A Pokemon fan recently turned the new Rock-type Pokemon Klawf from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet into a shiny variant. Though Game Freak, Nintendo, and The Pokemon Company have kept most of the newcomers a secret, it has been reported that Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will include over 100 new Pokemon when released later this year. The Rock-type Klawf is one of the more recent new Pokemon for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which have been steadily unveiled in the months before the games’ release.

Klawf is the most recent in a long line of Pokemon inspired by crabs, although it distinguishes out since it is a Rock-type rather than the more common Water-type. Klawf, also called the “Ambush Pokemon,” is the first character to give the series’ Anger Shell a new power. Due to Klawf’s Anger Shell ability, the Pokemon turns hostile after losing half of its health after a battle. This affects Klawf’s numbers by decreasing Special Defense and Defense while raising its Attack, Special Attack, and Speed stats.

Klawf will presumably have a shiny form in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet; however, this has yet to be disclosed. One such admirer is Reddit user Osmiooo, who imagined what a shiny Klawf might look like in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Osmiooo’s version of shiny Klawf sees the Pokemon shed its orange hue in favor of a new grey look. This is to make Klawf look like an ordinary stone, which will help it blend in with its Ambush Pokemon theme. It’s possible that the natural shine for Klawf may have a similar color palette, but it’s also possible that it will look completely different.

Unfortunately, it’s unlikely that the shiny variations for Pokemon Scarlet and Violet will be shown before the game’s release, so fans will have to wait and see what Klawf’s shining form looks like.
