Physiology:
Mawile are short yellow and black Pokémon. Their skin is made entirely out of steel, and their legs have yellow coverings that give the appearance of a dress or bellbottom pants. Their most famous feature, though, is a pair of huge jaw-like horns 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.

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. The skin of a Mawile is made of steel; it is the only non-legendary Pokémon that is purely Steel. This makes a Mawile a tough foe to beat in battle.

Habitat:
Cave Pokémon
Mawile tend to live in caves, grottoes or other dark and dank places.

Diet:
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.
