Weavile (JP: **マニューラ** *Manyula)* is a Pokémon in the Cinwoverse.

It has two known forms:

* Weavile's Sinnohan Form, a Dark/Ice Type that evolves from Johtonian Sneasel when levelled up holding a Razor Claw during the night.
* Weavile's Kakusuian Form, a Dark/Ground Type that evolves from Kakusuian Sneasel when levelled up while holding a Razor Claw during a Sandstorm.

Sinnohan Weavile is known as the Sharp Claw Pokémon, and Kakusuian Weavile is known as the Royal Guard Pokémon.

## Biology

Sinnohan Weavile is a bipedal, weasel-like Pokémon with a pale, gray body. It has a bright red crown and collar made of wide feathers and a single, thinner feather on each ear. The ear feathers are smaller on a female. Sinnohan Weavile has two tail feathers and three claws on each paw. There is a yellow, oval gemstone in the center of its forehead. Its eyes are red with three eyelashes, and four fangs protrude from its upper jaw.

Sinnohan Weavile live in snow covered areas and are notorious predators. They are famed for their speed and agility. A scratch from Weavile's sharp claws can leave behind traces of frostbite. Weavile often hunt in packs for prey such as Delibird, Snorunt, and even larger species like Mamoswine, then divide up the prey amongst themselves. Weavile can communicate by carving patterns into trees, ice, and boulders, with over 500 distinct signs recorded.

Kakusuian Weavile looks similar to Sinnohan Weavile. It is slightly taller on average. Kakusuian Weavile's Crown, Collar and Tail Feathers are Blue and Gold in colour. Kakusuian Weavile has a Rust-Coloured body and Dark Grey Claws. Kakusuian Weavile have a thin film-like layer over their eyes, similar to that of a Flygon. This allows them to see clearly in Sandstorms. They also have black markings around their eyes similar to Eyeliner. Kakusuian Weavile have an Orange Gemstone on their head instead of the Yellow that Sinnohan Weavile have.

Wild Kakusuian Weavile live in packs, wandering through deserts, hunting down Prey. While most Pokémon struggle in sandstorms, Kakusian Weavile thrive in them, and they use this to their advantage when hunting. A pack of Weavile can easily take down opponents much bigger than them such as Golurk and Tyranitar thanks to their teamwork.

Kakusuian Weavile were used as Royal Bodyguards in Kakusui's Ancient times. It is because of this that Weavile have grown to be very Loyal to their Trainers.

## Notable Weavile

### Frostbite

Cin owns a Female Sinnohan Weavile named Frostbite. He caught it on Route 216 as a Sneasel. She was alone, which is unusual for Sneasel in the Wild. It turns out that Frostbite had been abandoned by its Pack as they didn't see its strength. Cin and Frostbite quickly grew a close bond as Cin reassured Frostbite of her strength in a battle. Cin then caught the Sneasel. She evolved into Weavile while battling Pokemon Hunter J's Salamence, with the Razor Claw that Cin recieved from Gary Oak.

Her moves are Night Slash, Ice Punch, Shadow Claw and False Swipe.

Cin often keeps Frostbite on his Party. She has proven herself to be a useful Pokémon for both Research and Battling.

### Sky's Weavile

Sky caught a Sneasel during her time in The Kakusui Region. It evolved into a Weavile some time before she left.

It's moves are Night Slash, Earthquake, Stone Edge, and Metal Claw.

## Trivia

-Kakusuian Weavile is the first Canon CInwoverse Pokémon Form to not originate in the Torhelv Region.

-Kakusuian Weavile was both created and revealed on October 2nd, 2021.

-Due to Weavile being introduced in Pokémon Diamond & Pearl and Sneasel being introduced in Pokémon Gold & SIlver, the evolution line has an oddity in which Regular Sneasel and Regular Weavile have different Regional Titles, Johtonian and Sinnohan, respectively.
