By virtue of its beefy Attack stat and amazing offensive typing, Mamoswine is a massively threatening wallbreaker in UU. Its access to STAB Ice Shard allows it to apply heavy pressure to a bevy of faster threats, including Noivern, Celebi, Roserade, and Haxorus. Alongside its powerful STAB moves, Knock Off provides super effective coverage against an otherwise counter in Bronzong. It also burdens several switch-ins, such as Golisopod, Mantine, and Galarian Weezing, with the removal of their items, making them easier to power through. Stealth Rock allows Mamoswine to support its team by chipping foes, but it should only be used if it can't be fit elsewhere on the team due to Knock Off's utility. Heavy Slam over Icicle Crash can work as a way of luring in and KOing Galarian Weezing, though this often proves too situational to fit. A Jolly nature allows Mamoswine to outrun a few key threats, including Toxtricity and Adamant Tsareena, while Speed tying with Timid Gardevoir and Chandelure. Adamant is an option too, letting Mamoswine more reliably take on Pokemon like Haxorus, Celebi, and Rotom-C with Ice Shard.
Mamoswine works best on offensive builds thanks to the several useful traits it offers, such as its wallbreaking capabilities, strong priority, and additional utility with Knock Off or Stealth Rock. Sweepers like Lucario and Haxorus enjoy Mamoswine's ability to weaken opposing teams for them to clean up late-game as well as its revenge killing capabilities against opposing sweepers with Ice Shard. Stealth Rock setters like Cobalion, Bronzong, and Necrozma can take on Galarian Weezing while freeing up its fourth slot for Knock Off. Roserade provides particularly useful support, setting Spikes while taking on bulky Water-types and Galarian Weezing. Due to its longevity issues, Mamoswine also enjoys support from pivots capable of safely bringing it in, like Incineroar, Heliolisk, and Rotom-C. Noivern is particularly helpful for its ability to cover for Mamoswine's shabby Speed, pressuring big threats to it like Inteleon and Golisopod. Sticky Web from Araquanid or Ribombee is also appreciated if it can be fitted, patching up Mamoswine's paltry Speed and letting it threaten offense teams even more heavily.
