>everything actually makes sense

So a Lucario couldn't punch himself with Close Combat if he wanted to I guess. A character can use a move on themselves if they really wanted to, which is what the Clawitzer did. You're basing your argument on gameplay mechanics and not what is actually shown.

Also saying it's the only time so it doesn't count is dumb. The other Pokemon used it on others cause they needed the healing/to relax. Clawitzer clearly needed to heal itself so it used Heal Pulse on itself. Even then, the writers chose to add that in. They could have just like, not included it and had Clawitzer hang on without the healing.
