How to Build a Competitive Clawitzer Team | VGC Strategy
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are collaborating to optimize Clawitzer for competitive play. This discussion explores the potential of the Mega Launcher ability, focusing on synergies like Heal Pulse support for bulky teammates and Water Pulse damage in rain. The community is actively testing Trick Room and Tailwind team compositions to unlock this Pokémon's hidden potential in the current VGC meta.
Ive noticed some serious potential with Clawitzer and i seriously think it could work really well. Im kind of new though and i suck at team building so i really need help here. Clawitzer had the Mega Launcher abiliyy which boosts pulse moves by 50% (aura sphere also counts for some reason-not that im complaining). Clawitzer learns a load of good coverage moves that are pulse attacks like dragon pulse, stab boosted water pulse, dark pulse,…so i really do think it could dish out some serious damage. What interests me most is that heal pulse is also affected, meaning it heals freaking 3/4 of max HP!! Somone please help me i really really wanna make this work
I thought of using clawitzer in rain to further boost its stab attack water pulse
i had a combo in mind about drizzle pelipper with helping hand + water pulse clawitzer holding sash/scarf/mystic water
Though im not sure if this would work cause like i said im bad at these stuff
Im not sure if i should even be using water pulse
Anyways, even if that combo doesnt work, im very sure other combos would work, and clawitzer has alot of untapped potential in my opinion and i rlly wanna use it
Something else i also had in mind was using heal pulse to make bulky archaludon in rain even bulkier with that 3/4 max hp healing
Once again, im not sure if these would work. However im sure Clawitzer in the hands of any decent team builder would be really good

Somone told me it kind of has an awkward speed stat
But its speed is in a position where it works fine both in trick room and tailwind in my opinion
The 2 teams im currently trying to use clawitzer on are both tr
the rain one is more neiche

Yess as long as it works
Thanks
the usual lead is staraptor + slowbro
for the rain team
with clawitzer and drampa in the back
right, i see
you wanna final gambit someone with straptor and setup trick room
Yeah i thought so
What would be the better team out of the 2 teams, in ur opinion?
the rain one
if you want to use clawitzer
Yeah
Prolly
its just not too used on the other one
Life orb dark pulse / water pulse / aura sphere / protect
Max HP max + atk -speed
Best set for it
alr
wait
isnt clawitzer a special atker
heal pulse over protect imo
yeah
prob a typo
I think so too
No way it isn't as bulky as possible
People think
its not supposed to stick around forever
3/4 max hp seems too good to pass imo
its part support
with the best 1 turn healing in the game
Would it be ok if i used slowking instead of slowbro
I have slowking but not slowbro
the difference prob isnt too much
one is more physically bulky while the other is specially
literally thats all
