Sword These Pokémon judge one another based on pincers. Thicker, more impressive pincers make for more popularity with the opposite gender.
Shield This Pokémon clamps its pincers down on its prey and then either splits the prey in half or flings it away.
Brilliant Diamond It grips prey with its pincers until the prey is torn apart. What it can't tear, it tosses far away.
