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

It evolves from Piloswine when leveled up while knowing AncientPower. Interestingly, Piloswine cannot learn Ancient Power unless relearned from a Move Tutor. It is the final evolution of Swinub.

Biology

Physiology

Mamoswine resembles a W crossed with a boar. Mamoswine's brown fur is very thick to endure harsh cold and protect from snow and ice, thus explaining their Snow Cloak 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 their muzzle is tan and shaggy, and their nose, like their pre-evolutions, is also pig-like, if somewhat less so. Mamoswine's feet are black in coloration, with three thick claws, and Mamoswine's tail is small. Mamoswine exhibit a few Template:Type2 characteristics such as their sturdy body and powerful physiques.

Gender differences

A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

Special abilities

Mamoswine have incredibly strong physical force. Their study body and feet enable them to cross even the most dense and dry snow. Mamoswine are able to endure harsh winters 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.

Habitat

Mamoswine lived in the northern W during the last ice age, but reduced in numbers when the climate grew warmer.

Trivia

• Mamoswine's Pokédex entry is a reference to how woolly mammoths became extinct.
• Not counting the Psyduck line, Cleffa line and Rayquaza, who have an ability that negates weather effects or damage from them, Mamoswine's evolutionary chain are the only Pokémon that are immune to both Sandstorm and Hail.
• Mamoswine and its pre-evolutions are the only Template:Type2s not weak to Rock, due to their part Ground-typing.
• Mamoswine is the last Ground-type Pokémon in National Pokédex order as of Generation IV.
• Mamoswine's evolutionary chain is the only Pokémon weak to all three starter Pokémon primary types: Fire, Water, and Grass.
• Mamoswine has the highest Attack of any Ice-type.
  • Incidentally, its Avalanche after being hit would be the most powerful physical move of any Template:Type2s. This would be a parallel to Glaceon's Blizzard.
• Mamoswine would have been obtainable in both Generation II and Generation III if it had existed, as in both there was a possible way to get a Piloswine that had AncientPower. It shares this trait with Lickilicky.

Origin

Mamoswine appears to be based on a combination of a woolly mammoth and a boar.
