Mawile just wanted to bite harder. So by the end of gen 5, it thought "why not have bigger jaws, or even two of them!?" This severe miscalculation has resulted in many Pokémon being ripped apart, broken, or wondering if their defenses got nerfed. But Mawile doesn't care. It got to taste Ubers, something only so many Pokémon can dream of. That said, I like both its non mega and mega designs. It constantly made me sad that I never had Ruby, but recruiting it in PMD: Darkness/Sky was a close enough alternative until I could finally own one for myself.

Yeah, this is maybe the best combination in the game, good both in defense anda attack.

Regardless of competitiveness, Mawile is one of my favorite Pokemon to use and favorite Gen 3. It has helped me a lot ever since Omega Ruby. And thanks to the Gen 6 games, I've been adoring Mawile for its usefulness and cuteness. Whenever Mawile was available, I would place it in my team showing how much I like the Pokemon. That's basically how I feel about Mawile. Can't wait for the next video for False Swipe Gaming.

Plus Mawile’s mega evolution does feel like it would be a natural evolution for Mawile.

In gen VII he's ok as a stall mon, but the introduction of Z-Moves was a hard blow to its viability though. He wasn't as good in Doubles, I didn't play through VGC 14&15, but he was sure hella bad is VGC16, bc you know, Xerneas being a thing, and its playstyle being much more suited to Singles where he can eat hits for days and Recover the damage he took.

@@Entelarmer Ah good ol mega ray. The first pokemon after Gen1 Mewtwo to break Smogon. But let´s face it: It is just nasty. Only mega without a mega stone, an ability which negates flying weaknesses (combined with decend hp and defenses), great movepool (run it physikal, special, mixed with draco etc). Let´s face it... there are only few things it hasn´t: Extreme bulk, Quiver Dance, reliable recovery... but hey who needs that when you can spam brave bird with no recoil after one dragon dance and just sweep?

Dude Mega Mawile should’ve been a normal evolution without huge power. I think mega mawile was too cool to abandon and its regular form is so forgettable. Idk why the devs pass away these great changes. I’m sure fans would appreciate it because mawile feels so incomplete

Also, unlike many mega, the statistics are not exaggerated at all, it only has a total base of 480, the only thing that could be discussed is about the Huge Power ability, which is the main reason why Mawile-Mega broke the meta in 6th generation.

@luckystar36414 жыл бұрын
Mawile is one of my favorite pokemon, and I hope the regular version gets some kind of buff. I'm not a competitive player, but I'm currently playing pokemon sword and I'm hoping to get one with the ability sheer force, and mixing it with the life orb to get a total 60% extra damage, and the ability sheer force ignore's the life orb's downside as long as I attack with an attack that has a secondary effect. I might also have some pokemon get up it's attack and putting up a subsitute before baton passing over to mawile to have a lot of attack, even without the mega form. Even though regular mawile isn't very good competitively, i'll try to use it anyways

I know this is obivous, but someone has to say it. Sadly, Mawile's mega was taken away in gen 8 and it became weak agian. Even though it has a good typing, it can't do anything even in PU. So it once agian fell to Untiered. And now with the announcement of a new gen, fans are hoping Mawile might get a evolution in the future.

Y'know, it's such a shame that even IF Mega Mawile comes back, it has been absolutely neutered in usefulness because of a new pokemon. Three words. Crowned. Sword. Zacian. (Edit: Thank you for saying they were in different tiers, that makes me calmer. But, I'm still gonna leave the rest of this because it's still good to note.) Sure its attack isn't as ridiculous (It is still huge at 170 base!) but the big thing here is speed. *Zacian is the fastest Fairy-type pokemon in existence at 148 base. Triple that of Mega Mawile.* That also means another thing... *Zacian outspeeds ALL dragon type pokemon!* The only ones that come close are Dragapult at 142 and Mega Sceptile (Which isn't even in Sword and Shield!) at 145!

Mawile is one of the best examples of how Mega Evolution buffed bad Pokemon. Without it it would drop to depths of PU and probably be Untiered, thanks to its Mega, Mawile has a very respectable attack stat and could crush opponents it could not before. The Fairy typing was also a blessing removing the Fighting weakness and giving it two immunities to common types was amazing, I love this mon and I'm glad GF gave us Mega Evolution, I hope they could continue it by giving it to forgotten mons like Noctowl, Delcatty and others
