Biology

An extremely sneaky Pokémon, Weavile uses its claws and increased intelligence to attack prey in packs of four or five. It communicates with other Weavile by scratching odd symbols on frosted trees or boulders. In Alola, it often hunts Alolan Vulpix and Sandshrew: one Weavile will trip a Sandshrew while another one finishes it off by slashing its soft belly with its claws.

A scratch delivered by Weavile's cold claws could cause frostbite. Like Sneasel, it can climb trees easily to steal Pokémon eggs. It has a Hisuian counterpart in Sneasler.
