Mawile (), known in Japan as , is a Pokémon species in Nintendo and Game Freak's Pokémon franchise. First introduced in the video games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, the development team wanted to push the concept of what a Pokémon could look like compared to previous installments. After the design was conceived, it was finalized by Ken Sugimori, who added additional details as he felt necessary. Since Mawile's debut, it has appeared in multiple games including Pokémon Go and the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as well as media related to the franchise.
Originally classified as solely a Steel-type Pokémon, Mawile has a short yellow body, cloven feet, black markings on its hands, and a large horn resembling a crocodile maw protruding from the back of its head. This horn can open and bite targets, though despite resembling a mouth lacks a tongue or throat. With Pokémon X and Y, it was reclassified as a Steel- and Fairy-type Pokémon, and also gained a Mega Evolution, Mega Mawile.
