Creature description

Weavile is a bipedal bluish-black feline warrior with a red crown and sharp claws. The Pokédex states that evolution made it even more devious than its earlier form, Sneasel. It lives in groups of four or five in cold regions, and these groups hunt prey with impressive coordination. It communicates and sends signals to others in the group by carving odd patterns in frost-covered trees and ice.

Weavile made its debut in the fourth generation portable Pokémon games, Pokémon Diamond & Pearl. Weavile is the evolved form the second generation Pokémon, Sneasel. In order for Sneasel to evolve into Weavile, a trainer must give Sneasel a Razor Claw and level up Sneasel at night. Weavile is most notable for its high speed and attack stats.

In Super Smash Bros Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Weavile appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Brawl. When summoned, Weavile will use its False Swipe attack and slash at other foes on the stage furiously. Although each slash only does 1% damage with no knockback, any opponent that gets hit will be stunned, and since Weavile dashes back and forth, they can be stunned for quite a while. Also, if used on an airborne opponent, the attack has tons of knockback, making a Star KO very likely. In the Pokemon games, the move false swipe would reduce the opponents HP, but it could not kill them (Using it on an opponent with 1 HP would leave them with 1 HP) making it strange that this move can KO. Weavile uses False Swipe in one area for a short period of time before moving onto another area.
