I think I come up with some ideas for if I ever decide to make Knuckles the Werechidna.

While he does have two digit hands, his whole arms could be covered with rock while he has rock like spines on his head serving as a sort of armour. This is additional weight for Knuckles meaning he is too slow to make effective punches, thus removing his fighting power. However he is able to create impenetrable defence when he is blocking and is still able to spin dash making him able to mow down enemies while moving quickly.
