===Origin===
Weavile may be based on the ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', a type of {{wp|yokai}} often represented as weasel demons with sickles on their front legs and sometimes understood as the cause of mysterious cuts on the skin, especially in cold weather. It also shares some traits with {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s. Its appearance may be based on old Egyptian fashion, as it includes what resemble a headdress, collar, and earrings similar to what Egyptian deities wear. Its "eyeshadow" also resembles Egyptian makeup.
