Evolution Chart: How to Evolve Every Pokemon


Clauncher Best Nature for Story

Modest or Quiet

Nature Stat Changes
Modest ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Attack
Quiet ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Speed

Since Clauncher is a Slow Special Attacker, its best Nature is either Modest or Quiet to boost its Special Attack further, while reducing its Attack or Speed stat respectively.

Alternative Natures

Nature Stat Changes
Mild ↑ SpAtk, ↓ Defense
Rash ↑ Speed, ↓ SpDef

You can also give Clauncher either Mild or Rash nature, if you will mainly use it for Story Content.

Keep in mind that giving Clauncher any of the above two natures will increase the damage it receives, making it less ideal for Competitive Play and harder post-game content.

Use Mints to Change Natures

Mint Usage

If your Clauncher has a different Nature than the ones we recommend above, you can use a Mint to change its Nature.
