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. Mamoswine is believed to have hidden potential that was awakened by the cold climate.
Evolution
Mamoswine evolves from Piloswine and is the final form of Swinub.
This species reached its zenith during the period known as the ice age. I suspect that Hisui's frigid climate is in harmony with Mamoswine's constitution, thus awakening hidden potential.
The cold of the snowfields has hardened Mamoswine’s icy tusks, making them strong enough to withstand even Beartic’s claws. Swinub must feel much safer when they’re with Mamoswine.
Dawn has a Mamoswine, which evolved from a Piloswine in A Breed Stampede!, which also marked the species' main series debut. There was a time where Mamoswine would not listen to Dawn's commands, but it eventually realized how deeply she cared for it in Trials and Adulations! and started obeying her. Since then, Mamoswine became a reliable partner and was used in many Contest Battles.
Mamoswine, the Twin Tusk Pokémon and the evolved form of Piloswine. Distinguished by its large tusks, its weight is more than five times that of Piloswine, and is less commonly found since the end of the ice age.
Mamoswine, the Twin Tusk Pokémon. Since the ice age, the Mamoswine population has gotten smaller as the climate has warmed. Its tusks are made from ice.
Mamoswine is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee defender that starts as Swinub and evolves into Piloswine at level 5, which evolves into Mamoswine at level 9.
Mamoswine appears to be a combination of a woolly mammoth and a wild boar; this combination of features appears to imitate the freatures of the mangalica, a breed of Sus domesticus, known for its wooly hide. The white and blue mask around its eyes resembles ski goggles. Its Groundtype may be derived from the fact that the word "mammoth" comes from the Russian word "ма́монт", which itself originates from the Mansi words "ма̄" (earth) and "а̄ньт" (horn). The Ice type, however, may come from the association of mammoths with an ice age. Its Shiny form's green coloration may be a reference to jade jewelry, an art that dates back to ancient times, in which elephants are commonly depicted. This is further supported by the fact that Mamoswine originated in the Hisui region, with 翡翠 (hisui) meaning "jade" in Japanese. Also, Mamoswine is based on an ancient creature, and must know the move Ancient Power to be able to evolve from its previous form.
Name origin
Mamoswine may be a combination of mammoth and swine.
Mammoo may be a combination of mammoth and ブーブー būbū (onomatopoeia for oinking).
