Shadow Claw ALSO does worse than Wood Hammer:

0 Atk Chesnaught Shadow Claw vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Greninja: 148-176 (51.9 - 61.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

compared to

0 Atk Chesnaught Wood Hammer vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Greninja: 190-225 (66.6 - 78.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Instead now you're comparing an essential base 140 (Shadow Claw's power, which is 70, multiplied by 2 for SE) to an essential base 180 (Wood Hammer's power, which is 120, multiplied by 1.5 for STAB).
