Analysis
Klawf is everyone's favorite crab Pokemon... unless you ignore Krabby and Kingler and Gigantamax Kingler and Crustle and Crabrawler and Crabominable and Mega Crabominable and... yeah.
Klawf is forgettable, to be honest. It doesn't do anything special or note-worthy in Pokemon Go, and is little more than a dex filler that has little to no potential in the future.
Offense
- Rock Throw and Rock Slide is the best moveset for Klawf.
- Mud Slap and Bulldoze can work if you're desperate for Ground damage, but it's not great.
- Rock Tomb falls behind.
Defense
- Mud Slap hits harder than Rock Throw by a small amount when taking STAB into consideration.
- Rock Slide is the hardest-hitting Charged attack that Klawf has to offer when factoring in STAB, and it's off-type with Mud Slap.
- Bulldoze is okay, but it leaves Klawf very easily walled out if combined with Mud Slap.
- Rock Tomb is Rock Slide, but worse for defense.
PvP
Even when taking STAB into consideration, Mud Slap out-performs Rock Throw in PvP due to the former's stronger energy gains. It can be paired with either Rock Tomb for Attack debuffs or Bulldoze for potential Defense debuffs, while Rock Slide has the best overall performance outside of debuffing.
Klawf has almost no worthwhile performance in the Great League.
