Pawniard is a solid utility Pokemon, pairing its excellent typing that allows it to check common Pokemon like Vullaby and Gastly with its useful support options in Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave. Thunder Wave keeps Pawniard from being too passive, and it combines well with Iron Head to paraflinch opposing Pokemon. Iron Head lets Pawniard hit both Mienfoo and Vullaby for neutral damage. Sucker Punch is a strong priority move that can pick off setup sweepers such as Shell Smash Shellder or Choice Scarf users like Hisuian Growlithe. Pawniard's EV spread gives it the bulk it needs to handle the aforementioned threats while keeping itself fast and strong enough to deal damage on its own. Pawniard struggles with Fighting- and Ground-type moves from Pokemon like Mienfoo and Mudbray respectively, so Pawniard can use Tera Flying to turn these attacks into a resistance and an immunity, respectively.

Pawniard can complement Vullaby-weak Pokemon such as Foongus and Gastly, which struggle to deal with Vullaby's STAB moves. Both of these Pokemon provide useful benefits to Pawniard, with Foongus being able to check Mienfoo while Gastly can switch into the Ground-type moves that give Pawniard trouble. Slow and strong wallbreakers such as Mudbray and Eviolite Hisuian Growlithe can take advantage of Thunder Wave from Pawniard to become more threatening when opposing Pokemon are outpaced by them.

Despite losing Knock Off in the transition to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, Pawniard manages to remain viable through its useful utility options and defensive profile that allows it to check dangerous threats like Vullaby and Gastly (reword this bit, deleted first part bc it just isnt relevant). Stealth Rock provides great value as it racks up passive damage on opposing Pokemon over the course of the game. Thunder Wave keeps Pawniard from being too passive, as it can pair with Iron Head to paraflinch and generally disrupt other teams (neutral damage to foo/vulla should be worth mentioning). Pawniard's EV spread gives it the bulk it needs to handle the aforementioned threats Vullaby and Gastly while keeping itself fast and strong enough to be a threat on its own. The biggest threats to Pawniard come from Fighting- and Ground-type moves from Pokemon like Mienfoo and Mudbray, so Pawniard can use Tera Flying to turn these attacks into a resistance and immunity respectively.

Pawniard can complement Vullaby-weak Pokemon such as Foongus and Gastly which struggle into Vullaby's STAB moves that Pawniard enjoys switching in on to use Stealth Rock or Thunder Wave (felt not needed). Both of these Pokemon return the favor to Pawniard, with Foongus being able to check Mienfoo, while Gastly can switch into the Ground-type moves that give Pawniard trouble. Slow and strong attackers such as Mudbray and Eviolite Hisuian Growlithe can take advantage of Thunder Wave from Pawniard to become more potent wallbreakers when opposing Pokemon are slower than them.

Iron Head gives Pawniard the ability to hit both Mienfoo and Vullaby for neutral damage. i think there should be a way to make this just one sentence Sucker Punch is a strong priority move that can pick off chipped feels redundant setup sweepers such as Shell Smash Shellder or scarfers like growlithe. Pawniard's EV spread gives it the bulk it needs to handle the aforementioned threats Vullaby and Gastly redundnant while keeping itself fast and strong enough to be a threat on its own. The biggest threats youre repeating threat too much but idk if thats my job to point out lol to Pawniard come from Fighting- and Ground-type moves from Pokemon like Mienfoo and Mudbray, so Pawniard can use Tera Flying to turn these attacks into a resistance and immunity respectively.

Pawniard finds itself is a solid utility Pokemon, pairing its excellent typing that allows it to check common Pokemon like Vullaby and Gastly and with its useful supporting support options in Stealth Rock and Thunder Wave. Stealth Rock provides great value for Pawniard's team,(AC) (clarity) as it racks up passive damage on opposing Pokemon over the course of the game (dex info? I feel like you could say something more interesting here). Thunder Wave keeps Pawniard from being too passive, additionally combining and it combines well with Iron Head to paraflinch opposing Pokemon(RC).(AP) while Iron Head also lets Pawniard hit both Mienfoo and Vullaby for neutral damage (does it help with other targets too? Is it good as a STAB move? This description feels very simplistic, I know this is QC's responsibility but it's bugging me enough to mention in passing). Sucker Punch is a strong priority move that can pick off setup sweepers such as Shell Smash Shellder or Choice Scarf Pokemon users like Hisuian Growlithe. Pawniard's EV spread gives it the bulk it needs to handle the aforementioned threats while keeping itself fast and strong enough to deal damage on its own. Pawniard struggles with Fighting- and Ground-type moves from Pokemon like Mienfoo and Mudbray, respectively,(AC) so Pawniard can use Tera Flying to turn these attacks into a resistance and an immunity,(AC) respectively.

Pawniard can complement Vullaby-weak Pokemon such as Foongus and Gastly,(AC) which struggle to deal with into Vullaby's STAB moves. Both of these Pokemon return the favor to provide useful benefits for Pawniard, with Foongus being able to check Mienfoo(RC) while Gastly can switch into the Ground-type moves that give Pawniard trouble. Slow and strong attackers wallbreakers such as Mudbray and Eviolite Hisuian Growlithe can take advantage of Thunder Wave from Pawniard to become more potent wallbreakers threatening when opposing Pokemon are outpaced by them.
