Weavile (Japanese: マニューラ Manyula) is a Dark/Ice-type Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Weavile's appearance looks like that of a blue-ish, black bipedal feline, clad in a bright red crown, and collar. Weavile has two tails, instead of three like its pre-evolved form.

Weavile has three claws on each paw, unlike it pre-evolved form, Sneasel, which only had two.

Gender differences

A female Weavile has smaller feather ears then a male.

Special abilities

Weavile mostly knows the same moves that its pre-evolution can know, but Weavile is more adept with using attacks than Sneasel. Weavile is just as fast as Sneasel. In addition to the moves that its pre-evolution, Sneasel, can learn, Weavile can learn Night Slash and Dark Pulse.

In the anime

In Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, a trainer named Kid Summers owns two Weavile.

In the episode, Duels of the Jungle, it makes an appearance. In the episode, a Weavile is banished from its group because the Hooked Claw Pokémon was attracted to a Sneasel that the group's leader was attracted to.

Trivia

• Weavile's US name was revealed on 28th May 2006, the same day that Mime Jr.'s name was revealed.

Origin

Weavile may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 kamaitachi, weasel demons with sickles on their front legs.

Name origin

Weavile's name seems to be a combination of weasel and vile. Its Japanese name, マニューラ Manyula, is based on ニューラ Nyula, the name of its pre-evolution, Sneasel. The "Ma" in its name is a Japanese word meaning "demon".
