How to Evolve
Breeding
Maushold is genderless — breed with Ditto to produce Tandemaus eggs. Part of the Fairy and Ground egg groups.
Ditto onlySV Maushold Best Moveset
MovePopulation Bomb hits 1-10 times, and AbilityTechnician boosts it by 50% since the per-hit power is under 60. Held ItemWide Lens improves the 90% accuracy. NatureJolly at 111 Speed outspeeds most of the format. The moveset fires Technician-boosted Population Bomb that averages 5 hits. One 10-hit roll ends any game. B-Tier through Population Bomb variance.

Maushold Scarlet & Violet Guide
In Scarlet & Violet, Technician changes the entire equation for Maushold. The 470 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot. Populationbomb with Wide Lens is the standard set.
In Scarlet & Violet, watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Maushold. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Maushold's base 111 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Technician is what you want on Maushold. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Friend Guard, Cheek Pouch) work on paper but Technician is what makes Maushold worth using.
Base 111 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Maushold is a physical attacker with base 75 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.
In Scarlet & Violet, run Populationbomb, Tidyup, Bite, and Encore on Maushold. Populationbomb is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Maushold joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
