MetaMons competitive notes
Pawniard is a dark/steel-type Pokémon whose base stats lean toward Attack — at 340 BST it is a low total for competitive play, with mid-pack speed (base 60) and a physical attacking profile. Its Defiant ability matters more than the raw numbers when it hits the field: check what it does before deciding between a sweeper, pivot, or support role for Pawniard. Build around what Pawniard actually threatens, not its in-game lore — start from its weaknesses and strongest STAB moves, then decide whether its Speed, bulk, or coverage justifies a team slot.
