Mawile (Japanese: Kucheat) is a fictional creature in the Pokemon franchise. It is a Steel/Fairy type Pokemon that first appeared in Generation III of Pokemon. Before Generation VI, it was purely a Steel-type Pokemon. It does not evolve, however, it can Mega Evolve in Mega Mawile using the Mawilite which started in Generation VI.

Concept and Characteristics
Mawile is categorized as a deceiver Pokemon. It is a short, bipedal Pokemon with a pale yellow body, black arms and feet. Its legs are thick, resembling a hakama. Mawile has red eyes and two black ear-like extensions on both sides of its head. It also has a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have an oval yellow spot in the top of its surface.

It's cute face serves to lull its foe by letting down its guard. Then, the foe gets chomped by Mawile's gaping jaws. Mawile has similar characteristics to a Japanese folklore of the monster futakuchi-onna, the two-mouthed woman. The woman has a second mouth in the back of her head. The mouth has its own mind, grabbing food to feed itself. Mawile's jaws resemble long black hair. Mawile's Japanese name, Kucheat (クチート) is combined with kuchi (口 or クチ), meaning mouth, with the English word cheat (チート). Mawile's English name has the same meaning; maw, meaning mouth, and wile, meaning trickery.

Mega Mawile has two sets of jaws on the back of its head like two long pig-tails and spiky tuft of hair. The ear-like extensions on its head are longer with tips of two points. The legs are now magenta, and has magenta markings around its wrists.

Appearances
Mawile first appeared in the Pokemon series debut in Once in a Mawile. The Pokémon was owned by a performer named Samantha and had a crush on Brock's Lombre, but Lombre had no affection for Mawile. When Lombre evolved into a Ludicolo, it found itself affectionate toward Mawile. However, Mawile didn't like Ludicolo and moved on to another Pokemon. Mawile also appeared in The Bonds of Mega Evolution! Mawile was able to Mega Evolve into a Mega Mawile, owned by Mabel. Mawile was in a fight against Korrina's Lucario and both Mega Evolved, but Mega Mawile easily won the battle because of Mega Lucario getting out of control. A Mawile appeared in ''A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?'', owned by Count Pumpka. It was traded to Jessie for her Pumpkaboo. When Pumpkaboo evolved into Gourgeist, Mawile was traded back to Count.
