Summary

Escavalier is a Bug/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Type: Bug / Steel

Abilities:

  • Swarm: Powers up Bug-type moves by 50% (1.5×) when the Pokémon has 1/3 or less of its maximum HP.
  • Shell Armor: Prevents the Pokémon from receiving critical hits.
  • Overcoat (Hidden Ability): Protects the Pokémon from weather effects and powder moves like Spore or Sleep Powder.

Physical Characteristics:

  • Escavalier is a knight-like Pokémon that resembles a jousting knight in armor.
  • It has a sleek, metallic body with a long lance on each arm.
  • The colors are predominantly silver and red, with a pointed helmet and visor that completely covers its face.
  • Its lance-like arms are reminiscent of a jousting lance, used both for offense and defense.

Behavior and Habitat:

  • Escavalier is known for its brave and valiant nature, often engaging in duels with its rival, Accelgor.
  • It is typically found in dense forests and fields, where it can practice its jousting skills.
  • Despite its heavy armor, it is known to move quickly and is considered a formidable opponent.

In Battle:

  • Escavalier is a powerful physical attacker with high Attack and Defense stats.
  • It is resistant to Normal, Grass, Psychic, Ice, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy-type moves and has a double resistance to Bug-type moves.
  • Notable moves include Iron Head, Megahorn, and Drill Run.
  • It is weak against Fire-type moves, which are four times effective due to its dual-type disadvantage.

Evolution:

  • Escavalier evolves from Karrablast when traded for a Shelmet.
  • This unique evolution process reflects their rivalry, as Karrablast takes Shelmet's armor to become Escavalier.

Interesting Facts:

  • Escavalier and Accelgor are unique in that they require being traded with each other to evolve, emphasizing their thematic connection.
  • Its design is inspired by medieval jousting knights, with its steel armor and lance-like arms.
  • Despite its heavy appearance, Escavalier's speed is surprisingly decent compared to other armored Pokémon.
  • It is often seen as a symbol of chivalry and valor among Pokémon.
