Weavile (マニューラ, Manyūra, Manyula) is a fictional creature from the Pokémon series that appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Origin

Weavile was introduced in the fourth generation of Pokémon, albeit appearing in the third generation of the anime, before its game appearance. It can learn its Poké Ball attack, False Swipe, through TM (Technical Machine), and uses mostly physical attacks rather than special attacks (non-physical).

In Super Smash Bros Brawl

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Weavile appears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Brawl. When summoned, Weavile will use False Swipe and slash at other foes on the stage furiously. On the ground, the attack only does 1% damage with no knockback, but any opponent that gets hit will be stunned. Weavile moves back and forth for a long duration of time, trapping opponents for that period of time. When used on an airborne opponent, the attack has high knockback, making a Star KO very likely. In the Pokémon games, the move False Swipe would reduce the opponent's HP to up to 1 HP, never below, making it strange that this move can KO. Like Fox Illusion, if Weavile darts off an edge, it will KO itself.

A Sharp Claw Pokémon. The crown on its head resembles a fully opened folding fan. Its sharp, hooked claws and outstanding speed are its most memorable features. It's one Pokémon that can be expected to perform well on the front lines of battle. There are many Trainers who teach it the TM False Swipe and travel with it to catch rare Pokémon.
