Pawniard's interesting typing makes it a unique choice for an offensive Stealth Rock setter, able to set up on opposing entry hazard setters like Solrock and non-Hidden Power Ground Wormadam-S. Sucker Punch finishes off frailer foes like Mr. Mime and Raichu; it also gives Pawniard more opportunities to set Stealth Rock. Iron Head is its most consistent STAB attack, notably hitting Solrock for a 2HKO while being faster than it, which prevents Solrock from aggressively switching into Pawniard like it could to Lairon. Its last slot is quite flexible: Pursuit traps and checkmates weakened foes like Emolga and Mr. Mime, Night Slash consistently threatens Frillish, Low Kick is its strongest option against Lairon and opposing Pawniard, and Swords Dance doubles up on its offensive capabilities by setting up on defensive threats like non-Hidden Power Ground Wormadam-T and Ivysaur.

Offensive partners like Persian and Mienfoo enjoy benefitting from Pawniard's utility and decent matchup against standard Solrock sets, though Pawniard must be wary of Will-O-Wisp. In addition, thanks to its access to Sucker Punch, Pawniard's teammates also appreciate it being a decent offensive check to Psychic-types like non-Substitute Grumpig and Mr. Mime, though it must be wary of Fighting-type coverage. In return, they can pivot Pawniard into the field more safely to circumvent its mediocre bulk. Setup sweepers like Grumpig and Simisear also benefit from Pawniard being a solid offensive switch-in to Persian, a revenge killer that would otherwise be a serious threat to offensive builds. In return, these setup sweepers can do well against some of Pawniard's weaknesses, like Grumpig and Simisear checking Mienfoo and Lairon, respectively.

Pawniard's interesting typing makes it a unique choice for an offensive Stealth Rock setter, able to set up on opposing hazard setters like Solrock and non-Hidden Power Ground Wormadam-T. Sucker Punch finishes off frailer foes like Mr. Mime and Raichu. Iron Head targets Pokemon like Glaceon and Solrock, and is Pawniard's most consistent option for offense. Its last slot is quite flexible - — leave no spaces here Pursuit traps and checkmates weakened foes like Emolga and Mr. Mime, Night Slash consistently threatens Frillish, Low Kick is its strongest option against Lairon and opposing Pawniard, while Swords Dance doubles up on its offensive capabilities by setting up on defensive threats like non-Hidden Power Ground Wormadam-T and Ivysaur.

Offensive partners like Persian and Mienfoo enjoy taking advantage of its utility and Pawniard's decent matchup against standard Solrock sets; in addition, thanks to its access to Sucker Punch, Pawniard's teammates also appreciate it being a decent offensive check to Psychic-types like non-Substitute Grumpig and Mr. Mime, though it must be aware of Fighting coverage. In return, they can pivot Pawniard into the field more safely and circumvent its mediocre bulk. Setup sweepers like Leafeon and Whiscash also benefit from Pawniard being a solid offensive switch-in to Persian, a revenge killer that would otherwise be a serious threat to offensive builds. In return, these revenge killers can do well against some of Pawniard's weaknesses.

Mention that Pawniard has to be wary of Will-O-Wisp against Solrock

Pawniard's interesting typing makes it a unique choice for an offensive Stealth Rock setter, able to set up on opposing hazard setters like Solrock and non-Hidden Power Ground Wormadam-T. Sucker Punch finishes off frailer foes like Mr. Mime and Raichu, also allowing more opportunities to set Stealth Rock as the opponent switches out of Sucker Punch. Iron Head is Pawniard's most consistent STAB attack, notably hitting Solrock for a 2HKO while being faster than it, which prevents Solrock from aggressively switching into Pawniard like it could to Lairon.
