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.
A frozen one was dug up from soil dating back 10,000 years. It woke up to much amazement.
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.
| Damage | Types |
|---|---|
| 2x (Weak) | Fire, Water, Grass, Fighting, Steel |
| 0.5x (Resist) | Poison |
| 0x (Immune) | Electric |
- Fairy type does not exist — Dragon has fewer checks
