| Y Alpha Sapphire |
They live in cold regions, forming groups of four or five that hunt prey with impressive coordination. |
| Sun | They travel in groups of four or five, leaving signs for one another on trees and rocks. They bring down their prey with coordinated attacks. |
| Moon | They dwell in cold places. This Pokémon’s main food source in Alola is Vulpix and Sandshrew, which they carefully divide among their group. |
| Ultra Sun | One Weavile will trip a Sandshrew and flip it over, and then another Weavile will deal the finishing blow with its sharp claws. |
| Ultra Moon | Thanks to its increased intelligence, scrapping over food is a thing of the past. A scratch from its claws will give you a case of frostbite! |
| Sword | They attack their quarry in packs. Prey as large as Mamoswine easily fall to the teamwork of a group of Weavile. |
| Shield | With its claws, it leaves behind signs for its friends to find. The number of distinct signs is said to be over 500. |
| Brilliant Diamond | They live in cold regions, forming groups of four or five that hunt prey with impressive coordination. |
| Shining Pearl | It sends signals to others of its kind by carving odd patterns on trees and ice. |
| Legends: Arceus | This species corners prey as a pack, under the guidance of a leader. Weavile displays increased cunning, leading me to speculate that its evolution caused further brain development. |
| Scarlet | Evolution made it even more devious. It communicates by clawing signs in boulders. |
| Violet | They travel in groups of four or five, leaving signs for one another on trees and rocks. They bring down their prey with coordinated attacks. |
