Pawniard (Japanese: コマタナ, HepburnKomatana) (PAWN-yard[1]) is a Dark/Steel-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology[]

Physiology[]

Pawniard is a small bipedal humanoid-looking warrior Pokémon. Its body appears to be metallic. It has a round head and appears to be wearing an armored red and gray helmet with a razor-sharp metal blade protruding from its forehead. Beneath its helmet, it has a light gray face, no visible mouth, and beady yellow eyes with small black pupils. Its round chest and abdomen are deep gray with three vertical segments and two sharp metal blades encircling its upper and lower body. It has metallic-red extremities with sharp blades on the ends of its hands and two round white toes on its feet.

Behavior[]

Pawniard travel in groups with a Bisharp as their leader. From the first day of having a full exoskeleton, one Pawniard from a clutch will establish dominance over the others through battle. Once it evolves into Bisharp, the other Pawniard will follow its instructions, no matter how dangerous the instructions are.

Pawniard will, when not hunting, sleeping or eating, constantly sharpen their blades, polish their armor, and generally keep themselves in good condition, because their exoskeleton is their only natural defense. To maintain their cutting edges, they use river stones to sharpen their blades. Each Pawniard has their own preferred stones for honing their blades.

Despite being well-known predators in the wild, Pawniard and also Bisharp are dreadful of Tinkatuff, as a single one can easily outclass their entire pack and brutally eliminate them for its hammer.

Natural abilities[]

Pawniard are known for their agility and sharp blades that can effortlessly cut through their enemies and prey.

Evolution[]

Pawniard evolves into Bisharp at Level 52.

Trivia[]

  • Pawniard, along with its evolutions Bisharp and Kingambit, are the first Pokémon to have a Dark/Steel-type combination.
    • They are currently the only Pokémon to have this type combination.
    • They are also currently the only Steel dual-type Pokémon without a double resistance.

Origin[]

Pawniard appears to be based on a samurai or bandit from Japanese culture, the latter possibly being the reason for its dark typing. Its thief inspiration may make it based on a lower-class thief due to hunting in groups and being commanded by Bisharp. Its body also resemble the types of armor that were worn by feudal Japan infantry. It also resembles a pawn chess piece.

Etymology[]

Pawniard is derived from the chess piece pawn, poniard (a small sharp dagger), and palliard (a thief).

Its Japanese name, Komatana, comes from 駒 (koma, a piece in the board game Shōgi) and 刀 (katana, sword).
