Dawn's Mamoswine: Difference between revisions

While still a Swinub, it was not used very much due to its relative lack of battling and Contest experience. In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', Swinub watched its first {{pkmn|Contest}} when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Swinub evolved into Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving Piloswine was initially still very affectionate towards Dawn, as seen in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' where it tackled her to the ground out of affection. This affection would be short lived, however.

Its personality drastically changed in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''. Just two episodes after evolving, Piloswine started to develop an indifference towards Dawn and became prone to disobedience. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub. It felt that it wasn't weak and was very powerful. On numerous occasions it tried to attack Dawn or her Pokémon. It attacked {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for touching its fur presumptuously, and tried to attack Dawn with {{m|Ice Shard}}, instead freezing half the body of {{AP|Grotle}} who tried to stop it from rampaging. Dawn agreed to have a battle with her Piloswine and Grotle. However, it ignored Dawn's commands and used {{m|AncientPower}} instead.
