Mega Mawile Weakness
Mega Mawile's Steel/Fairy typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire and Ground. It shrugs off Poison and Dragon-type attacks completely. 9 resistances give it solid defensive coverage on top of that. Mega Mawile's physical bulk (base 125 Def) helps cushion physical weakness hits, but special attackers are the bigger threat.

| 0.5x (Resist) | Normal, Grass, Ice, Flying, Psychic, Rock, Dark, Fairy |
| 0.25x (Resist) | Bug |
