Trivia

  • Dragon Claw's description in-Bag, in Generation IV as a TM, differs from its descriptions on its user's attack listing, saying "Sharp, huge claws hook and slash the foe quickly and with great power." instead of "The user slashes the foe with huge, sharp claws."
  • Charizard, Aaken, and Archeos are the only non-Template:Type2s that can learn Dragon Claw by level up.
