Celestial Storm / #91/168
Printed language: English · Pokémon
CARDEX BACKGROUND
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.Mawile's huge jaws do not come from a second head. Pokémon Ruby explains that they are transformed steel horns. Their mouth-like appearance therefore conceals an anatomical origin different from what their function might suggest.
Quoted source text is retained in the card’s printed language so this exact printing can be identified. The CarDex background above is translated into English.
Attached to its head is a huge set of jaws formed by horns. It can chew through iron beams.Cost: Colorless
