So in the origin section it talks about Kingambit looking like it is sitting on a throne, but rather than a throne isn't supposed to be in reference to the folding stools that Daimyo and the like are often depicted sitting on in war camps. I don't know if they have a specific name, but they seem to be common in Sengoku era historical series. Given the look of Kingambit's armour and pose, this seems a lot more likely than a throne. | So in the origin section it talks about Kingambit looking like it is sitting on a throne, but rather than a throne isn't supposed to be in reference to the folding stools that Daimyo and the like are often depicted sitting on in war camps.

:Seems possible, but idk if it has like, a name? Or at least a name that doesn't just literally translate to "regular folding stool". FWIW i still think a throne works given it also sort of acts like an emperor (plus, not that English names of Pokémon inform their designs, but i mean, '''King'''ambit?).

Kingambit's evolution
This discovery was made by A Dusky Forest and JP on the Bulbagarden Discord: Bisharp to Kingambit evo requires your Bisharp to defeat three Bisharp that are holding a Leader's Crest. It is not "defeat Bisharp while your Bisharp holds a Leader's Crest" (it has to be the enemy Bisharp holding it), nor is it "defeat Bisharp leading a pack of Pawniard", although those usually spawn holding a Leader's Crest, so i can see where the confusion came from.
The following are copied from A Dusky Forest's Discord posts:
- Thief-stolen items from wild Pokémon go directly into the bag after battle? How long has this been a thing?
- Stealing a wild Bisharp's Leader's Crest using Thief before defeating it makes it ineligible to count toward my Bisharp's evolution requirement.
- Capturing a Leader's Crest Bisharp does not count toward the requirement either.
- Leveling up from the same fight where I defeat the third Crest-holding Bisharp will immediately trigger the evolution.
- Using Switcheroo to give the Crest to a wild Bisharp that didn't generate with one, and then defeating it, counts toward the requirement.
- The KO only counts if your Bisharp deals the finishing blow.
JP confirmed point #5 (i copied their Discord post too):
And yeah I found 3 Bisharp that spawned alone without a pack, gave them all Leader's Crest through switcheroo and then defeated them with my Bisharp After defeating them I levelled up the Bisharp and it evolved
I took the liberty of reposting these Discord posts here for archival purposes; and so other editors may integrate these info onto the relevant pages. Also note that these are tests done on wild Bisharp. I've asked if NPC-owned Bisharp given the Crest counts, i'll update this post when new info is available. (Player-owned Bisharp don't seem to count because Link Battles always reset everything afterward.)

Kingambit's 'throne'
So in the origin section it talks about Kingambit looking like it is sitting on a throne, but rather than a throne isn't supposed to be in reference to the folding stools that Daimyo and the like are often depicted sitting on in war camps. I don't know if they have a specific name, but they seem to be common in Sengoku era historical series. Given the look of Kingambit's armour and pose, this seems a lot more likely than a throne.
