Crush Claw

Normal

Summary

Crush Claw is a Normal-type move with 75 power and 95% accuracy. It has a 50% chance of lowering the target's Defense by one stage. Introduced in Generation III, Crush Claw is notably associated with the Pokémon Zangoose, who learns it as a signature move. The move's combination of decent power and the high probability of lowering the opponent's Defense makes it a strategic choice for weakening foes and setting them up for subsequent attacks. Despite its Normal type, Crush Claw's ability to debilitate the defense of opponents provides an edge in battles by reducing their capacity to withstand subsequent hits.
