Chesnaught (Japanese: ブリガロン Brigarron) is a dual-type Grass/Fighting Pokémon introduced in Generation VI.

It evolves from Quilladin starting at level 36. It is the final form of Chespin.

Biology

Chesnaught bringing its arms together

Chesnaught is a bipedal, mammalian Pokémon with some plantlike features. There is fluffy white fur on its belly and fringing its face like a beard. It has a small, pink nose with a three-pointed patch of brown fur extending up its short snout and four pointed teeth. On top of its head is a plate of beige armor, similar to a helmet. It possesses a prominent domed, armor-like shell similar to that of a chestnut. The armor is beige with four large spines jutting out of the back. The armor is trimmed with red and green bands; the green is on the outermost edge. There is an additional spine protruding from the armor over each of Chesnaught's shoulders, which are connected by a green breastplate. Its body is colored similarly to the shell, and its long limbs and tail are banded with plates of armor. The top surfaces of the tail and arms are protected by green armor, and each arm has two small spines. It has three brown, clawed digits on its hands and feet. Its arms can be brought together to create a spike-covered "shield".

Chesnaught is renowned for its tank-like body; it is capable of flipping a 50-ton truck. Once it gets into its defensive stance with its hands covering its face, it can stand up to a bomb's explosion. It will not hesitate to use its sturdy body to shield its allies from danger. While Chesnaught is normally gentle and prefers avoiding conflict, it will not hesitate to give opponents a thrashing with its thorned fists when the situation calls for it.

Before Generation VII, Chesnaught and its pre-evolved forms were the only known Pokémon that could have Bulletproof as an Ability.

Evolution

Chesnaught evolves from Quilladin and is the final form of Chespin.

Trivia

Origin

Chesnaught seems to be based on a hedgehog combined with a matured chestnut. It may also draw inspiration from "armored" mammals such as pangolins, armadillos, and glyptodonts. Its bulky "armor" is possibly a reference to split apart calybium and cupule, which are parts that protect the nuts of chestnut trees which split apart when sufficiently ripened. It is also based on knights and various types of body armor, including brigandines, barbutes, and modern bomb suits. Chesnaught and its pre-evolutions may also draw inspiration from the fighter or warrior character class in role-playing games, which specializes in physical combat and generally has high defense, while lacking in magical capabilities.

Name origin

Chesnaught may be a combination of chestnut and juggernaut, knight, or dreadnought.

Brigarron may be a combination of brigandine and marron (French for chestnut).
