Escavalier

==Summary==
Escavalier is a Bug/Steel type Pokémon, introduced in Generation V. It evolves from Karrablast when traded specifically with a Shelmet, due to a strange, unknown reaction to electrical stimulation.
It is a Pokémon based on a knight, using the armor it had stolen from Shelmet and two twin lances to fight with. It is considered a popular Pokémon in the Galar region, due to an art depiction of it fighting a Sirfetch’d.
