Strategy Overview

Thanks to Mawile's fantastic Mega Evolution, it goes from zero to hero! Boasting the highest Attack stat in the game, an excellent typing, priority, and a great base ability in Intimidate, Mega Mawile is an incredibly daunting physical threat that's almost impossible to wall and difficult to wear down. This makes Mega Mawile an especially effective threat against Trick Room teams and stall teams. However, because of Mega Mawile's poor Speed stat, it's not too difficult to revenge kill early in the match. Simply hitting it with faster, strong STAB Ground-type and Fire-type attacks will usually end Mega Mawile's reign of terror. It doesn't help that most users of Will-O-Wisp outpace Mega Mawile as well. Because of Mega Mawile's flaws, it's not simply a Pokemon you can slap on your team; it's a powerful Pokemon you build your team around.
