Mawile (Japanese: クチート Kucheat) is a Template:Type2 Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Biology

Physiology

Mawile are short yellow and black Pokémon. Their legs have yellow coverings that give the appearance of a dress or bellbottom pants, and their feet and arms are black. Their most famous feature, though, is a pair of huge, black, toothy, jaw-like horns with a yellow spot on its surface that grow from the backs of their heads. They are able to open and close these jaws at will and use them to bite or ward off potential threats. Mawile also has drooping black extensions from the sides of its head which can be presumed to be ears and red eyes.

Gender differences

None.

Special abilities

Their abilities range from Hyper Cutter, which prevents the power of their attack from ever lowering, to Intimidate, which lowers the attack power of the opponent. Both abilities are used to ensure that Mawile is the Pokémon with the higher attack power in battle.

Behavior

Rather than attacking an opponent head on, this Pokémon lives up to its nickname, the deceiver. It will turn its back to its foes and cleverly use its dual horns which are disguised as a pair of huge jaws, making it look much more vicious and powerful than it really is. If this doesn't fend off a foe, Mawile has another ace up its sleeve.

Habitat

Mawile tend to live in caves, grottoes or other dark and dank places.

Diet

Main article: Pokémon food

Its huge steel jaws may suggest that it's a carnivore, but it is unknown for certain. However, they do have an affinity with the Occa Berry, as they are occasionally found with this berry.

In the anime

Mawile in the anime

Mawile first appeared in Once in a Mawile. The Deceiver Pokémon was owned by a woman named Samantha 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.

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

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry
AG105 Mawile Ash's Pokédex Mawile, the Deceiver Pokémon. Mawile has jaw-like appendages at the ends of its steel horns. It decieves any opponent who lower its guard with its hypnotic expression, then quickly spins around to bite them.

In the manga

Sapphire Don't be taken by this Pokémon's cute face - it's very dangerous. Mawile fools the foe into letting down its guard then chomps down with its massive jaws. The steel jaws are really horns that have been transformed.

Trivia

  • Mawile's footprint is different between the Generation III games (F303gen3.png) and the Generation IV games (F303.png).
  • 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.
  • As a pure Template:Type2 it has eleven resistances and one immunity, the second highest number among all Pokémon, second only to Magnemite and its evolutions. Other Pokémon who share this number of resistances and immunities are Registeel, Empoleon, Giaru, and Dialga.
  • In Generation III, Mawile is unable to learn any damaging Steel-type moves. Until Generation IV, it can only learn one Steel-type move, Iron Head.
  • Although Mawile can learn False Swipe as an egg move, it can't learn it as a TM.

Origin

Bulbanews
Bulbanews has an article related to this subject:

It may have been based on the Japanese legend of the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. The fact that it can learn various Template:Type2 moves may indicate a relation to a carnivorous plant, similar to Carnivine.

Name origin

Mawile's name 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 English cheat or eat.

In other languages

  • German: Flunkifer - From flunkern (to lie) and kiefer (jaw).
  • French: Mysdibule - From mystique (mystical) and mandibule (mandible).
  • Korean: 입치트 Ipcheat
  • Chinese (Taiwan): 大嘴娃 Dà Zuǐ Wá - Literally "Big mouth doll/baby".
