How to Get a Razor Claw in Pokemon Legends Arceus
November 4, 2025
Pokémon Legends: Arceus has a ton of cool items that can help you on your journey to catch 'em all. One of these items is the Razor Claw, which is an evolutionary item. If you're wondering how to get your hands on one, you're in the right place. You can get a Razor Claw by purchasing it with Merit Points, or finding it in Space-Time Distortions.
Where to Find a Razor Claw
There are a few different ways to get a Razor Claw in Pokémon Legends: Arceus. Here's a breakdown of each method:
- Merit Points: You can buy a Razor Claw from the Trading Post in Jubilife Village for 1,400 Merit Points. You can earn Merit Points by finding lost satchels out in the wild. I remember spending a whole afternoon just running around the Obsidian Fieldlands, picking up lost satchels. It was a bit of a grind, but I finally got enough Merit Points to buy a Razor Claw and evolve my Sneasel.
- Space-Time Distortions: Razor Claws can also be found as random drops in Space-Time Distortions. These are special events that can happen in any of the game's areas. When a Space-Time Distortion appears, you'll see a notification on your screen. Head to the area and you'll find a dome-shaped field. Inside, you'll find rare Pokémon and items, including the Razor Claw. I got lucky once and found one on my first try in a Space-Time Distortion in the Crimson Mirelands. It was a great feeling to find one without having to grind for Merit Points.
- Defeating or Catching certain Pokemon: You can also get a Razor Claw by defeating or catching a Sneasel or Weavile.
Once you have a Razor Claw, you can use it to evolve your Sneasel into a Weavile. To do this, simply select the Razor Claw from your inventory and use it on your Sneasel. For a more detailed guide on this, check out our post on how to evolve Sneasel in Pokemon Legends Arceus.
