Why is he so slow? I can't really find a justification for his base 20 speed.

I guess you can say because the armor is heavy but if he's based on a jousting knight (possibly on horseback) then he shouldn't be as slow.

nigga do you see a horse?
>>
>>26223086
Well knights don't joust on foot
>>
>>26223073
He's a snail you bogon
>>
>>26223086
10/10 explanation.

>>26223073
>probably on horseback
nigga do you see a fuckin horse
>>
>>26223113
Actually it just stole a snail shell. But it basically inherited snail properties too I guess.
>>
>>26223113
Then what's the point of having a slow ass knight?
>>
>>26223161
By having high strength and toughness with knight armor and weaponry.

>>26223161
tank

How does Escavalier even move? What makes it float?

He uses the lances like stilts.

>>26223234
I want art of this

>>26223073
I don't know and base stats are non-canon.

They don't exist in Pokémon actuality/lore.
>>
>>26223073
Pokedex page says they fly around at high speeds. With only base speed 20, clearly their natural habitat is Trick Rooms, that's why you have to trade for one and can't catch it in the wild.

Have you see Kungfu Panda? Do you remember the thing with the dumpling and the bowls?

Nigga please

>>26223316
I have not.

>Black Pokedex entry: "They fly around at high speed, striking with their pointed spears. Even when in trouble, they face opponents bravely."

>No Extreme Speed

Accelgor and Escavalier really are two of the best designed Pokemon ever
>>
>>26223373
I think the idea is cool but I'm totally confused about what either of them is supposed to be based on exactly or why they have that random as fuck interaction to begin with.
>>
>snail
>heavy armor
>guise wi he zlowh
Fucking retards..

>>26223520
But it's actually a helmet beetle wearing snail armor, while the actual snail gets to be a ninja.
>>
>>26223073
How fuckin' fast would you be if you only had a traffic cone ass for locomotion?
>>
>>26223404
there's a Japanese beetle which eats snails
>>
>>26223191
Magnets
>>
>>26223569
Is that what its from?

Why does the first form of Accelgor look like a clam or something.
>>
>>26223191
How come fish Pokemon don't asphyxiate and die when fighting on dry land?
>>
>>26223249
I know the anime isn't cannon but they just float it the anime, mare than that really they can basically fly.
>>
>>26223583
guess they just wanted to step away from the obvious snail thing. Molluscs are basically amorphous, could be any shape desu
>>
>>26223073

Have you tried moving fast in a full set of armour?
>>
>>26223073
It's a snail, for starters.
>>
>>26223996
it's a beetle

>>26223325

You don't need a literal horse to showcase a warrior under horseback-esque movement. Horseback functionality is the main reason why Samurott can use it's helmet like an impaling spear.
