Read more ↓Thievul, the Fox Pokémon, is a sly and cunning creature first introduced in the Galar region with Generation VIII. It evolves from Nickit, a smaller, equally mischievous Pokémon, and is known for its adeptness at stealing. Thievul's Pokédex entries often highlight its keen sense of smell, which it uses to track down potential targets and pilfer items when its prey least expects it. Its design, reminiscent of a masked bandit, perfectly encapsulates its thieving nature. In the games, Thievul is a Dark-type Pokémon, giving it an advantage against Psychic and Ghost types, while being vulnerable to Fighting, Bug, and Fairy moves. Its role in the games is typically that of an early-game wild encounter, providing players with a quick and agile companion. In the anime, Thievul and its pre-evolution Nickit are often depicted in episodes focusing on their thieving antics, sometimes as antagonists, other times as misunderstood characters. Their cunning intelligence and stealthy movements make them memorable figures in the Galar region's ecosystem, often outsmarting trainers and other Pokémon alike.
