Learn how to defeat Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan, in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. Get tips on recommended Pokemon, weaknesses, and strategies for both fights.
Alright, let's get you ready to take on Klawf, the Stony Cliff Titan! This big Rock-type Pokémon can be a bit of a challenge, but with the right team and strategy, you'll have it beat in no time. We'll cover the best Pokémon to bring, Klawf's attacks, and how to handle both phases of the fight.
Stats / Weaknesses:
- Type: Rock
- Weaknesses: Grass, Water
- Resistances: Normal, Fire, Poison, Flying
- Attacks to Watch Out For: Vise Grip (deals damage), Rock Tomb (lowers Speed), Rock Smash (lowers Defense), Anger Shell (activates below 50% HP, boosts Attack, Sp. Atk, Speed, lowers Defense).
Recommended Pokémon:
- Grass Types: Sprigatito (if you chose it), Sunkern, Hoppip, Skiddo, Shroomish
- Water Types: Quaxly (if you chose it), Psyduck, Magikarp
- Other Good Options: Diglett (Ground), Makuhita (Fighting)
Strategy:
- Focus on using moves that are super-effective against Rock-types, like Grass or Water attacks.
- If you have Pokémon like Hoppip, consider using Sleep Powder to get some free hits in.
- Skiddo's Leech Seed or Razor Leaf can also be very effective.
- Be prepared for Klawf to get tougher when its health drops below 50%. It'll activate 'Anger Shell', making it hit harder and faster, but its defenses will drop. This is a good time to go on the offensive!
Round 2: The Second Encounter
After you knock Klawf down the first time, it'll run off. Don't worry, you'll find it again by heading down the hill you came from. This time, Arven will join you with his Shellder, which is a huge help! Shellder's Water Gun will do massive damage to Klawf, and it'll use Leer to lower Klawf's defenses, making it easier for your Pokémon to land hits.
Klawf's attacks are the same as before, but they'll hit harder because it's eaten a Herba Mystica. Keep your Pokémon's HP topped up and continue to exploit its weaknesses. It will use Anger Shell again, but this time it lowers its Special Defense and Defense. Just keep up the pressure, and you'll take it down!
After the Battle: The Reward
Once you've finally defeated Klawf, you'll unlock the ability to Dash! This is a game-changer for getting around Paldea. You can activate it by pressing the [B] button while riding your Koraidon or Miraidon. Just be mindful of trees and other Pokémon, as dashing into them will still trigger battles. Enjoy zipping around the region!
