|
| It waves its huge, oversized claw in the air to communicate with others. But since the claw is so heavy, this Pokémon quickly tires.
|
| Altaran Kingler
|
| It is unknown why Altaran Kingler resembles a man-made construct rather than a natural Pokémon. However, scientists theorize that it simply uses scrap metal as an outer shell.
