Bisharp (Pokémon): Difference between revisions

Bisharp is a combination of ''[[wp:Bishop (chess)|bishop]]'', keeping with the {{wp|chess}} theme in its evolutionary line, and ''sharp'', describing its metal blades. Fittingly enough, if a [[wp:Pawn (chess)|pawn]] reaches the end of the opponent's side of the board, the player can choose to "[[wp:Promotion (chess)#Promotion to rook or bishop|promote]]" it to either a [[wp:Rook (chess)|rook]], [[wp:Knight (chess)|knight]], bishop, or [[wp:Queen (chess)|queen]], similar to how Pawniard evolves into Bisharp. Furthermore, it may also derive from ''bisect'', which means "to cut or split into two", referencing the lethality of Bisharp's cutting abilities.
