 * Weavile appeared in the opening of [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]], [[Unbeatable]], which was set in [[Hoenn]], along with {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Lucario}}, despite these Pokémon being part of [[Generation IV]].
 ===Origin===
-Weavile may be based on cats and {{wp|weasel}}s, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs. It can also be based on black cat demons from both Western and Asian culture that have various backgrounds but are all known for their trickery and cunning. Its appearance seems to be based on old Egyptian fashion, as it "wears" a headdress, collar, and earrings similar to what Egyptian deities wear. Its "eyeshadow" also resembles Egyptian makeup.

-It is possible that Weavile has some influence from Bastet or Sekhmet in its design, being somewhat feline based, and having a very Egyptian style and garb. In addition, both these deities were famous for using their claws in warfare.
