Mawile’s attacks are physical in nature, so it would need to be close to you. Running around the arena makes it easy to dodge them, as there is a short wind-up time before Mawile launches the attacks. However, the charged Orb attack is Fairy-type and should be approached with caution. These are large projectiles that can fill up the arena as they are deployed. Recall your Pokemon during this phase and then carefully utilize the gaps between the Orbs to dodge and avoid incoming damage.
