Last Updated: Regulation M-2
Page Status: This Mawile build guide will be updated when new Pokemon Champions regulations, items, buffs or nerfs change its best set.
Mawile has two main builds in Pokemon Champions. The Mega attacker is the strongest offensive option, while the bulky Intimidate build is better when another Pokemon needs the Mega slot.
This is the main Mawile build. It uses Mega Evolution to become a powerful physical attacker with strong Fairy and Steel-type coverage.
| Item | Mawilite |
|---|---|
| Ability | Huge Power after Mega Evolution |
| Nature | Adamant, +Attack and -Sp. Atk |
| Moves | Play Rough, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, Protect |

This version gives Mawile more team support without using the Mega slot. It focuses on Intimidate and useful priority.

|---|---|
| Ability | Intimidate |
| Nature | Adamant, +Attack and -Sp. Atk |
| Moves | Play Rough, Iron Head, Sucker Punch, Protect |
| Stat Point Spread | HP: 28 / Attack: 24 / Sp. Def: 10 |
Mawile stats are shown below for easy comparison.
Mawilite is the best item because Mega Mawile’s Huge Power makes it dramatically more threatening.
Sitrus Berry is the safest non-Mega item when Mawile is used for Intimidate support.
Mawile works best with Pokemon that cover its weaknesses, support its preferred speed control or help it find safer turns.
Mawile is strong against Dragon, Fairy, Ice, Rock and Dark-type Pokemon. Intimidate also gives it defensive value into physical attackers.
Sucker Punch helps Mawile finish weakened faster threats.
Mawile is threatened by Fire and Ground-type attacks. It is also slow, so it needs support to avoid being worn down before attacking.
Mawile can learn Steel, Fairy, Dark, Fighting and coverage moves across different Pokemon games. Use the section below to view the full move list by learn method.
