Clauncher are Crustacean-esque Pokémon that are mainly cyan in colour. Their physique resembles that of a shrimp, prawn, lobster, or crayfish. Clauncher have two broad, yellow antennae atop their carapace (head segment). They have two chelae (crustacean claws); one chela does not form a pincer, and is instead, a sharp point and the other chela is signficantly larger, with two parts, forming a classic pincer. The lower part of this pincer is smaller, and yellow. They have black-grey stripes along the end of each abdominal segment, and around their chelae. They have small cyan legs that are curved and come to a point. Clauncher have a light grey underside, three pointy mouth-parts, round yellow eyes with a small, black pupil, and two small trapezium-shaped uropods (tail-parts) protruding from their lower abdomen. they have a horizontal line encompassing the front of its carapace, in line with its eyelids, up until a second ''vertical'' line that encompasses its carapace completely. They have light grey segments on the parts of legs and chelae closest to their body.

== Korean name for Clauncher ==
Its Korean name is 완철포 ''Wancheolpo''.
* 완철 ''wancheol'' sounds like the English word "launcher", but not quite. I'm not sure if this was intentional. I'll sort it out later. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 18:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
* 완(腕) ''wan'' means "forearm"
* 철포 ''cheolpo'' is from the Korean reading of 鉄砲, which is the (specifically?) Japanese word for "gun" (てっぽう ''teppō'')
: I also can't shake the feeling that 완철 ''wancheol'' was chosen because of its similar sound to 란처 ''ran'cheo'' ("launcher"). I mean, otherwise Pokemon Korea would have used 조총(鳥銃) instead... -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 20:08, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

:Yes, but it's Skrelp that'll be exclusive to Y, not Inkay. The other version exclusives known at this point are Swirlix in X / Spritzee in Y and, of course, Xerneas and Yveltal. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:49, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

Latest revision as of 23:35, 9 November 2013

It's based on a pistol shrimp. Glad I could help. - unsigned comment from Magic0loc0 (talkcontribs)

Origin

Like Magic0loc0 said, it's based off of a pistol shrimp (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheidae, 1369663462926.jpg). The asymmetrical claws, along with the Clauncher aspect of it's name make it definitely a source of inspiration, if not the only inspiration. Dakar (talk) 15:04, 12 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Trivia about the Water Gun Pokémon

Since Clauncher is classified as the Water Gun Pokémon, can someone add in the Trivia section that it is one of a few Pokémon whose species name in English is the same as the name of a move? --PKMNAdventurer (talk) 05:28, 13 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Physiology

For the physiology section, could the below statement, or something similar to it be added to the article please?

Clauncher are Crustacean-esque Pokémon that are mainly cyan in colour. Their physique resembles that of a shrimp, prawn, lobster, or crayfish. Clauncher have two broad, yellow antennae atop their carapace (head segment). They have two chelae (crustacean claws); one chela does not form a pincer, and is instead, a sharp point and the other chela is significantly larger, with two parts, forming a classic pincer. The lower part of this pincer is smaller, and yellow. They have black-grey stripes along the end of each abdominal segment, and around their chelae. They have small cyan legs that are curved and come to a point. Clauncher have a light grey underside, three pointy mouth-parts, round yellow eyes with a small, black pupil, and two small trapezium-shaped uropods (tail-parts) protruding from their lower abdomen. they have a horizontal line encompassing the front of its carapace, in line with its eyelids, up until a second vertical line that encompasses its carapace completely.

EV Yield

I caught a Clauncher with a newly hatched Honedge in my party, used a reset bag immediately after, and SpA went down by 1. That should be the base EV yield, shouldn't it? Gadvac (talk) 23:24, 9 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

I believe so. I'll go ahead and add it. Good research. --Wynd Fox 23:35, 9 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
