Mamoswine is an Ice/Ground-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

Type: Ice / Ground

Abilities:

• Oblivious: Prevents Mamoswine from becoming infatuated or being affected by Taunt.
• Snow Cloak: Raises evasion in a hailstorm.
• Thick Fat (Hidden Ability): Reduces the damage taken from Fire and Ice-type moves by 50%.

Physical Characteristics:

• Mamoswine is a large, mammoth-like Pokémon covered in thick, brown fur that helps it withstand icy climates.
• It has a pair of large, curved tusks that protrude from its mouth, made of solid ice.
• Its eyes are small and blue, and it has a large, pig-like snout.
• Mamoswine's body is robust, supported by four sturdy legs designed for traveling through snowy terrains.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Mamoswine typically resides in cold, mountainous regions and tundras where snow and ice are abundant.
• As a herd animal, it often travels with other Mamoswine and their pre-evolutions, Piloswine and Swinub.
• It is known to be a gentle giant but can be fiercely protective of its herd.
• Mamoswine is believed to have been around since the Ice Age and is well-adapted to glacial environments.

In Battle:

• Mamoswine is a powerful physical attacker with high Attack and HP stats.
• Signature moves include Icicle Crash and Earthquake, which leverage its dual typing for STAB (Same Type Attack Bonus) damage.
• It is particularly effective against Dragon, Flying, and Electric types, thanks to its Ice and Ground typing.
• However, Mamoswine is vulnerable to Water, Grass, Fighting, Steel, and Fire-type moves.
• It often utilizes moves like Ice Shard for priority attacks and Stealth Rock for setting entry hazards.

Evolution:

• Mamoswine evolves from Piloswine when it levels up while knowing the move Ancient Power.
• Piloswine itself evolves from Swinub starting at level 33.

Interesting Facts:

• Mamoswine's design is inspired by the woolly mammoth, an extinct species that roamed ancient Earth.
• Its dual typing and strong physical presence make it a popular choice in competitive battling, especially in formats where it can exploit its Ground and Ice coverage.
• The tusks of Mamoswine are said to be made of ice that has been frozen solid for tens of thousands of years.

• Sword: This Pokémon can be spotted in wall paintings from as far back as 10,000 years ago. For a while, it was thought to have gone extinct.
• Shield: It looks strong, and that’s exactly what it is. As the weather grows colder, its ice tusks grow longer, thicker, and more impressive.
• Legends-Arceus: This species reached its zenith during the period known as the ice age. I suspect that Hisui's frigid climate is in harmony with Mamoswine's constitution, thus awakening hidden potential.
