How I Learned to Love Mawile

[@mewziikal8331]

Mega mawile's attack stat is equivalent to base 259, not 210, because the additional stat points from EVs get doubled too

[@adampozzobon5193]

As long as it's invested in EVs, which is usually pretty difficult during an in-game playthrough, yeah Although it's always important to let people know to feed their Proteins to their huge power pokemon!

[@turkoositerapsidi]

Koffing comes along with her gas and uses will'o wisp. "Hello there buddy."

[@altercard5389]

​@@adampozzobon5193don't the games with mega mawile have the training minigames for evs? So you'd just grind them until you had the evs you wanted.

I love the fact that Marnie got a Mawile in Pokémon Masters. Since it's typical to always associate trainers with their type specialties, I never realized how perfect of a combination Marnie and Mawile are. They are opposites of each other. Marnie looks cold and intimidating, but she actually wants to work on being more grateful for everyone supporting her. Meanwhile, Mawile uses their cuteness to lure you to their chompers. When Steven got paired with Alolan Sandslash for a summer event years ago, I was worried that Pokémon Masters might get weird when it starts introducing combinations of pokémon and trainers that don't align with what's canon in the main series games. But I'm glad they rarely ever miss with the pairings. I think the only one I'm still trying to get used to is Wallace being paired with Blacephalon. That was so out of left field in my opinion.

[@jakalder]

Well both Wallace and Blacephalon put on shows, yeah?

[@Pownchao]

Been a Mawile enjoyer since gen 3. Adding the Fairy type only solidified my love for it! Mawile was also what introduced me into the concept of yokais, and diving into the design concepts of Pokémon became an even larger fascination after that. Glad to have found more people online that love the little Pokémon.

[@coffee-ouji]

ME TOO it's because of Mawile I've become really interested in yokais and inspirations behind other pokémon

[@staydetermined6717]

Yoooo, I really do think ya would like Yokai watch then

[@tonberry2670]

Every single time someone mentions Huge Power, they completely forget how base stats actually work. It doesn't give Mawile an attack stat of 210. It gives Mawile a number equivalent to 258.

[@turkoositerapsidi]

Huge power is all fun and games until koffing or weezing shows up with odd gas.

[@anthonyk3952]

Exactly. Every single stat multiplier in the game both ability and move (Huge Power, Swords Dance, Growl, Tailwind, etc.) multiplies the actual numerical stat itself, not the base stat, letting you get some insane RoI and double dipping value since natures and EVs also effectively have their values influenced as well.

[@Mimiyan_or_Pikapikafan]

Wait THATS WHY I LIKE POKEMON LIKE MIMIKYU AND MAWILE, CREEPY YET CUTE. I already had picked that up with Mimikyu, but with Mawile it makes sense also

[@KosmoZer0]

I will say that Mawile never appealed to me in the older games but after your video I think i have a new appreciation for it and if it returns in ZA- I am willing to give it another chance definitely. I also think being Fairy/Steel is by far the most broken type combo you could get offensively and defensively but when we had Zacian (and even more recently Tinkaton) came into the picture, no one really considered Mawile as a possible contender or even as a spot on most people's team. On another note, my username wasn't on the listing of the Great Gators cuz I ordered a new card and was late on the sub so my bad on that but I appreciate the shout-out so thanks Gator. Keep up the great work.

[@delphoxhoopa7289]

I have fond memories of needing a Fairy-Type Pokemon in my first playthrough of Omega Ruby, and just happened to find Mawile in Granite Cave. I caught her, expecting not to keep it on my team long term, only for her to impress me with her incredible endurance and strength, whether she was in her Mega Form or not. She's currently still in the cartridge along with my other team members, but I hope she'll be compatible with Legends ZA so she can have another adventure after almost seven years. Until then, I'll be collecting Ribbons with her, so she'll always have a memento of where she came from when I eventually transfer her to Home.

[@azurneon]

MAWILE MENTIONED 🍻

[@BackwardsHat]

Huge Power doesn't double the base stat but rather the stat number itself.

[@Wheaty03]

mega mawile should've just been mawile's regular evolution. i always find it so weird when pokemon, a series about evolving your little guys to make them stronger, has pokemon that just don't evolve

[@turkoositerapsidi]

Not every Pokémon needs to be evolving in my opinion, but at least unevolving ones should be quite strong naturally.

[@tigerlover2853]

The thing is with giving Mawile an evolution is that they’d have to give Sableye one too, since they’re rivals.

[@Bonehead_Paladin]

@@tigerlover2853 I see this as a win-win situation tbh

[@rockowlgamer631]

I really wish Mawile would get a proper evolution to make up for losing its mega form. One idea I had is that since now that Zacian is the more offensive Steel/Fairy, why not make Mawile's evolution the more bulky Steel/Fairy type? Maybe bump its lack luster 380 BST to maybe about 540? Same thing both Gyarados and Milotic have for BST totals. Could also do that for Sableye as well. Here's Mawile's evolution stat spread suggestion. Slightly slower for trick room teams with good bulk and moderate 100 attack, maybe give it Body Press, and some other good necessary moves for this to work. Hp- 100 Atk- 100 Def- 105 SpAtk- 40 SpDef- 105 Speed- 30 What do you think GatorEX? Now obviously we could go for a Zacian/mega mawile lite version if you don't like stall tactics. Or even possible going for full support if need be? All I know is that I wish Mawile AND Sableye would get some justice for losing their megas.

[@soyalexpop]

Also Mawile mega evolution is one that they could’ve retconned as Mawile’s regular evolution

[@tkedge2094]

Man ive loved mawile the day I saw it in Pokemon platinum. Its one of my 4 favourite mons that I keep an eye out for in every Pokemon game

[@mattsterical577]

3:26 huge power doubles the raw attack stat rather than the base attack stat. with huge power, mega mawile's base attack stat would actually be MUCH greater than 210, effectively being 259 instead.

We actually have old family home movies where in the background you can hear me watching the Once in a Mawile episode. One of my favorites as a kid

[@FrostGallade]

Mawile is definitely one of my favourite Pokemon. Especially in Gen 6 where it's Mega Evolution is busted. I've never really used it any other gen though because it has the very low base stat total of 380... That is lower than most early game bug types like Butterfree and Dustox. Additionally in Gen 3 it doesn't learn a single Steel Type attack aside from maybe Steel Hidden Power, but then you'd have to get lucky. I really should use it again at some point in a Generation that isn't Gen 6.

[@CosmicCorviknight]

As a Gen 3 Sapphire player Mawile unfortunately just kinda passed me by and I don't think I've ever actually used one in battle in any Gen. I think I need to give it a chance if it comes back with its Mega form though as Mawile does seem to balance being very cute yet utterly badass very well, which is kinda rare for most Pokémon

[@Deoix9877]

here's a detail a lot of people tend to forget. huge power doesn't double the base attack stat, it doubles the actual attack stat of the pokemon, EVs and IVs included. Meaning, that an adamant mawile with full attack investment has an attack stat of 678. to put it in contrast, mega mewtwo X, the pokemon with the highest base attack stat ever at 190, with the same investment only goes up to 526, giving mawile 152 more attack

Mawile was always a bit of an elusive Pokemon for me during my Childhood because I grew up with Sapphire, and I always thought Mawile was super cool. Over time I definitely started to like it more and more and someday I might actually use it on a team! I don't care if base Mawile's stats are garbage, I used Delcatty on a team before and had it be of use, I can definitely take advantage of Mawile's strengths lol. Also Mega Mawile is awesome and one of the best Megas ever.

[@LegendofKal]

I never played gens 2-5, so after picking up X to see what all had changed and what new pokemon there were to see, imagine my surprise when I was spelunking on one of the side routes by Grant's gym and I eventually ran into this adorable bugger! As soon as I saw it, I fell in love with it, and made absolutely sure not to fuck up trying to catch it. Unfortunately, since I had X, I couldn't experience the splendor of Mega Mawile, whoch I found out after the fact. By the time SwSh came around, I was riding the memes of the Scottish Trainer, and figured why not jump in again. Sure enough, I encountered aa Mawile in a Raid Den, and added it to my core team, using a combination of stat-lowering berries and EV training through PokeJobs to make it a defensive powerhouse! Couple that with its low speed and Counter as a move and I was sweeping NPC teams left and right!

Slight inaccuracy in huge power description, it doubles the attack stat, not the base stat. This just means it has an even higher attack stat than double its base since it also doubles the bonuses from EVs and IVs.

I went and got myself a shiny one in Ultra Sun cause I think it's adorable. It's currently on my battle tree team. Don't have a switch so I don't get to enjoy it in the later generations but that's OK. I'd miss my mega Mawile.

I feel like the main reason it's thrown to the wayside are those abysmal stats. Non Mega Mawile is not doing anything which is why I like that it got one. I honestly wished they toned it down and just made it a regular evolution cause it's one of the Megas that feel the least like "the Pokemon but more".

[@CaptainObliviousV]

I do like Mawile, I’ve always thought it was a cool & cute Pokémon, doubly so for its mega. It’s just a shame that, without that mega, it’s kinda bad in the stats department. It can’t even receive a proper evolution now since mega evolution is canonically only for fully evolved Pokémon.

[@Taijirai]

My biggest problem with Mawile was that it was too below average, the Steel type couldnt carry the poor HP and Sp.Def. Even the eventual Fairy typing wasn't a big help, the Mega is what saved it. It'll probably make a big comeback during Legends Z-A. Here's hoping!
