Obtaining Pawniard in Pokemon Go and Its Potential Shiny Form

Pawniard is a small yet powerful Pokemon with a combination of Dark and Steel types. But, how can one obtain it in Pokemon Go?

Pawniard was first introduced in the Generation 5 games as a small yet powerful opponent with steel blades on its torso. In order to evolve Pawniard, players of the mainline games must wait until it reaches level 52 with patience.

In Pokemon Scarlet & Violet, players have the ability to evolve their Bisharp into Kingambit by defeating three Bisharp that are each holding a Leader’s Crest.

Although Kingambit has not yet been added to Pokemon Go, there are still ways to catch Pawniard and Bisharp. Here’s how.
