That's not even a real mouth on Mawile's head, it's just a pair of horns

>>31915779
It and Sableye should both be Dark/Fairy.

The deception of Mawile isn't quite like a venus flytrap, though.
We don't see it much in-game since we just do battles, but the idea is that it lures in prey with its cute face before whipping around and snapping at them. Flytraps are something dangerous that just sits still and slowly entraps its prey.
Presumably Mawile has more to do with some japanese yokai about a cute girl with hungry hair, or some shit. Through coloration and typing it also invokes bear traps.

We also got an explicit venus flytrap next generation, and in Gen III GF was trying to introduce more Steel and Dark-types.

>>31915913
sableye has nothing to do with fairies. It's a mischievous imp that dwells in darkness, based of alien folklore. It's perfect as it is.

Yes, that's exactly it, it's a yokai called the Futakuchi-onna

Didn't they state that the shell is steel?

No metal here, just ice that's hard as steel.

>>31915974
It's ice that's been compacted so well it's "as hard as steel"
But it's not stated to actually be made of steel.

>>31915930
Kartana is made of paper.

Someone wanna explain to me why Mawile wasn't at least Steel/Dark, given that:

>it's always found inside dark caves in Hoenn
>its personality is two-faced, sneaky, manipulative and deceptive
>a third of its levelup moves are Dark moves
>It's a counterpart to Sabeleye, another Dark type
>it's black

>>31916082
Proof?

>>31916056
Wicke mentions that moisture isn't good for it. It would probably get soggy and floppy in water, even if it resists it due to typing.

>>31916057
>Aloan Dugtrio
The hair is metal
>Forretress
metal shell
>Wormadam
See Forretress
>Lucario
Well Lucario is a cancerous cyst that shouldn't exist, also steel spikes
>Probopass
It's literally a giant magnet, it'd have to be metal to be such
>Togemedaru
uh, steel quills?
>Kartana
Glorious Ultra Space steel folded one thousand times

>>31916097
That could just as easily refer to it rusting and thus dulling the edges.

>>31916057
>Alolan Dugtrio
Hair is steel wire (based on some volcanic thing, I don't remember)
>Forretress
Steel outter shell
>Wormadam
Its body is made of trash.... Ya go me there
>Lucario
It has "A heart of steel" and, "nerves of steel" and, "fists of steel".
>Probopass
It's just the magnetic filings under its nose that are metal, but it also just makes sense because it's a compass
>Togemedaru
Literally is metal
>Kartana
It's based on a katana and oragmi. Steel sword based on paper

Really makes you think

>>31916283
Well, if Mr. Mime can have a 50/50 gender ratio, why not

>>31916057
Lucario has that steel nipple

>>31916315
>Lucario has that extremely forced detail lazily slapped onto its design to justify the new type it gains upon evolving
FTFY

>>31916134

so the idea that wormadam picked up metal garbage like tin cans and discarded silverware is to abstract of a thought.

but lucario gets the steel ticket because of

>heart of steel
>fists of steel

what a crock of shit, lucario looks nothing like a steel type.

Lucario is like Wolverine, his skeleton (which the spikes are part of) is metal.

>>31916343

It works to make Lucario stand out from other Fighting-types, because its Steel typing cancels out all of the Fighting type's weaknesses

>Fighting is weak to Psychic, but Steel resists it
>Fighting is weak to Flying, but Steel resists it
>It didn't exist when Lucario was created, but Fighting is weak to Fairy, and Steel resists and is super-effective against it
>Fighting is not very effective against Poison, but Steel is immune to Poison

>The Steel type eleminates all of the Fighting type's weaknesses, leaving only the Steel type's weaknesses (Fighting, Ground, and Fire)

It all comes together to make Lucario the ultimate Fighting type

>>31915779

>>31915779
I'm sure GF just wanted some more steel types, also it was the first pure steel type before the fairy retcon right?

Similarly, ghost does this for normal, and normal half does this for ghost.

How can normal have ONE good type combo and they STILL have never made it?

I still can't believe this many people haven't figured out that the steel typing doesn't strictly mean being made of metal, but that the pokemon has properties in it's body that behave like metal/steel.

Perfect example was stated above, how alolan sandshrew's iced is so compact that it behaves like steel, thus giving the typing.

Even if it isn't actually metal, i the properties of the substance behave like steel, than it gets the same benefits/weaknesses of it.

Mawile's teeth like horns in it's false jaw, are probably as hard as steel. Same with lucario's spikes, most likely protruding bone.

Yes, most pokemon that have a steel typing, it is clearly reflected by being made of some sort of metal on their bodies, but not all of them.
