Iron Claws 

Description

Iron Claws is a bipedal Pokémon that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily black and red with a collection of bright red panels for its tail and on its head folded to one side, resembling a Sneasel's feather. On its forehead and chest are bright red screens, with the forehead being shaped like a diamond and the chest shaped like an oval. Its lower arms and legs are colored white, along with its lower torso. Long claws tipped in red hologram-like screens extend out from its hands and feet, glowing with higher intensity depending on the Iron Claw's power level.

It is a very solitary Pokémon, often opting to keep away from others. To claim territory, Iron Claws scratches into its environment with its long claws, leaving signs of its presence everywhere for others to see. When it comes face to face with another Future Paradox Pokémon, it seems to be capable of temporarily corrupting their code, causing them to malfunction. 

Forms

Iron Claws has one alternate form. When it engages in battle, it switches into a much taller Battle Form. The panels on its head shift places and fan out into a large plate above the head, acting as a sort of solar panel to absorb more power. Iron Claws absorbs power from moonlight, rather than the sun, so 

Pokédex:

A deadly foe in battle, Iron Claws uses the panels on its body to absorb moonlight to power itself up, leading it to transform into a powerful Battle Form.

Alt Pokédex:

Iron Claws was originally built as a training dummy for Pokémon learning to battle, and to help other Future Paradox Pokémon strengthen their defense systems. Unfortunately, the project failed, leading to Iron Claws being corrupted, encrypting its own code, and breaking out to live an isolated life.

Trivia:

- Its Signature Move, Lunar Power, acts as a parallel to the move Solar Beam, drawing in energy from moonlight rather than the sun.

- The Neutral Form resembles Sneasel, while the Battle Form resembles Weavile. Both Forms retain inspiration from Sneasler.
