Stats & Training

The stat line revolves around Attack. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. HP backs it up, though Sp. Def doesn't pull its weight. Worth 3 Attack EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind to max out.

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.

Mamoswine Weakness

Fire, Water, Grass, Fighting, and Steel moves hit Mamoswine for super-effective damage. The upside? Electric-type moves can't touch it at all. Thick Fat reduces Fire/Ice damage, further improving the defensive spread.

The recommended build leans into Mamoswine's strengths as a physical attacker. Life Orb provides extra damage on every hit for a health trade, and max Attack and Speed EVs back that up. Thickfat rounds out the package.

Mamoswine Guide

  • In Legends: Arceus, Mamoswine looks average on paper at 530 BST. But Thick Fat is why it sees play. Build around that and it pulls its weight. B-Tier wallbreaker on our tier list. Earthquake with Life Orb is the standard set.

  • In Legends: Arceus, watch for Arcanine (Fire), Swampert (Water), and Roserade (Grass) when using Mamoswine. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Fighting and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter.

  • Mamoswine gets Thick Fat, Oblivious, and Snow Cloak. But Thick Fat is the one that matters. It's the centerpiece of every viable set. Build around that.

  • Mamoswine is a physical attacker with base 130 Attack. Enough bulk to take a hit or two, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 80 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.

  • In Legends: Arceus, run Earthquake, Iciclecrash, Ice Shard, and Knock Off on Mamoswine. Earthquake is the most common pick at 25% usage. Earthquake provides reliable STAB damage.

Game Availability

Debuting in Diamond & Pearl, Mamoswine appears in 13 games across 7 generations. A reliable presence in a solid number of games, typically found through wild encounters.
