Sawk (ダゲキ) is the 45th Pokémon in the Unova Pokédex. He is a Fighting Type, and is known as the Karate Pokémon.

Sawk's two abilities are Sturdy, which makes this Pokémon immune to One-Hit KO moves such as Fissure and Horn Drill, and starting with Generation V, Pokémon with Sturdy cannot be KO'd when its HP is full; and Inner Focus, which prevents the Pokémon from flinching except when attempting to use Focus Punch. A third ability, exclusive to Sawk from the Dream World, called Mold Breaker, which nullifies the effect of the foe's abilities on this Pokémon in battle.

Sawk cannot evolve, nor does he have a pre-evolved form

Sawk is in the Human-Like Egg Group, and it will take approximately 5,120 steps for his Egg to hatch. It takes Sawk One Million Experience Points to reach Level 100.

[edit] Biology

[edit] Physiology

Sawk takes on the appearance of a blue karate master.

[edit] Gender Differences

Sawk are exclusively male. Because of this, the only way to breed a Sawk egg is for it to breed with a Ditto.

[edit] Game Information

[edit] Original Games

Sawk appear at Routes 10, 15, 18, and Pinwheel Forest in Black and White. Despite the rarity percentages, Sawk is more likely to appear in Pokémon Black than in Pokémon White. This also holds true in Black 2 and White 2; while Sawk will appear on Routes 15, 18, 23, outside the Pinwheel Forest and the Cliffside section of Victory Road in both Generation V sequels, Sawk are easier to find in Pokémon Black 2.

[edit] Spin-off Games

Sawk appears at Volcanic Slope Canyon 3-2 in Pokémon Rumble Blast.

Sawk appears at the Crag Area's Colosseum in PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, but won't appear until Boldore has been befriended. Befriending it is a unique challenge unto itself: you have to defeat it and Throh in battle at the same time, after which you'll be able to call for Sawk's assistance in battle.

[edit] Trading Card Game

Sawk is listed as an Uncommon Card in the Emerging Powers set, and as a Rare Card in the Black&White set.

[edit] Pokémon Information

[edit] Competitive Battling

Sawk is listed in the Never-Utilized and Rarely-Utilized Tiers of Competitive Battling. While it doesn't have the best of defenses, its mix of Attack and Speed make it a great revenge-killer in both aforementioned tiers. Like other Pokémon that rely on physical attacks for damage, it's performance suffers if it suffers a Burn.
