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 of coloration around their 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 in coloration, with three thick claws, and its tail is small. Mamoswine exhibits a few Template:Type2 characteristics, such as its sturdy body and powerful physique.
Gender differences
A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.
Special abilities
Mamoswine have incredibly strong physical force. 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).
Behavior
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.
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's Pokédex entry is a reference to how woolly mammoths became extinct.
Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only Template:Type2s not weak to Rock, due to their part Ground-typing. However, they are also the only Ice-types weak to Water.
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 aide of an ability.
Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: Fire, Water, and Grass.
Tied with Kyurem, Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any Ice-type.
Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a woolly mammoth and a boar.
Name origin
Mamoswine is a combination mammoth and swine. Mammoo may be a combination of mammoth and ぶう ぶう bū bū, an onomatopoeia for oinking. It could also be a reference to what its cry sounds like in the games.
