Strategy Overview

Mawile is blessed with two powerful abilities in Sheer Force and Intimidate as well a good Steel typing, letting Mawile's unassuming stats go a considerable distance. Sheer Force combined with Swords Dance makes Mawile a fearsome wallbreaker, and Intimidate mixed with Mawile's coveted Steel typing allows it to function as a defensive tank. However, Mawile's lack of Speed and reliable recovery limit its effectiveness in both roles.
