Known as the Cavalry Pokémon, its unique evolutionary process sets it apart: a Karrablast evolves into Escavalier when it trades with a Shelmet, absorbing Shelmet's discarded shell to form its own armor. This symbiotic exchange results in Escavalier's distinctive knight-like appearance, complete with lances for arms and a helmet-like head. In the Pokémon world, Escavalier are often depicted as fierce and honorable warriors, engaging in joust-like battles with their sharp lances. Their diet likely consists of small insects or plant matter, though their aggressive demeanor suggests a predatory nature. In the games, Escavalier is a physically strong Pokémon with high Attack and Defense stats, making it a formidable opponent. In the anime, it has been featured in battles, highlighting its chivalrous nature and fighting prowess. Its unique design and intriguing evolution method have made it a memorable Pokémon, embodying a blend of insectoid and medieval knight aesthetics. Its Bug/Steel typing gives it many resistances but also a crippling weakness to Fire-type attacks.
