Flavor Text
	Sword	Its large and hard pincer has 10,000-horsepower strength. However, being so big, it is unwieldy to move.
	Shield	Its oversized claw is very powerful, but when it's not in battle, the claw just gets in the way.
	Sword	The flow of Gigantamax energy has spurred this Pokémon's left pincer to grow to an enormous size. That claw can pulverize anything.
	Shield	The bubbles it spews out are strongly alkaline. Any opponents hit by them will have their bodies quickly melted away.
Brilliant Diamond		The larger pincer has 10,000-horsepower strength. However, it is so heavy, it is difficult to aim.
