Pokémon Trading Card Game Escavalier

This official Pokémon Trading Card Game card features Escavalier, the knightly Cavalry Pokémon, as a Stage 1 Metal-type Pokémon. The regal artwork by Takumi Wada depicts Escavalier in a dynamic stance, lances at the ready, evoking the famous painted duels with Sirfetch’d mentioned in its Pokédex entry and emphasizing its honorable, combative nature.

Escavalier offers a choice between speed and overwhelming power. Its first attack, Pierce (cost: one Metal Energy), is a quick move that deals 20 damage. Its second attack, Iron Buster (cost: three Metal Energy), is a decisive lance strike that deals a massive 120 damage. This power comes with a significant drawback: “During your next turn, this Pokémon can’t attack,” requiring careful timing and strategy.

Classified as an Uncommon card (denoted by the diamond symbol), it has a sturdy 120 HP. It carries a Fire-type Weakness (x2), a valuable Psychic-type Resistance (-30), and a two-Colorless Energy Retreat Cost. This card is an excellent choice for Metal-type decks needing a powerful but situational finisher, rewarding players who can strategically plan their knockout turns.
