A breed that was never known to exist during the war, the Mahavi was first discovered sometime in 130 AS (the exact date is unknown) after one of the first known Atemi evolved. According to research and testing done, there are no special requirements for the evolution, merely experience and training, which are two things that almost all pokegirls attain while in the harem of a pokegirl tamer anyway. Physically, the pokegirl does change by a fair amount, gaining a good half foot in height and growing proportionately in all aspects. It appears that the growth is a result of the body's need to accomodate the largest change in the pokegirl herself: underneath the pokegirl's arms, another pair of arms emerge. However, the evolution does affect the pokegirl's arms in a very meaningful way, actually removing the limitations of the bones and joints, leaving the pokegirl with what has been termed as 'freejoints'. Typically, these are what some flying-type pokegirls (typically those based off of avian ancestry) have that allows their legs and bodies to move in peculiar ways without breaking that particular body part. Where, for example, a human arm might break if bent completely backwards or rotated too far in one direction, or if the elbow suddenly was forced in the wrong direction, a pokegirl with freejoints can move their limbs in such manners without coming to undue harm or pain. In this pokegirl breed, however, the arms are freejointed. This allows the Mahavi to fight both in front and behind her, thanks to such an enhancement, along with the enhanced ANPPM system of the Atemi that remains even after evolving. The Omni-Directional ANPPM, as researchers have designated it, provide the Mahavi with a 360-degree field of vision with her specialized style of vision, which makes it very nearly impossible to approach her undetected without the aid of magic or psychic techniques to distract or obscure the pokegirl's vision. If there is a weakness to the ODANPPM's ability to see things, it has not yet been discovered, though research continues.

The combination of the Mahavi's sight and her freejointed arms allow her to fight opponents both before and behind her, with the extended field of vision giving the pokegirl the capacity to parry and defend herself from pokegirls that attempt to ambush or backstab her. Although the pokegirl's bipedal movement is still restricted to that of the breed's pre-evolution, the Mahavi's control of her sight and her choice of battling skills often make the difference in a closed-in or even surrounded environment. Each arm is a bit stronger than they were when the pokegirl was an Atemi, and brings the Mahavi into direct comparison with the Amachamp pokegirl breed. With four hands available to the pokegirl now, several have been found to utilize a number of different weapons to protect herself, and her tamer, with, and her new battle techniques allow the pokegirl to easily battle at range. The breed's own use of Quagmire Twister is considered the pokegirl's distinctive technique, able to use the attack twice as long as almost any other pokegirl thanks to having twice the amount of ammunition to use with it (using four hands instead of two to provide the ammunition provides double the standard amount used by other pokegirls that utilize it). In sex battles, the Mahavi is quite useful as well, able to use her abilities much as she would in a closed-in environment. This even lets confident Mahavi and her tamer to win against even two to one odds in such a battle, thanks in great part to the Mahavi's four hands being capable of independant movement.

In harems, the Mahavi are quite welcomed in most tamer's opinions. Outside of a tamer's harem, however, the Mahavi is quite useful in medical professions as well. Though they are adept in construction roles, the breed suffers from being looked down upon by her breed sisters, the Amachoke and Amachamp, who are also quite excellent when working in the same field. Most companies that deal with housing or commercial construction do not allow for teams with either breeds to work with each other on a single project, for on several ocassions there have been impromptu battles that have ocurred on a construction site in several leagues. On that note, tamers have found that it is very nearly impossible to retain both a Mahavi and an Amachamp in active status within the same harem without the same difficulties, and only the most foolhardy (or inexperienced) tamers have been known to try it. Most tamers that survive compare, and complain, that the animosity between the sister breeds rivals or perhaps surpasses that of the rivalry between the Demon-Goddess and Neo Iczel breeds. No researcher has taken up the standing challenge to actually make direct comparisons, however.

Feral-born Mahavi are unknown, so all information that is of a feral Mahavi is only known by way of researchers allowing one of these pokegirls go feral on purpose. Feral Mahavi lose much of their intelligence, but retain enough to be considered cunning as they act much like, if not exactly like, feral Atemi are known to. They exhibit the typical Atemi feral behaviors, such as claiming a territory and fighting any and all pokegirls that intrude upon it. Their primal minds also lose much of the coordination that allows the pokegirl to be such a powerful fighter, and combined with the pokegirl's lack of control over her ODANPPM, leave the Mahavi incapable of fighting off pokegirls or others behind her. If one is found feral, it is highly recommended to approach the Mahavi from behind or to attempt to trap her before she can discover someone is near her. Threshold cases have never been known before records were kept of such things, and there are no recorded instances of such threshold cases since.
