Pawniard (Japanese: コマタナ Komatana) is a dual-type Dark/Steel Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Bisharp starting at level 52.
Biology
Pawniard is a small, bipedal Pokémon with a vaguely beetle-like appearance. It has a rounded red and black head with a silvery blade extending from the front. Its face is gray with yellow eyes. Four steel spikes protrude from its black torso, two on each side connected by steel ribs. It has red arms that end with knife-like blades instead of hands, which it regularly sharpens with its favorite sharping stones found by rivers. When hunting, Pawniard immobilizes prey by repeated stabbing with these blades after clipping on to them. It then clangs the two blades together afterwards. Its legs are red with two-toed feet.
In the wild, Pawniard lives in packs governed by Bisharp. The Pawniard will attack when commanded by Bisharp and will continue to do so even if they are injured. Each member of the pack trains diligently, hoping to one day take the lead.
In the anime
Major appearances
Pawniard debuted in Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!, under the ownership of Georgia. She was used in Georgia's battle against Ash in the second round of the Club Battle tournament, where she went up against Snivy but was defeated. Pawniard was later revealed to have evolved into Bisharp by Search for the Clubultimate!.
A Pawniard appeared in A Festival of Decisions!, under the ownership of the ninja army. It participated in the attack on Ninja Village.

A Pawniard appeared in a brief flashback in There's a New Gym Leader in Town!, under the ownership of a Youngster.

Trivia
- No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Pawniard and its evolved form.
- The types it has are coincidentally the two types introduced in Generation II.
Origin
Pawniard looks and acts similar to a traditional Japanese bandit—specifically a lackey or lower member—with features resembling ashigaru armor. It may also originate from kaijin, humanoid villains found in Japanese monster movies. Pawniard also has some traits of a pawn chess piece.
Name origin
Pawniard may be a combination of pawn (the most basic piece in chess or a low-level operative in an organization) and poignard or poniard (a lightweight dagger). It may also involve palliard (beggar or thief).
Komatana may be a combination of 駒 koma (a piece in the board game Shogi), 細切れ komagire (small pieces), and 刀 katana (sword) or 小刀 kogatana (knife).
