Beyond the Ball 182 - Clawitzer

We're talking about Clauncher's evolved form, Clawitzer, this episode! But first, Braden watched the Mummy (1999) for their birthday so we can FINALLY talk about it! Oh and they got Pokemon Scarlet too and it's very good but also bad. But don't worry we'll get to the Howitzer of the Sea eventually (00:19:10)! Follow along with the entries below:

X: Their enormous claws launch cannonballs of water powerful enough to pierce tanker hulls.

Y: By expelling water from the nozzle in the back of its claw, it can move at a speed of 60 knots.

Ultra Sun: It compresses the water it has sucked up and then projects it with enough power to punch a hole right through a thick sheet of iron.

Ultra Moon: Its right arm is packed with meat. When its pincer falls off, it’s exported to be used as a cooking ingredient.

Sword: After using the feelers on its oversized claw to detect the location of prey, Clawitzer launches a cannonball of water at its target.

Shield: Clawitzer’s right arm is a cannon that launches projectiles made of seawater. Shots from a Clawitzer’s cannon arm can sink a tanker.

Scarlet: Clawitzer can move through the water at a speed of 60 knots by using gas inside its body to expel water from the back of its claw.

Violet: The cannonballs of seawater that Clawitzer launches from its claw are powerful enough to punch through tanker hulls.

BTB: An enormous cannon/jetpack attached to a redundant shrimp. It farts around at 69 MPH.

Photodex: Clawitzer are very territorial, and they are known to fight fiercely among each other. The cannonballs of water that they launch from their claws can break through walls and shatter big boulders.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Trophy info (NA): Clawitzer's right claw is so massive, we wouldn't be surprised if you thought it was this Pokémon's actual body. The name Howitzer Pokémon is no accident - it can pierce the hull of a ship with the watery cannonballs it fires. Unless you've got a water gun that can match that, we'd suggest skipping the water fight with this one.
