Escavalier is Pokédex #589, generation 5 (Unova). Escavalier is a Stage 1 Metal Pokémon with 120 HP. The card says it evolves from Karrablast. In this catalog that name is Karrablast (#588).

Escavalier sits at 101/172 in Brilliant Stars, position 101 of 186. Before it is 100 Heatran, and after it is 102 Klink. The set belongs to the Sword & Shield series. It was released on February 25, 2022. The printed size is 172. This checklist is longer, at 186 cards. The listed rarity is Rare.

Miraculous Armor is listed as Ability. This Pokémon takes 100 less damage from attacks from your opponent's Pokémon V (after applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Pike lists 90 damage. The cost is Metal, Colorless, Colorless. This attack also does 30 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fire ×2. Resistance is Grass -30. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "They use shells they've stolen from Shelmet to arm and protect themselves. They're very popular Pokémon in the Galar region."

Escavalier (#589) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Escavalier 80/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Nurikabe illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 6 other cards of Escavalier list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nurikabe. I count 16 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Brilliant Stars set binder is where a full Brilliant Stars set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Escavalier can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
