Basic Attacker (Pawniard) @ Eviolite  
Ability: Defiant  
Level: 5  
EVs: 156 Atk / 36 Def / 116 SpD / 196 Spe  
Jolly Nature  
- Knock Off  
- Iron Head  
- Sucker Punch / Taunt / Brick Break
- Protect
Set Details: This set is the most basic of pawniard, Knock Off is essential for Pawniard as it helps us to remove oppositing items, especially Eviolite, which is huge as it takes a lot of importance in any LC format, Iron Head works great as a stab move to hit for super effective damage common pokemons such as cottonee, spritzee and onix this comes handed with a small chance to flinch the opposing pokemon which altho it can be a bit scummy that chance is helpful at times, Protect it's almost mandatory for Pawniard in Doubles since otherwise it would lose a lot of its value; it would drop super easy to any of it's weakness which are pretty common. The last slot may vary a bit and can get adapted to the needings of your team, Sucker Punch helps us a lot with priority for pokémon like Gastly, Abra and Rufflet, next we have Taunt which works very well as a tool to break more bulkier pokemons such as Foongus and Squirtle aswel as to avoid Shell Smash from Omanyte, last we have Brick Break which may be a little less recommendable since it's not as useful overall, it serves perfect for opposing Pawniard and this can be helpful on teams that either want Pawniard gone or your team is weak to it. For the EV spread we will utilitze max speed alongside a Jolly nature to make Pawniard to reach a benchmark of 16 Speed, allowing it to Speed tie with max Speed Vullaby and Rufflet if they are not holding a Choice Scarf as well as outpace Foongudñs and Mudbray. 36 Defense and 156 Special Defense EVs allow Pawniard to maximize its bulk in conjunction with Eviolite to sponge hits as best as possible. This EV distribution also allows Pawniard to avoid the 2HKO from non-Modest Spritzee's Moonblast. The rest of the EVs are invested in Attack to maximize Pawniard's damage output. Defiant is Pawniard's most useful ability, allowing it to pressure Intimidate user such as Scraggy or Growlithe and making it a threat versus Sticky Web teams.

Choice Scarf (Pawniard) @ Choice Scarf  
Ability: Defiant  
Level: 5 
EVs: 156 Atk / 36 Def / 116 SpD / 196 Spe  
Jolly / Adamant Nature  
- Knock Off  
- Iron Head  
- Brick Break
- Psycho Cut
Set Details: This set searches to take your opponent by surprise, it can be a very lethal revengekiller altho it needs to be played carefully. EV's spread are the basics for a Pawniard (can read the reasoning for them in the other set), Jolly is the recommended nature but Adamant can be used alternatively for bigger damage input. What makes it special is the item, Choice Scarf Pawniard is a very good option on some teams, Knock Off caught by surprise in late game or even in early game to Pokémon like Abra, Gastly and Drifloon can be huge for taking this threatsome pokemons down, it also helps us to remove the opposite eviolite, the secondary stab, Iron Head, works great for Onyx, Spitzee, Cotonee and Togepi aswell as making us a really dangerous hitter that needs to be counted on, Brick Break is a necessary to hit opposing Pawniard. For the last slot we have Psycho Cut which hits for super efective damage threats like Mienfoo, Gastly or Croagunk aswell as taking care of defensive pokemons which would otherwise not care much for Pawniard attacks like Foongus, Mareanie and Koffing.
