Description - (What does it look like?)
Weavile is a weasel-like Pokemon with a pale...grey /navy / black (?) body type along with a red crown, red collar, and red feathery ear frills & tail. Weavile have three white claws on each hand and a yellow oval jewel in the center of the forehead with crimson coloured eyes generally an impish little smirk. It is likely to be based off a Kamaitachi; a demon weasel with sickles on its hands. The typing is Dark and Ice.

Weavile are said to be very intelligent and cunning. They usually live in cold & icy climates forming groups of four to five so that they can hunt large prey such as Mamoswine sharing it along with the pack members. Weavile communicate to each other by carving patterns in frost-covered trees, boulders and ice it is said that they have over 500 signs!

Why do I collect Weavile? - (Just a little insight about my mind on the matter!)
I mean just looking at him basically describes everything I usually like design-wise, colour wise and personality wise. When he was first released I thought he was a pretty cool looking Pokemon and was up there with a handful of favourites from Generation 4. Dark types are usually my jam anyway but to get the Ice/Dark combination was just something of an extra bonus for me. I have always loved Sneasel but not enough so when his evolution was here....it was a change for the better!
Weasels (particularly Pine Martens) are some of my favourite animals as well, definitely up in my top 5 so it comes to no surprise that Weavile is in my top 5 as well; in fact he hits #1 most times! Black & red is my ultimate favourite colour combination as well (yes yes such edge and all that) and although he's not exactly black per say it's close enough!
I was an early teenager I think when Weavile was released so I was able to buy a few things that were sold over here in the UK such as the Jakks figure and an odd keychain here and there but it was only until I was able to buy online that I lapped myself up with glorious Weavy merchandise from many moons ago and any new stuff! I was so ecstatic to find out he had such a large DX Pokedoll and he instantly became something I must have....and then there were clear figures and coins and...the list is endless he has been charmed & blessed with so much merchandise. This is probably because he was one of five Pokemon that were released before Generation 4 came to be so basically he was the hype-promo Pokemon for Generation 4 and plastered on anything with Lucario, Bonsly, Mime Jr and Munchlax...although to be honest if the merch didn't have room for them all, Weavile usually got the cut!
In general, Weavile has always had collectors. He's not been shy of them but he's not a super popular Pokemon either but common enough! Thankfully all the Weavile collectors I have stumbled upon so far have always been pretty awesome people (who seem to somewhat share the same searching patterns as me, I wonder if it's a Weavile thing?) I aim to document and buy everything and anything of Weavile!
