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

It evolves from Piloswine when leveled up while knowing AncientPower. It is the final evolution of Swinub.

Biology

Physiology

Mamoswine resembles a wooly mammoth crossed with a boar. Mamoswine's brown fur is very thick to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice, thus explaining both their Snow Cloak Ability and Thick Fat Hidden Ability. Their tusks are made of pure, solid ice, and their massive body size is also helpful in preserving their own body heat. Mamoswine has a mask-like pattern around its face, with a white rim and blue inside. The fur on its muzzle is tan and shaggy, and its nose, like its pre-evolutions', is also pig-like, if somewhat less so. Mamoswine's feet are black, with three thick claws, and its tail is small. Mamoswine exhibits a few Ground-type characteristics, such as its sturdy body and powerful physique.

Gender differences

A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

Special abilities

Mamoswine are incredibly strong. Their sturdy body and feet enable them to cross even the most dense and dry snow. Mamoswine are able to endure harsh cold and hunger for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up, much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

Thanks to its dual Ice/Ground typing, Mamoswine is the only fully evolved Pokémon not affected by either Hail or Sandstorm (not including Pokémon who have abilities that negate weather effects).

Habitat

Mamoswine lived all around the world during the last ice age, but its population thinned when the climate grew warmer. Some have been known to survive frozen for over 10,000 years. Though rare, wild Mamoswine can found in Unova's Giant Chasm.

Trivia

• Mamoswine's Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and SoulSilver Pokédex entries are a reference to how woolly mammoths became extinct.
• Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only Ice-types not weak to Rock, due to their part Ground-typing. However, they are also the only Ice types weak to Water-type moves.
• Due to their unique typing, Mamoswine and its evolutionary family are the only Pokémon that are resistant to damage from all types of weather effects without the aid of an Ability.
• Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: Fire, Water, and Grass.
  • They may lose their weakness to Fire through their hidden Ability, Thick Fat.
• Mamoswine and its evolutionary family can hit the most Pokémon with a super effective move they gain STAB from, with nine: Flying, Poison, Ground, Rock, Steel, Fire, Grass, Electric, and Dragon.
• Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any non-legendary Ice-type Pokémon.
• Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both Generation II and Generation III if it had existed, as it was possible for Piloswine to learn AncientPower in both generations. It shares this trait with Lickilicky.
• Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only Ice-type Pokémon in the brown color group.
• Mamoswine is the heaviest Ice-type Pokémon.
