Sunglasses Waruvile (Japanese: サングラスのワルビル Sunglasses Waruvile) is a wild Pokémon which appears multiple times in the Pokémon anime.
History
Waruvile made its first appearance in A Sandile Gusher of Change! as a Sandile, were it was revealed to be the leader of a group of Sandile who lived near a local spa resort. It and the group caused trouble at the spa resort on Route 1 so that they could get the attention of the owners. It was actually trying to save the other Pokémon in the area because it knew that a geyser would soon erupt. With the help of Ash, Iris, and the son of the spa resort owner, Dan, Sandile was able to save the Pokémon. In the end, Sandile was shown to have gained respect for Ash, and as such, began to follow him.
Sandile appeared again in BW012, where it wanted to battle Pikachu. It randomly attacked with Stone Edge, not caring that there were small children close by. It was sent blasting off by a wild Yabukuron, who wanted to protect the children, and by Pikachu's Iron Tail.
Sandile reappeared in BW020, again wanting to battle Pikachu. However, a wild Koaruhie stole its sunglasses and stopped the battle. Sandile was deeply saddened without its sunglasses, losing its usual confidence and becoming quite cowardly. With Ash and Pikachu's help, it defeated the Koaruhie and claimed its sunglasses back. Later, after being healed at the Pokémon Center, Sandile finally got the battle it wanted with Pikachu. Sandile dominated the battle to start with and eventually evolved into Waruvile. Pikachu soon gained the upper hand however, and sent Waruvile blasting off when his Electro Ball attack collided with Waruvile's Stone Edge attack, causing the stones to hit Waruvile and send it flying.
