PvE Analysis
Recommended moves
Escavalier has a decent ATK stat of 223, but its moveset is not good enough for PvE usage. Besides, there's another Bug/Steel-type Pokémon that's far superior in both stats and moveset. And oh, that Pokémon also has a Mega Evolution. It’s Scizor, and we recommend choosing it over Escavalier any day. 😄
⚔️ Raids
There's no reason to use Escavalier over Scizor. Do note that when facing Raid Bosses weak to Bug-type moves (Dark, Grass, and Psychic), other types are always stronger than Bugs. ‼️
🛡️ Gyms
Escavalier isn't tanky enough to withstand many hits despite its nine type resistances. It’s also double weak to Fire-type attacks. 🔥

Megahorn
Escavalier had long been a staple in the lower Leagues of the GBL, but that changed after Counter got rudely nerfed. This reduction in energy gains from Counter makes it harder for Escavalier to reach its Charged Moves. 🫤
This is a far cry from how powerful Counter used to be… it even made non-STAB users like Escavalier a huge threat. The addition of Razor Shell to Escavalier’s movepool from its Community Day doesn’t help much in the Great League but has some use in the Ultra League! Overall, Razor Shell doesn't bring Escavalier back to its old glory but is a small upgrade. 🫠
💎 Escavalier’s best moveset for PvP is Counter, Drill Run, and Aerial Ace.
🔵 Great League
Escavalier performs best with Drill Run and Aerial Ace, taking down Toxapex, Stunfisk, Wigglytuff, and Lickilicky. Still, it's a shadow of its pre-Counter self and doesn’t bring anything special to the table. 😒
🟡 Ultra League
Razor Shell is kinder to Escavalier in Ultra League (1-1 shield scenario), with its low cost, 50% chance to drop DEF, and good pairing with Drill Run, helping Escavalier beat Cobalion, Registeel, Ampharos, Shadow Drapion, Venusaur, and Greninja. 👀
With shields down, however, it performs worse. So, having multiple Escavalier is better, with the Razor Shell variant being a fun pick to use. ✅
🟣 Master League
Escavalier in the Master League is like a tin can being crushed beyond recognition. 😵
