Trivia

In FireRed and LeafGreen, Charmander's evolutionary line were capable of learning Metal Claw by leveling up. However, they are unable to do so in later generations, other than via breeding. This may be to give players who choose Charmander as their first partner an advantage over the first Gym.
- Furthermore, in Generation IX, Charmeleon and Charizard are unable to learn Metal Claw via TM, while Charmander can.
Metal Claw is the only move with base PP of 35 not introduced in Generation I.

+In Pokémon UNITE, Metal Claw is {{p|Duraludon}}'s second move. The user sends sharp claws forward; dealing damage to enemies hit and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. After this move is used, the user's next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. After reaching level 7, this move is replaced by either {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
