Clawitzer Guide
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Clawitzer has a 500 base stat total and ranks as C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. It works best as a wallbreaker. Aura Sphere with Assault Vest is the standard set.
Mega Launcher strengthens aura and pulse moves to 1.5× their power. That's the one you want on Clawitzer. It's the only ability Clawitzer has.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Clawitzer fills the wallbreaker role. It's a special attacker with base 120 Sp. Atk. At base 59 Speed, it won't be moving first often. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
