Background
| This dropdown contains the synopsis of Mawile’s story. Read at your own risk as you may be spoiled otherwise! |
|---|
|
Mawile is commonly found in caves. It relies on its harmless-looking face to make opponents underestimate it, then strikes with its massive jaws, sometimes swallowing prey whole. In battle, Mawile often turns its back to the enemy to make better use of its jaws. As noted in the Sleep Style Dex, Mawile occasionally sleeps while hugging its jaws, and it is unclear whether this is a trap without a closer look. Mawile has four different sleep styles: Flattened Sleep, Jaw-Swinging Sleep, Jaw-Hugging Sleep, and Atop-Belly Sleep. |
Name Meaning
The name Mawile may be a combination of "maw," referring to the jaws of a voracious animal, and "wile," meaning a cunning stratagem, or "smile."
Kucheat may be a combination of 口 (kuchi), the Japanese word for mouth, and "cheat" or "eat."

Appearance
General Description: Mawile is a short, bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with a pale yellow body. Its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet are black.
Facial Features: Red eyes. A pair of long, black, ear-like extensions on either side of its head.
Physical Features: Its legs resemble a hakama. A pair of large black jaws emerges from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth: six on the top row and four on the bottom. The jaws are transformed steel horns that Mawile can articulate at will. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.
Mega Mawile: Two sets of jaws protrude from the back of its head, both with a spiky tuft of hair. The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists.
Alternate Forms/Disguises: Mega Mawile is considered an alternate form of Mawile.
Personality
- Deceiving: Mawile uses its cuteness to have an opponent let their guard down and then swallows them whole with its huge jaws.

Occa Berry
- Description: An Occa Berry is a type of Berry introduced in Generation IV.
- Usage: Used as a held item.
- Function: If the holder is hit by a supereffective Fire-type attack, it will consume its held Occa Berry and halve the attack's damage. If the holder has Ripen, the damage is multiplied by 1/4.
Lava Cookie
- Description: The Lava Cookie (Japanese: フエンせんべい Huen Rice Cracker) is a type of medicine introduced in Generation III. It is a local specialty of Lavaridge Town.
- Usage: Used from the Bag on a Pokémon.
- Function: When used from the Bag on a Pokémon, it cures a Pokémon of all non-volatile status conditions (poison, paralysis, sleep, burn, freeze) and confusion.
Iron Ball
- Description: The Iron Ball (Japanese: くろいてっきゅう Black Iron Ball) is a type of held item introduced in Generation IV.
- Usage: Used as a held item.
- Function: The Iron Ball halves the holder's Speed and makes it grounded. Due to being grounded, it becomes susceptible to damaging Ground-type moves; Rototiller; Arena Trap; the entry hazards Spikes, Toxic Spikes and Sticky Web; and terrain, even if it is Flying-type, has either the Ability Levitate or Eelevate, or is under the effect of Telekinesis or Magnet Rise. An Iron Ball does not prevent Magnet Rise or Telekinesis from being used successfully. Generation IV: If held by a Flying-type Pokémon, it takes 1× damage from Ground-type moves if its secondary type is not weak to or resists Ground-type attacks. Even if the holder has Klutz or is affected by Embargo, its Speed is still halved by the Iron Ball. Generation V onward: If held by a Flying-type Pokémon, it takes 1× damage from Ground-type moves, regardless of its other types. This does not apply during Inverse Battles or if the holder is grounded by any other effect. All of the effects of the Iron Ball are negated by Klutz, Embargo, and Magic Room.
Notable Techniques
Hyper Cutter
Hyper Cutter prevents the bearer's Attack stat from being lowered by other Pokémon, through moves such as Growl or abilities such as Intimidate.
It does not prevent self-inflicted decreases, such as from Superpower.

Intimidate
Intimidate lowers the Attack of all opponents by one stage when the ability-bearer switches in, including at the start of a battle.
Stats can be lowered to a minimum of -6 stages each.
| Game Descriptions | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Outside of Battle
If a Pokémon with Intimidate is the leading party Pokémon, wild Pokémon are 50% less likely to be of a lower level.
Sheer Force
Sheer Force increases the power of moves that have beneficial secondary effects by 30%, but removes those additional effects.
Beneficial effects are defined as those that are positive for the user, such as:
- Causing a status condition on the opponent (e.g. Thunderbolt)
- Reducing the opponent's stats (e.g. Crunch)
- Increasing the user's stats (e.g. Ancient Power)
Non-beneficial effects that Sheer Force will not activate for include:
- Recoil damage (e.g. Double-Edge)
- Lowering the user's stats (e.g. Superpower)
If the user is holding a Life Orb and uses an attack that activates Sheer Force, it will not receive the 10% damage from Life Orb, but it gets boosts from both Life Orb and Sheer Force (a total of 69% base power increase).
If a move has both an advantageous and disadvantageous side effect, Sheer Force still boosts the move but only the advantageous effect is removed. For example, a Pokémon with Sheer Force using Flare Blitz would gain the power increase and still receive recoil damage, but it would never cause a burn.

Other
Standard Tactics: Mawile uses it's cute appearance to have an opponent drop their guard and then goes to chomp them with their massive jaws.
Weaknesses: Weaknesses
- Standard Pokémon Weaknesses: Pokémon being greatly angered causes them to be confused[53]. The usage of struggle makes the Pokémon take recoil damage, even if they've barely damaged an opponent[22]. Pokémon become too scared to move when dealing with an entity[54] that cannot be ID'd[54].Startling a Pokémon in the middle of its evolution will cause it to not evolve[55].
- Type Weakness
- Fairy Type Weaknesses: Fairy Type moves are not very effective against other fire types, poison types, and steel types. As a Fairy Type, it is weak to poison type attacks and steel type attacks.
- Steel Type Weaknesses: Steel Type moves are not very effective against other steel types, fire types, water types, and electric types. As a steel type, it is weak to fire type attacks, fighting type attacks, and ground type attacks.
- Dual Type Weakness Removals: Due to being a Fairy/Steel dual type, Mawile loses its weakness to poison attacks, becoming immune to it. Mawile loses its weakness to steel attacks, becoming neutral damage. Mawile also loses its weakness to figting type attacks, becoming neutral damage.
- Mega Evolution Weaknesses: Mega Evolution only acts as a "transformation" that ends after a certain amount of time[10].

Trivia
- Mawile's footprint differs between the Generation III games and the Generation IV games.
- Mawile can be viewed as a counterpart to Sableye:
- They are frequently version-exclusive, with Mawile appearing exclusively in Pokémon Ruby, SoulSilver, Omega Ruby, Sword, Brilliant Diamond, and Blazing Adventure Squad, while Sableye is exclusive to Pokémon Sapphire, HeartGold, Alpha Sapphire, Shield, Shining Pearl, and Stormy Adventure Squad.
- They share the same shape classification.
- They have the same base experience yield of 133.
- Both award 1 Attack and 1 Defense EV.
- They share a base stat total of 380 and have identical HP and Speed values.
- Both are capable of Mega Evolution.
- Mega Mawile has several notable base stat distinctions:
- It is tied with Mega Sableye for the lowest base stat total of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 480.
- It is tied with Mega Sableye and Mega Diancie for the lowest base HP stat of all Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 50.
- In Legends: Z-A only, it is one of three Pokémon, along with Mega Medicham and Mega Starmie, that receive more than 100 points in their base stat total upon Mega Evolving to account for their Abilities.
- It receives 42 extra points in its base Attack stat, totaling an increase of 142 base points overall, the most of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon.
- It is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 522.
- Since Mawile's back faces its opponent in battles, it uniquely uses its back sprite in Pokémon Musicals.
Origin
- Mawile may have been based on the Japanese legend of the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. Artistic depictions of the futakuchi-onna commonly show her eating mochi through her "back-mouth," which could explain Mega Mawile's Huge Power ability, as the ability's Japanese name, ちからもち (chikaramochi), is a pun that can be read as both "muscleman" and "strengthening mochi." It may also be influenced by ouni, a demon with a torn mouth and a body covered in hair that lives in the mountains.
- Its mouth resembles a bear-trap, which may explain its unexpected Steel typing. This design choice might also align with its classification as the "Deceiver" Pokémon, using misdirection in its typing. Additionally, the Steel type could be a nod to the "silk hiding steel" metaphor.

Codex Statistics Questions
Q: Shouldn't at least late game Pokémon get Faster Than Light due to being able to dodge solar beam?
A: Solar beam is absorbing light and then shooting out a blast, it is not a light speed attack but an energy blast that absorbs light energy. On top of this, Pokémon cannot dodge this move without lowering the opponents accuracy or raising their own speed. Dazzling Gleam is a flash of light that is also 100% accuracy. Flash which is a literal flash of light is 100% accuracy. So it's clear light speed attacks are generally unmissable unless their accuracy drop or a character ups their speed to make it harder to tag them. Further examples of them not being this speed, Dragonite is pretty consistently stated in its pokedex as an impressive speed feat for it to circle the globe in 16 hours, and Garchomp is treated as impressive for being able to keep up with planes and fly at sonic speeds.

Junichi Masuda: We created Platinum with a new method of determining the game's direction that was based on the image of one Pokémon - Giratina. When I imagined Giratina, the idea of a "reversed world" came to my mind. I thought of concepts such as "E=mc2" and matter and antimatter. There is no top or bottom, no left or right. We increased the number of developers for Diamond and Pearl, so we wanted to clarify the game concepts for the team before we started the project Its better to hammer out the overall vision of the game first, and then all the team members will work towards that vision by throwing out ideas. The concept of "ultimate" was what we started out with for this title." - ↑ Pokémon Mawile Mega Evolultion
