Scarf Clawitzer: Yes or No?

Jun. 28, 2017

So, recently I got a shiny Clauncher off the GTS, and evolved it, and I can’t figure out what to do with it.

It’s got a neutral Nature and I haven’t checked out EVs or IVs yet, but I do have the set mostly figured out:

-Water Pulse: Primary STAB, Mega Launcher-boosted, goes great with that base 120 Sp. Atk.-U-Turn: Because who doesn’t like a nice pivot every now and again?-Dark Pulse: Another Mega Launcher-boosted move, adds good coverage-Aura Sphere: More Mega Launcher boosts

Problem is, though, I can’t figure out whether to just go with a Life Orb or give it a Choice Scarf to help with that mediocre Speed stat. Any ideas?

With your specific moveset, go with choice scarf. Clawitzer’s special attack is already quite high, and the extra life orb damage isn’t very necessary. Clawitzer lacks in the speed department but speed would do it good
