Chesnaught (Japanese: ブリガロン, Hepburn: Burigaron) (CHESS-nawt) is a Grass/Fighting‐type Pokémon introduced in Generation VI. It is the final evolution of Chespin, the Grass‐type starter from Kalos.

Biology

Physiology

After evolving from Quilladin, Chesnaught becomes more muscular, unlike its pre‐evolution. Its fur has also turned red and its head to body proportions are now more humanoid. Its face has a more serious expression, and it also gains a beard that extends underneath its chest plate. It has a long tail and three claws on each limb.

With its tough, spiky armor, Chesnaught resembles a knight.

Abilities

Chesnaught's armour protects it from attacks, and its Tackle attack is said to be extremely powerful to the extent it can flip a 50‐ton truck. By bringing its arms together, it can form a shield. It is also Bulletproof and can withstand an explosion.

Behavior

Chesnaught is known to be a gentle Pokémon, who is very protective of the ones it loves. It will use its own body to shield its Trainer from harm and will become violent if it feels they are threatened. Given their sturdiness and selflessness, it is no wonder that so many trainers in Kalos end up raising Chesnaught as their starter Pokémon.

Evolution

Chesnaught evolves from Quilladin starting at level 36. It is the final evolved form of Chespin.

Battle Animation Sprites

Anime

• Millis's Chesnaught
• Chapmam's Chesnaught
• Chesnaught_(XY102): A dream version of Clemont's Chespin.
• Alain's Chesnaught
• Calem's Chesnaught: This Chesnaught watched its trainer become champion of Kalos and defeated AZ's Golurk. It has a manga counterpart called Marisso, which evolved from Chespin.

Trivia

• Both Chesnaught and Hisuian Decidueye have the most weaknesses of any fully evolved First partner Pokémon, these being flying, poison, psychic, fire, ice, and fairy.
• Out of all the starters so far, it has the highest Defense stat.

Origin

Chesnaught appears to be based on a hedgehog or an armored animal such as an armadillo or pangolin. With the theme of fully evolved Grass‐type First partner Pokémon being based on extinct animals, it may also be based on a Glyptodont. It also appears to take inspiration from knights and the armor that they wear. It may also be based on the warrior class in RPGs.

Etymology

Chesnaught comes from chestnut and juggernaut.
