Weavile may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs. | Weavile may be based on weasels, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs. | ||

Weavile's name seems to be a combination of ''weasel'' and ''vile''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 魔 ''ma'', demon, 潜入 ''sennyū'', sneaking in, and 鼬 ''yū'', an alternate reading of ''itachi'', or weasel. | Weavile's name seems to be a combination of ''weasel'' and ''vile''.
