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

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

Biology

Mamoswine resembles 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. 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 claws, 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.

Trivia

• Mamoswine's Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, SoulSilver and Y Pokédex entries are a reference to how woolly mammoths became extinct.
• 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 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 Pokémon weak to the types of all three starter Pokémon.

Origin

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

Name origin

Mamoswine is a combination of mammoth and swine.

Mammoo may be a combination of mammoth and ぶうぶう būbū (onomatopoeia for oinking).
