Original Unova#007Updated Unova#007Hisui#007Blueberry#206

This Pokémon from the Unova region uses the shell on its belly as a weapon to cut down its foes. Thus, I've conferred upon this shell the name ”scalchop”.
Legends: Arceus
The scalchop on its stomach isn’t just used for battle--it can be used to break open hard berries as well.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Omega Ruby
The scalchop on its stomach is made from the same elements as claws. It detaches the scalchop for use as a blade.
White
It fights using the scalchop on its stomach. In response to an attack, it retaliates immediately by slashing.
