With a maximum CP of 3,305 at Level 50 with perfect 15/15/15 IVs, Escavalier is a strong competitor in various formats. This complete guide covers the best moveset, PvP analysis, raid counters, evolution, and shiny availability for Escavalier in 2026.
Escavalier's Attack stat is 223 (Excellent). This is a competitive Attack stat that makes Escavalier a strong damage dealer.

The best moveset for Escavalier depends on whether you use it for raids, gyms, or PvP. For raids, use Counter (Fast) with Megahorn (Charged) for maximum DPS. This takes advantage of STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) which provides a 20% damage boost for matching-type moves.
For PvP (GO Battle League), energy generation and coverage matter more than raw DPS. Escavalier has 2 Fast Attacks and 5 Charged Attacks to choose from. Note that Escavalier has Elite TM moves that may outperform standard options in certain formats.
In Great League, Escavalier can be a viable pick. For Great League, lower Attack IVs (like 0/15/15) are preferred to maximize stat product under 1500 CP. The Bug/Steel typing provides useful matchups against Grass, Poison, Normal-type threats while being weak to Fire types.
In Master League, Escavalier faces tough competition from Pokémon with higher CP caps. It is better suited for capped leagues.
