In-Depth Analysis

With a base stat total of 380, Mawile plays as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Its standout stat is Attack at 85, while HP (50) is the clear soft spot — build sets that protect that weakness.

Defensively, the Steel, Fairy combination gives Mawile 9 resistances, 2 immunities, and 2 weaknesses to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 6 types with super-effective STAB coverage.

A low catch rate of 45 makes Mawile a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Fast experience curve. Defeating it grants Attack +1, Defense +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
