biology==
Clauncher is a cyan crustacean Pokémon with two yellow antennae atop its head. It has 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. It has black-grey stripes along the end of each abdominal segment and around its claws. It has four small cyan legs that are curved and come to a point. Clauncher has a light grey underside, three pointed mouthparts, round yellow eyes with a small, black pupil, and two small trapezoid tail-parts protruding from its lower abdomen. A horizontal line encompasses the front of its carapace, in line with its eyelids, up until a second vertical line that encompasses its carapace completely. It has light grey segments on the parts of its legs and claws closest to its body. Clauncher uses its larger claw to shoot compressed water like a pistol shot at its prey. Up close, the compressed water can shatter rocks.
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'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 the claws 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; this is said to be a behavior carried over from when it was alive.
 
From [[Generation VIII]] onward, Clauncher and its evolved form, {{p|Clawitzer}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Mega Launcher}} as an [[Ability]].
 
===Evolution===
Clauncher evolves into {{p|Clawitzer}}.
 
(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===Other===
Clauncher debuted in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', under the ownership of [[Rodman]]. It was originally {{pkmn2|caught}} for the purpose of entertaining guests at the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Ambrette Aquarium}}, but it did not like that responsibility and became lazy and unfriendly towards others. Its behavior eventually improved after it helped save [[Clemont's Dedenne]] from {{TRT}} after [[Ash's Pikachu]] destroyed their submarine.

Clauncher and its evolution Clawitzer's Shiny Forms are in reference to the fact that lobsters can rarely be found blue rather than red, with Clawitzer and Clauncher being the opposite.

Clauncher (Japanese: ウデッポウ Udeppou) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves into Clawitzer starting at level 37.

Biology

Clauncher is a crustacean Pokémon that resembles a bright blue 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 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'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 the claws 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. Dreepy is known to bite on Clauncher, although it does not actually feed on them; this is said to be a behavior carried over from when it was alive.

From Generation VIII onward, Clauncher and its evolved form, Clawitzer, are the only known Pokémon that can have Mega Launcher as an Ability.

Major appearances

Misty's Clauncher

Misty caught a Clauncher in A Fated Face-Off!.

Other

Clauncher debuted in Going for the Gold!, under the ownership of Rodman. It was originally caught for the purpose of entertaining guests at the Ambrette Aquarium, but it did not like that responsibility and became lazy and unfriendly towards others. Its behavior eventually improved after it helped save Clemont's Dedenne from Team Rocket after Ash's Pikachu destroyed their submarine.

Trivia

Origin

Seeing as how it fires water from its claw, Clauncher is likely based on a pistol shrimp. Its blue color scheme may be based on the Procambarus alleni, though it may also be a reference to mutated American lobsters.

Name origin

Clauncher may be a combination of claw and launcher.

Udeppou may be a combination of 水鉄砲 mizudeppou (water gun) and 腕 ude (arm).
