Introduced in Generation III, Mawile is now a dual-type Steel and Fairy-type Pokemon that, before Generation VI, was just a purely Steel-type Pokemon. Although Mawile does not evolve into or from any other Pokemon, in later generations, it can Mega Evolve while using the Mawilite.

Known as the Deceiver Pokemon, Mawile is a wonderfully designed Pokemon that lives up to its nickname. A cute and wonderful looking aesthetic from the front, yet incredibly menacing from the back. With a base stat total of 380, Mawile has an Attack and Defense stat of 85. Mawile comes in handy in battle due to its complete immunity to Poison and Dragon-type Pokemon and Moves. Mawile is also resistant to Normal, Flying, Rock, Bug, Grass, Psychic, Ice, Dark and Fairy-type Pokemon and Moves.

Mawile’s footprint changes between Generation III and Generation IV.
