PawnChessmon (Data Squad)

PawnChessmon is a fictional character from the Digimon franchise, a Rookie-level Puppet Digimon born from the data of a chess program. PawnChessmon's personality is one of a person making its impression in the world by achievements. PawnChessmon come in two colors, black and white - naturally, they are modeled after the Pawn Chess piece. The two types are rivals. PawnChessmon are Puppet type Digimon who were born from data inside a chess game on a supercomputer. They may have a weak amount of power, but these mysterious infantry soldiers become more popular in the world with each achievement listed, thus giving them powers equal to a Mega. Their motto is "Only to advance!"

Appearance
They look like miniature Knights, except with a large helm and large Bottom. Their weapons are spears and they carry a small shield that can create barriers. They are able to lift their helmet up to reveal a pair of small yellow eyes and a mouth, but they do not talk.

Description
The two PawnChessmon are the partners of Megumi and Miki, the two DATS operators. They help with DATS's attempts to keep Digimon from damaging the peace of the real world, and can often be seen working at computer terminals. They usually stay out of battle, but lend a hand by digivolving to Champion when SaberLeomon's army attacks, and by digivolving to Ultimate when Belphemon appears. However, Belphemon is able to degenerate them back to their Rookie forms using its chains. They also fought against the Royal Knight Gallantmon but were defeated. Later, PawnChessmon were present in the battle against Yggdrasil but did little fighting. They eventually returned to the Digital World with the other Digimon.

Attacks
 * Pawn Buckler
 * Pawn Spear: Attacks with the small spear.
 * Pawn Dash: Dashes with the shield held to bash enemy.

Twin Attacks
 * Pyramid Formation: Allows them to obtain the opponent's logistics via a special formation, which they can perform against even those at the Ultimate level.

Other Forms
The name "PawnChessmon" refers only to the Rookie form of these Digimon. Throughout the series the PawnChessmon gain the ability to Digivolve into a number of more powerful forms, each with a different name and special attack. However, the Rookie level is their preferred form and the one they spend most of their time in.
