CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Mawile first draws attention with its docile face. That first impression can distract from the enormous jaw behind its head, which it uses when an opponent lets down its guard. Its apparent gentleness is part of its strategy. With this Pokémon, understanding the entire silhouette completely changes the encounter: what seemed welcoming is preparing an attack just when the other feels safe.

A detail worth noticing

Mawile sm4-64 can fill its Bench with up to two Basic Pokémon from the deck through Call for Family. Crunch separately deals 30 damage and, on heads, also discards an Energy from the opponent's Active Pokémon. tetsuya koizumi illustrated this card, balancing Bench preparation with disruption of opposing resources.
