Additional Move Options: Pursuit, Stealth Rock, Low Kick Additional Item Options: Dread Plate Notes: Pawniard functions as one of the two premier Defiant users in the tier. Packing a Psychic / Poison immunity as well as an Eviolite boost grants it many opportunities to set up against pokemon that would normally fear Knock Off. It can also fulfill various roles such as a hazard setter or a trapper, making it a dominating force in a metagame where dark types are few.
