Mamoswine is a Ice/Ground dual-type, rendering it immune to damage from both Hail and Sandstorm weather effects. While other Pokemon can have their Focus Sash broken by these conditions, Mamoswine's immunity to them makes it a prime user of the item. With its priority move Ice Shard, it can often deal the final blow even against fast opponents.
The Jolly nature is recommended for outspeeding Mimikyu, but Adamant is also possible when prioritizing high damage over all.
| Superpower | For dealing with the likes of Tyranitar and Ferrothorn. Can defeat Tyranitar in one blow and Ferrothorn in two. |
|---|---|
| Iron Head | Mostly used as Max Steelspike while Dynamaxed to raise Defense. Foes which are weak to Steel are often weak to Ice or Ground as well. |
| Icicle Spear | For situations where multi-hit attacks are effective, such as against Mimikyu and Focus Sash-wearing opponents. However, the inconsistent damage rate makes it difficult to rely on. |
| Stealth Rock | A support move which it's guaranteed to be able to pull off thanks to Focus Sash. Recommended pairing with Oblivious ability to avoid deactivation from Taunt. |
| Nature | Jolly (+Spd, -SpAtk) |
|---|---|
| EV Spread | Atk. 252 / Spd. 252 / HP 4 |
| Final Stat Values | HP 186 / Atk. 182 / Def. 100 / Sp.Def. 80 / Spd. 145 |
| Ability | Thick Fat |
| Held Item | Choice Scarf |
| Moveset | ・Icicle Crash ・Earthquake ・Stone Edge ・Superpower |
By making Mamoswine hold a Choice Scarf, its originally middle-to-high Speed is increased to allow it to strike first more frequently.
With the reduced number of Pokemon in this generation's metagame, the number of Pokemon with a similar speed to Mamoswine are extremely frequent. This allows Mamoswine more opportunities to outspeed with Choice Scarf and deal super effective damage with Ice and Ground-type moves.
| Iron Head | Mostly used as Max Steelspike while Dynamaxed to raise Defense. Foes which are weak to Steel are often weak to Ice or Ground as well. |
|---|---|
| Icicle Spear | For situations where multi-hit attacks are effective, such as against Mimikyu and Focus Sash-wearing opponents. However, the inconsistent damage rate makes it difficult to rely on. |
Mamoswine gets STAB on the Ice and Ground types, two of the best attacking types, with a total of nine types taking super effective damage from the two types combined. Together with its high Attack, Mamoswine can use the priority move Ice Shard to hit first and hit many powerful Pokemon in their weak spot before they can move. These properties allow Mamoswine wide coverage against a variety of tough opponents.
