This particular character from the new titles is a Dark-type who resembles a fox-like animal. This means players will have the best success battling this creature when using Fighting, Bug, and Fairy-type characters. 

Players will see this character evolve into its second form known as Theivul when it reaches level 18 through your many battles and adventures.
