Diamond/PearlPlatinum
The larger pincer has 10,000- horsepower strength. However, it is so heavy, it is difficult to aim.
Heartgold
It can hardly lift its massive, overgrown pincer. The pincer’s size makes it difficult to aim properly.
Soulsilver
Its pincers grow peculiarly large. If it lifts the pincers too fast, it loses its balance and staggers.
