Chesnaught (Japanese:ブリガロンBrigarron) is a dual-typeGrass/FightingPokémon introduced inGeneration VI.

Itevolves fromQuilladin starting at level 36. It is the final form ofChespin.

Chesnaught canMega Evolve intoMega Chesnaught using theChesnaughtite. Mega Chesnaught was introduced inPokémon Legends: Z-A.

Biology

Chesnaught is a bipedal, mammalianPokémon with some plantlike features. There is fluffy white fur on its belly and fringing its face like a beard. It has a small, pink nose with a three-pointed patch of brown fur extending up its short snout and four pointed teeth. On top of its head is a plate of beige armor, similar to a helmet. It possesses a prominent domed, armor-like shell similar to that of a chestnut. The armor is beige with four large spines jutting out of the back. The armor is trimmed with red and green bands; the green is on the outermost edge. There is an additional spine protruding from the armor over each of Chesnaught's shoulders, which are connected by a green breastplate. Its body is colored similarly to the shell, and its long limbs and tail are banded with plates of armor. The top surfaces of the tail and arms are protected by green armor, and each arm has two small spines. It has three brown, clawed digits on its hands and feet. Its arms can be brought together to create a spike-covered, shield-like formation.

Chesnaught is renowned for its tank-like body; it is capable of flipping a 50-ton truck. Once it gets into its defensive stance with its hands covering its face, it canresist a bomb's explosion. It will not hesitate to use its sturdy body to shield its allies from danger. While Chesnaught is normally gentle and prefers avoiding conflict, it will not hesitate to give opponents a thrashing with its thorned fists when driven to.^[1]

Prior toGeneration VII, Chesnaught and its pre-evolved forms were theonly known Pokémon that could haveBulletproof as anAbility.

Forms

Chesnaught canMega Evolve into Mega Chesnaught.

As Mega Chesnaught, it more greatly resembles an armored warrior, and its torso is now completely covered in white fur. Its claws are now colored gold, matching a three-pronged, crown-like adornment on its head, with three black indentations. The armored plate covering its head has extended slightly downward to better resemble a helmet. The green and red bands on its shell have changed to a dark maroon color, matching a cape-like extension of fur underneath. The front connecting piece of its shell armor is now shaped like a spade and more beveled. Along with its front spines and arm spines, the latter of which have fully extended into sharp spikes, it is now a dark green color. Its shell also stores two shield-like extensions on the sides. Each extension has two spikes opposite each other on the rim, along with multiple green circular portions that can also extend into spikes, as well as a smaller spike on the top center of the extension. Mega Chesnaught can use its shell extensions like a battle axe.

Mega Chesnaught's outer shell and body experience a significant increase in defensive capabilities due to Mega Evolution. The fur on its body has grown to the extent that it functions as an impact-absorbing cloak. With newfound confidence in its ability to withstand any attacks, Mega Chesnaught exhibits a steadfast spirit and a level-headed personality. Its shield-like shoulder armor can transform into destructive weapons. When it removes a piece of its incredibly tough shoulder armor, spikes extend from the shield to form an axe-like weapon with a long handle. The axe head is so heavy that even Mega Chesnaught's brute strength can't easily wield it with one hand. However, gripping it with both hands allows Mega Chesnaught to use this weapon with precision to overpower its foes.^[2]

Trivia

• Chesnaught has the highest Defense stat among all fully evolvedfirst partner Pokémon, excludingMega Evolutions.
• Mega Chesnaught has the highestDefense stat of allGrass-type andFighting-type Pokémon.
• Mega Chesnaught, MegaDelphox, and MegaGreninja were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release ofPokémon Legends: Z-A, along with MegaRaichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

Origin

Chesnaught seems to be based on ahedgehog combined with a maturedchestnut. It may also draw inspiration from "armored" mammals such aspangolins,armadillos, andglyptodonts, with its pale-colored armor, red nose and white hair specially resembling athree-banded armadillo. Its bulky "armor" is possibly a reference to split apartcalybium and cupule, which are parts that protect the nuts of chestnut trees which split apart when sufficiently ripened. It is also based onknights and various types of bodyarmor, includingbrigandines,barbutes, and modernbomb suits. Chesnaught and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the fighter or warriorcharacter class inrole-playing games, which specializes in physical combat and generally has high defense, while lacking in magical capabilities.

Mega Chesnaught appears to be based on the general imagery ofkings, with the crown-like protrusion on its head and the red cape. The way its fur overlaps on its chest resemblesscale armor.

Name origin

Chesnaught may be a combination ofchestnut andjuggernaut,knight, ordreadnought.

Brigarron may be a combination ofbrigandine andmarron (French for chestnut).
