Mamoswine is an incredible Choice Band user for Ground-type teams thanks to its raw power and excellent STAB coverage, making it a force to be reckoned with. Ice Shard helps it pick off faster Pokemon that can threaten it, such as Thundurus-T, Enamorus, and Latias. Knock Off heavily weakens Pokemon reliant on their items, such as Corviknight, Porygon2, and Celesteela, making them much easier for Mamoswine to take advantage of later on. Alternatively, Superpower is Mamoswine’s best option for beating bulky Pokemon such as Blissey, Ferrothorn, and Rotom-W. Landorus is an outstanding teammate for Mamoswine to have, as it can threaten physical walls Mamoswine would rather not face, such as Mega Venusaur, Tapu Fini, and Slowbro, and help it beat Ground-immune Pokemon such as Skarmory and Rotom-W with Gravity. Scale Shot Mega Garchomp and Sand Rush Excadrill appreciate Mamoswine wearing down bulky Pokemon such as Celesteela and Gliscor for them to clean up late-game. Ting-Lu and Hippowdon help Mamoswine do its job more effectively by setting up entry hazards, allowing it to net more KOs. They also can rack up chip damage with Whirlwind, and Hippowdon sets sand for further residual damage. Clodsire and Gastrodon can safely switch into Water-type moves that threaten Mamoswine, and they can set hazards to help its wallbreaking. Clodsire, in particular, is able to switch into Grass-type attacks from the likes of Choice Scarf Meowscarada, Ogerpon-W, and Brambleghast, and it can inflict status and set Toxic Spikes up, limiting the longevity of stall Pokemon such as Slowbro, Ting-Lu, and Blissey.Gastrodon is an excellent Water Absorb user that can ease up Water-type matchups for Mamoswine, as it can safely wall Water-type Pokemon such as Choice Specs Walking Wake, Dondozo, and Mega Swampert with the proper moveset to take advantage of later on.
