Pawniard & Bisharp


Pawniard is a 70HP Basic Metal Pokemon with Fire weakness and one retreat cost. The Push Down attack for 1 Metal Energy does 10 damage and forces the opponent to choose a new Active Pokemon. This switching new Pokemon for the opponent can be useful in some cases.

Bisharp is the Stage 1 Evolution of Pawniard. This has 120 HP, Fire weakness and a 1 retreat cost. The Kick Draw attack deals 50 damage plus you draw 2 cards off from 1 Metal Energy. For a middle Stage 1 evolution attacker, this is a good attacker.

Kingambit is the final evolution. It evolves from Bisharp. This has 170 HP, Fire weakness and a 3 retreat cost. The Double Edged Slash attack requires 2 Metal Energy to deal 180 damage and then 50 damage to itself.

The Supreme Overlord ability lets Kingambit deal 30 more damage to the opponent's Active Pokemon for each Prize card your opponent has taken. This a revenge type of ability where Kingambit grows stronger when your opponent is close to taking all 6 of their Prize cards.

One could look at Kingambit as a poor man's version of Charizard ex from Obsidian Flames.

Thank you for reading.

Combined with a Relicanth you might be able to do some neat things similar to a Feraligatr deck. You don't have a attack-retreat sadly, but in return you do have a higher pottential damage output. Using the Pawniard of Black bolt which has Corner which prevents your opponent from retreating you do have a way to lock.

I don't know if it will work, but it does sound fun to try and create a deck around it :)

The Pawniard Corner card with Relicanth is an interesting idea. Players are used to retreat locking attackers like Yveltal in N's Zoroark decks and in Mega Absol decks. They break the retreat lock with Penny, Professor Turo's Scenario, Switch, Prime Catcher, etc. More players are aware of this control-like strategy so they have counters.
