Mamoswine (Japanese: マンムー Mammoo) is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves from Piloswine when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power. It is the final form of Swinub.

Biology

Mamoswine is a large, quadrupedal Pokémon resembling a wooly mammoth crossed with a boar. Its brown fur is very thick to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice. Its tusks, which are smaller on a female Mamoswine than on a male, are made of pure, solid ice. Mamoswine has a blue mask-like pattern with a white rim around its face and eyes, resembling ski goggles. The fur on its muzzle is tan and shaggy, and its nose resembles that of a pig. Mamoswine's feet are black with three thick toes, and its tail is small.

It can endure harsh cold and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen reviving. Mamoswine lived all around the world during the last ice age, but its population thinned when the climate grew warmer. Mamoswine inhabits cold places, such as mountainous regions and frozen tundra. Weavile is a natural predator of Mamoswine.

Trivia

• Mamoswine's Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, SoulSilver, Black 2, White 2 and Y Pokédex entries are a reference to how woolly mammoths became extinct.
• Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both Generation II and Generation III if it had existed, as Piloswine could learn Ancient Power in both generations. It shares this trait with Lickilicky.
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions.
  • Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are also the only Pokémon weak to the types of all three starter Pokémon.
    • Also, if it knows Freeze-Dry, which its pre-evolution Swinub can learn by breeding, Mamoswine can have STAB super-effective moves on the types of all three starter Pokémon.

Origin

Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a woolly mammoth and a wild boar. The blue around its eyes also resembles ski goggles.

Name origin

Mamoswine is a combination of mammoth and swine.

Mammoo may be a combination of mammoth and ぶうぶう būbū (onomatopoeia for oinking).
