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.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Feint Attack chooses an opposing Pokémon: its 10 damage reaches the target without calculating Weakness or Resistance, even if effects protect it. Surprise takes a card from the opponent's hand without looking; the player examines it, then its owner shuffles it into the deck. This Mawile combines a targeted strike with hand disruption.
