Pawniard's Detailed Stats
Below you'll find a more detailed table containing Pawniard's calculated stats, which are the stats that you actually see displayed in game. These are affected by a variety of things, such as level, Effort Values (EVs), Individual Values (IVs), and Pawniard's Nature.By default, the stats you see in the table below show four different possibilities, all assuming Pawniard is level 100: its stats with 0 EVs, 252+ (max) EVs, 0 IVs, and 31 (max) IVs. Nature is not shown by default, so its maximum is 10% higher than shown here, and minium 10% lower.
If you're looking for where to find Pawniard, you'll find the various methods listed down below, along with any notes or special locations. This should help you figure out how to get Pawniard in Pokémon Sword & Shield. (Currently this does not show most "strong" static encounters or Max Raid Battles.)
