Escavalier is an insectoid Pokémon with a head sporting the red horsehair crest of a knight’s helmet, with a visor underneath it. Its shoulders have large, round metal ridges, from which its thin black arms extend. The arms are tipped with red-striped protrusions resembling jousting lances. Its face and torso are bare of armor, but its lower body is concealed within a swirled gray shell with a red spike on the underside, which was presumably the shell of a Shelmet. Its tough armor protects its entire body. It flies around at high speed, jabbing foes with its lances. It is brave and will face any challenge even if in trouble.
An Escavalier appeared in Master Class Choices! under the ownership of Shulin, where it was used in the Fleurrh CityPokémon Showcase. Shulin used her Escavalier along with Accelgor to round up a group of Rhyhorn and made it to the freestyle performance.
Escavalier is probably based on the Drilus genus of beetle. Drilus larvae are known for eating snails and stealing their shells, explaining why it attacks Shelmet and takes the shell as a Karrablast. Its design is based on a jousting knight. It is also slightly based on a cuirass.
