Mawile (Japanese: クチート Kucheat) is a dual-type Steel/Fairy Pokémon, and prior to Generation VI, a pure Steel-type Pokémon.

While it is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, it can Mega Evolve into Mega Mawile using the Mawilite.

Biology

Mawile is a short, bipedal Pokémon with a pale yellow body and black arms and feet. Its legs have a thick, fur-like covering resembling bell bottom pants or a skirt. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have an oval yellow spot on their top surface and contain ten teeth - six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are said to actually be transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies and chew through iron beams. It has red eyes and two black ear-like extensions on either side of its head.

Mega Mawile has a second set of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets now have a spiky tuft of hair. It also seems to be able to control each jaw independently of each other . The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. The fur on its legs is now magenta. It now has longer fur on its arms with magenta markings around its wrists.

Mawile is typically found in caves. It uses its non-threatening appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws; when engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned on the enemy to better use its jaws.

Major appearances

Mawile first appeared in Once in a Mawile. The Deceiver Pokémon was owned by a woman named Samantha, a performer in a show, and had a crush on Brock's Lombre, but Lombre didn't feel any affection for Mawile. After the Jolly Pokémon evolved into a Ludicolo by finding a Water Stone in Samantha's backpack, it finally found itself affectionate toward Mawile. However, Mawile decided it didn't like the fully evolved Ludicolo and moved on to another boy's Psyduck.

Mawile made its debut appearance in a cameo in Destiny Deoxys.

A Mawile appeared in a fantasy in Three Jynx and a Baby!

A Mawile appeared in SS027.

A Mawile appeared in Lumiose City Pursuit!.

Trivia

• Mawile's footprint is different between the Generation III games () and the Generation IV games ().
• Mawile's Ruby Pokédex entry erroneously has its name spelled "Mawhile". This mistake is only present in the American versions and was corrected for the English versions available in other regions.
• Mawile seems to be the counterpart of Sableye. Both of them are version-exclusive between Ruby and Sapphire as well as HeartGold and SoulSilver. They also have the same base stat total (with the same base HP and Speed stats).
• Mega Mawile has the highest Attack stat of any Pokémon, with a maximum of 678 (105 base Attack plus Huge Power). This is higher than the limit of 669 Attack (255 base Attack, as 255 is the highest possible 8-digit binary number), and would equal a Pokémon with 259 base Attack.
• Mega Mawile has the lowest base stat total of all Mega Evolved Pokémon.

Origin

It may have been based on the Japanese legend of the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a mouth in the back of her head.

Name origin

Mawile is a combination of maw (the mouth of a voracious animal) and wile (a stratagem or trick intended to deceive or ensnare).

Kucheat is a combination of 口 kuchi (mouth) and cheat or eat.
