Escavalier is an armored insect-like Pokémon that as introduced in the fifth generation games. It is the evolved form of Karrablast.

Information

Escavalier evolves from Karrablast as a result of the electrical stimulation which is placed on a Karrablast when it is traded with a Shelmet, with the same process causing Shelmet's evolution into Accelgor. Escavalier gains the Shelmet's shell covering as it evolves, and it becomes steel armor which protects its entire body. They fly around at high speeds and attack with their pointed spears. Escavalier are known for bravely facing their opponents even when in trouble.

In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, Escavalier appeared at the Train Depot in the Tech Area and it could be befriended through battle after befriending Scizor. The Escavalier was described as a former battle friend of Scizor's, with the two having a falling out because of how absorbed Scizor got in Chase.

It was later featured in one episode, where Professor Juniper and Bianca traded their respective Karrablast and Shelmet to trigger their evolutions.
