Dragon Claw: evolution and compatible Pokémon

How this comparison works ↗

Original game · d567c6da

Upgrade recipe

Dragon Claw L5 + Power this run + one gold evolution choice → Dragon Claw +.

  1. Dragon Claw · L5
  2. Power ×1
  3. Separate gold evolution choices ×1
  4. Dragon Claw +

Still needed: 4 level upgrades · run card needed · gold choice not entered.

Permanent upgrades do not replace the run card. Each evolved move consumes its own gold choice; a ready recipe does not guarantee an offer.

Max level → evolution, with the same Pokémon and resource modifiers

Damage per second: 171.79 → 325.64 · Base power / support per stack: 48.3 → 91.77 · Activation interval: 0.39 → 0.39 s · Emitted count: 1 → 1

The extra max-level + card row and evolution row share the required run card. They show a target after the displayed requirements are met, without adding cards or a gold choice to your current inputs.

Changing species resets species-specific moves, TM teaching and traits. Shared resource and target inputs remain. Candidate links always carry that candidate’s legal context.

Which compatible Pokémon already learned this TM?

Only selected species are treated as taught. Unselected TM-only candidates stay unavailable; no TM or purchase is granted automatically.

Enter only moves, cards and Bonds already obtained. A stage label does not supply missing resources. Traits are entered conditions; select the nature and ability you actually have.

Current evolved attacks

All 97 original evolved moves now display their base localized name followed by “ +”. Requirements and evolution modifiers stay the same; previous names remain searchable aliases. Meteor Mash is now damage 24, radius 48 and knockback 70 (previously 34/54/80); cooldown 1.4 s and count 2 are unchanged. Every level and evolved output is calculated from this updated base.

Original and embedded edition

These additions apply to the pinned original release 1a52cc838c. The embedded community game uses its separate published rules snapshot: its Meteor Mash and legacy evolution names are retained by the Community model, and the new original-only Orbs, Plate scoring and item-break assumptions are not applied to it.

Current original category

Physical · d567c6da · 2026-10-20

Uses physical Attack against the target’s Defense. Physical Attack support applies; Special Attack support does not.

These figures describe the cited original-source snapshot. The embedded community edition has its own release; consult its version notes for adapted rules.

TM compatibility

Only the listed compatible, off-type TMs can add new moves. Type + Normal natural moves need no TM. Teaching consumes one unused TM permanently; known moves cannot be taught twice. Taught moves join level-up cards and non-buff starting choices. Compatibility alone does not mean already learned.

Abilities

HP, weather and target conditions are explicit inputs. Ability startup precedes cards/items. Frame-based random/proc effects are reported separately; sustained DPS still needs your hit/occupancy assumptions. Hustle expectation averages rounded weak/normal branches. Absorb/dodge grant 0.3s invulnerability; pure damage bypasses them.
