Kingambit (Japanese: ドドゲザン Dodogezan) is a dual-type Dark/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from Bisharp upon leveling up after defeating three Bisharp that lead a pack of Pawniard. It is the final form of Pawniard.
Biology
Kingambit acts as the leader of Bisharp colonies; leading a huge army of troops in battle. It is extremely powerful, but flawed at devising complex strategies. It is said that only the strongest Bisharp evolve into Kingambit.
It is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Kowtow Cleave.
