Except with Knuckles, you're talking about a feat that had a context that made it not work.

For Heal Pulse, we all know the context of it, even the company behind it, but Clawitzer still healed itself using it.

There are these things called gameplay mechanics. If you shot the move at yourself, I'm pretty sure you'd be healed, just like if Lucario punched himself with Close Combat. You can't actually punch yourself with Close Combat in the games but it'd be dumb to not assume you couldn't, and it'd hurt him a lot too.
