Fighting the Stony Cliff Titan is the first recommended step for the Path of Legends storyline of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. When encountering this Pokémon, players should try to be roughly above level 15 as Klawf can deal quite a lot of damage to anything below. To prepare for the fight, players should bring a Pokémon that won't be hit for super effective damage by Klawf's moves and return the moves with super effective damage. A strong Grass or Water Type is more than enough to take out the Titan, with Wiglett or Floatzel being good choices.
