Mamoswine.
# 473.
Type: Ice / Ground.
Ability: Oblivious / Snow cloak.
Locations: Evolve Piloswine. (Diamond, Pearl).
Hi everyone. Welcome to another Pokémon of the
Week. Today we’re reviewing Mamoswine, the Twin tusk Pokémon.
Mamoswine is a pretty interesting Pokémon, not
very used because of its type combination I think, but it has
potential, specially because its big attack and HP stats, it can
be used as you standard physical sweeper, and it’s a pretty good
curser.
As I said on our last review, snow cloak is
great. It raises evasion during hailstorm and that’s where you
take advantage of specific situations. If you are using a hail
team or just use hail at any point your opponent will either
take the risk of failing or switching. Oblivious is not that
good, preventing attraction is not that popular these days.
Let’s move on to the move combinations, let’s see
what’s up with this guy…
Mamoswine.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Leftovers.
EV´s: 252 HP, 252 Attack, 6 Defense.
- Curse
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Hail
Meant to be used if you have snow cloak because
of Hail. If you are using the oblivious ability then switch hail
for rest and leftovers for chesto berry. It is a simple curser.
Use hail and Curse, then sweep.
Mamoswine.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
Equip: Choice band.
EV´s: 252 HP, 252 Attack, 6 Defense.
- Double edge
- Earthquake
- Avalanche
- Stone edge
This choice bander is a very common hit and
runner, it is simple and powerful, but slow, so keep that in
mind, if you can baton pass some speed that’s be great, and
using hail and snow cloak can give you a couple extra turns for
sweeping.
When should I use this Pokémon?
It is always a nice surprise having an uncommon
Pokémon battling against you, it isn’t a tourney Pokémon, but it
can be fun to use this season in Battle Revolution maybe.
What should I use against this Pokémon?
Skarmory could be a problem; fast water special
sweepers as Starmie are deadly for Mamoswine as well. Overall
you can take it down hitting hard and fast, as it doesn’t have a
very good special defense.
Bottom line:
Stay tuned for next week’s review a Chistmas
Special for you and I hope you will have a good time reading it
before the big guy in red comes…
