APokemonfan recently created a shiny version of the new Rock-type Pokemon Klawf fromPokemon Scarlet and Violet.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetwill apparently feature over 100 new Pokemon when they launch later this year, though Game Freak, Nintendo, and The Pokemon Company are keeping most of the newcomers secret.New Pokemon have been slowly revealed forPokemon Scarlet and Violetin the months leading up to the games' release, with one of the more recent new Pokemon being Rock-type Klawf.
Klawf is the latest in a long line ofPokemon based on crabs, though it stands out for being a Rock-type instead of the typical Water-type. Known as the “Ambush Pokemon,” Klawf is introducing a brand-new ability to the franchise called Anger Shell. Klawf’s Anger Shell ability makes it so that once the Pokemon loses half of its health in battle, it becomes angry. This impacts Klawf’s stats by lowering its Defense and Special Defense, but increases its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats.

Klawf will presumably have a shiny variant inPokemon Scarlet and Violet, though it has yet to be revealed. In fact, none of the shiny variants have been revealed forPokemon Scarlet and Violetto date, so fans have taken matters into their own hands, creating fan art that imagine what theseshiny Pokemonmight look like. One such fan is Reddit user Osmiooo, who created their take on what a shiny Klawf could look like inPokemon Scarlet and Violet.
Osmiooo’s interpretation of shiny Klawf sees the Pokemon lose its orange coloring in favor of a new gray look. This is to make Klawf look like a regular stone, which would help it camouflage itself and fit in with its Ambush Pokemon theme. It’s possible that the real shiny for Klawf will use a similar color scheme, but it’s also possible that it will look completely different. It’s unlikely that the shiny variants will be revealed forPokemon Scarlet and Violetahead of launch, so fans will likely have to wait to play the games for themselves to find out what Klawf’s shiny form looks like for sure.
Many of the new Pokemon revealed forPokemon Scarlet and Violethave been received with enthusiasm from the community, and Klawf is no exception. Klawf will have an important role to play in the games, as players will have to confront a Titan Klawf if they hope to complete all ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s storylines.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violetlaunch November 18, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
