CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Escavalier protects its whole body beneath the shell stolen from Shelmet. This armor lets it charge an enemy with two pointed lances, even if the opponent looks stronger. The Pokédex mentions its great popularity in Galar and a famous painting depicting its joust with Sirfetch'd. Its knightly appearance is not merely decorative: every part of its silhouette serves movement and battle.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon X identifies Escavalier's shell as the one taken from Shelmet. Pokémon Shield mentions a painting of its joust with Sirfetch'd. Armor acquired through an encounter between species has become a motif familiar enough to inspire an artwork.
