Trivia

• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Pawniard and its evolution.
  • The types it has are coincidentally the two types introduced in Generation II.
• Pawniard and Bisharp are the only Pokémon that can have Defiant as a non-Hidden Ability.

Origin

It looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a lackey or lower member—with features resembling ashigaru armor. It may also originate from kaijin, humanoid villains found in Japanese monster movies.

Name origin

Pawniard may be a combination of pawn (the most basic piece in chess or a low-level operative in an organization) and poignard or poniard (a lightweight dagger). It may also involve palliard (beggar or thief).

Komatana may be a combination of 駒 koma (a piece in the board game Shogi), 細切れ komagire (small pieces), and 刀 katana (sword) or 小刀 kogatana (knife).
