Clawitzer (Japanese: ブロスター Bloster) is a Water-type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.
It evolves from Clauncher starting at level 37.
Biology
Clawitzer is a crustacean Pokémon that resembles a bright blue shrimp. Its body is divided into several segments by black ridges and there are three small spikes behind its head. It has semicircular, yellow eyes, a black stripe across its face, and three pointed mandibles. Its tail consists of three rectangular fins: two black ones and one bright blue one. It lacks legs but has two clawed arms. The left claw is smaller and is dark blue with a black stripe along the back and a yellow tip. The right claw is a pincer larger than Clawitzer's body. The pincer is dark blue with a pair of thin, yellow antennae on top, three overlapping segments with a black stripe along the back edge, and four black spikes attached to the back of the last segment. The movable lower portion of the pincer is yellow.
Clawitzer's massive claw can suck up water and launch compressed cannonballs capable of piercing tanker hulls. Water can also be expelled from the nozzle on the back, which allows it to travel at speeds up to 60 knots. The feelers on Clawitzer's claws can detect the location of its prey. Its massive claw is packed with meat, which can be used as a cooking ingredient.
In the anime
Major appearances
Clawitzer made its main series debut in A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!, under the ownership of Sawyer. It was used in a battle against Ash and was able to defeat Noivern and Hawlucha before losing to Greninja. It reappeared in Analysis Versus Passion!, where it defeated Talonflame during another battle against Ash before losing to Pikachu.
A Clawitzer appeared in XYS06, where Bonnie hooked onto it while fishing, and it subsequently attacked her. However, Cilan sent out Stunfisk to protect Bonnie.
A Clawitzer appeared in A Festival Reunion!, under the ownership of Lob. It was used to battle Ash and Pikachu in the World Coronation Series, but it was defeated.
Minor appearances
Clawitzer debuted in Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction.
A Trainer's Clawitzer appeared in Battle Royal 151!, where it competed in the Battle Royal preliminary round of the Manalo Conference but was defeated by Pikachu.

Other appearances
Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
Clawitzer makes a cameo appearance in the Kalos Pokémon League stage. When the stage transitions to the Flood Chamber, it can be seen in the background along with Blastoise, Wailord, and Piplup.
Trophy information
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.
PAL: Clawitzer's right claw is so enormous, you might mistake that for its body. As implied by the fact that it's the Howitzer Pokémon, that giant claw launches cannonballs (albeit water ones) with terrifying force. If you come at it with a water pistol, you'll find yourself more than a little outmatched. Clawitzer's blasts can pierce tanker hulls!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Clawitzer returns in the background of the Kalos Pokémon League stage.

Trivia
Origin
Clawitzer appears to be based on a pistol shrimp, with its oversized claw and its ability to expel powerful blasts of water from its claw. Its deep blue coloration may be based upon Procambarus alleni, though it may also be a reference to mutated American lobsters. Its curved body is often seen in real-world shrimps and prawns, typically when moulting or cleaning.
Name origin
Clawitzer is a combination of claw and howitzer.
Bloster may be a combination of blow, lobster, and blaster. It is also an anagram of lobster.
