[SET]
Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Name: Choice Band (Ground)
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Icicle Crash
- Ice Shard
- Knock Off

[SET COMMENTS]
Mamoswine is a great offensive option for Ground teams thanks to its huge Attack stat, access to priority, and unique STAB combination. Mamoswine's ability, Thick Fat, also allows for it to act as an extremely valuable resistance to Ice, meaning it can switch into foes like Articuno. Icicle Crash shreds Grass-type Pokemon, such as Amoonguss and Sinistcha, and Flying-type Pokemon, such as Mandibuzz and Gliscor, that would otherwise resist or be immune to Ground-type moves. Icicle Crash is extremely threatening to Flying-type teams in particular, as most Flying-type Pokemon are 2HKOed by Icicle Crash, meaning there are no safe switchins. Ice Shard is a fantastic priority move that allows Mamoswine to stand its ground against faster Pokemon such as both Landorus formes, Cyclizar, Meowscarada, and Dragapult. Knock Off is a good final option to help deal with walls that may take a bit more time to whittle down, such as Dondozo and Corviknight, as well as create permanent progress against Pokemon such as Baxcalibur and Articuno, which both rely heavily on their items, whether it be offensively or defensively.

Mamoswine greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Pokemon like Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO or an opportunity for an OHKO on lots of Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Meowscarada with Ice Shard, Icicle Crash on Corviknight, and Earthquake on Toxapex and Amoonguss. Clodsire is a good teammate for Mamoswine, as it can switch in to Water- and Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Sneasler, and Walking Wake that would otherwise make quick work of Mamoswine, as well as provide Toxic and entry hazard support. Iron Treads is another good teammate for Mamoswine, as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Mamoswine from being chipped down, as well as setts up hazards of its own. Alternatively, Choice Scarf Iron Treads outspeeds and hits Iron Valiant and Flutter Mane, which both threaten Mamoswine, for super effective damage. Choice Scarf Great Tusk is another teammate that pairs well with Mamoswine. Great Tusk is able to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon that check Mamoswine such as Choice Specs Greninja and Cinderace. Once faster threats have been taken care of, Mamoswine will have an easy time breaking the opposing team with its extremely powerful attacks. Ursaluna-B is a great teammate for Mamoswine, as it can absorb status conditions from Pokemon like Rotom-W and Sableye, as well as threatening them back with its extremely powerful Blood Moon. Ursaluna-B is also capable of using Vacuum wave to snipe Chien-Pao. Gliscor can also absorb status moves, as well as absorbing status moves and Fighting-type attacks that Mamoswine does not want to deal with. Gliscor is also able to support Mamoswine with Spikes and Toxic. Landorus forms a potent offensive core with Mamoswine, destroying Physical walls such as Quagsire and Slowbro, while Mamoswine deals with special walls such as Gliscor and Gastrodon. Additionally, Landorus can set Gravity for Mamoswine so that it can freely spam Earthquake. Lastly, Sandy Shocks is capable of dealing with Pokemon such as Pelipper and Corviknight, as well as providing hazard and Gravity support. Mamoswine easily takes care of the Ground-types that would wall Sandy Shocks.

[STRATEGY COMMENTS]
Other Options
=============
Stone Edge slices through Articuno, Moltres, and Baxcalibur. A Jolly nature lets Mamoswine outrun maximum Speed Heatran and Cloyster and Speed tie with maximum Speed Hoopa-U and Gallade at the cost of considerable power, no longer guaranteeing a 2HKO on Quagsire for instance.
Heavy Slam can make Galarian Weezing an unsafe switch-in as well as OHKO Hatterene.

Mamoswine is a great offensive option for Ground-type teams thanks to it's its huge Attack stat, access to priority, and unique STAB combination. Mamoswine's ability, Thick Fat, also allows for it to act as an extremely valuable Ice-type resistance (meaning it can switch into things like Articuno), along with getting a buff to its Defense thanks to Snow (don't think this is particularly relevant or useful for Ground). Earthquake is Mamoswine's strongest, most spammable Ground-type STAB (Obvious, could remove. If you want to keep this sentence list some calcs where CB EQ is particularly useful, e.g. OHKOing Kingambit, 2HKOing Quag). Icicle Crash shreds Grass-type Pokemon such as Amoonguss and Sinistcha, and Flying-type Pokemon such as Mandibuzz and Gliscor that would otherwise resist or be immune to Ground-type moves. Icicle Crash is extremely threatening to Flying-type teams in particular, as most Flying-type Pokemon are 2HKO'd by Icicle Crash, meaning there are no safe switch-ins. Ice Shard is a fantastic priority move that allows Mamoswine to stand it's its ground against faster Pokemon such as Landorus, Cyclizar, and Meowscarada (and Dragapult). Knock Off is a good final option to help deal with walls that may take a bit more time to whittle down, such as Dondozo and Articuno (also creates permanent progress against mons like Corv and Baxcalibur by removing items, which can either defensively or offensively cripple them).

Mamoswine greatly appreciates entry hazard support from Pokemon like Quagsire, as the extra damage could be the difference between a 2HKO or a roll and a 1HKO on lots of Pokemon such as Flutter Mane and Meowscarada with Ice Shard, Icicle Crash on Corviknight, and Earthquake on Toxapex and Amoonguss. Clodsire is a good teammate for Mamoswine, as it can switch in to Water- and Fighting-type attacks from Pokemon like Urshifu-R, Sneasler, and Azumarill, that would otherwise make quick work of Mamoswine, as well as providing Toxic (Spikes) or hazard support. Iron Treads is another good teammate for Mamoswine, as it keeps hazards off the field in order to prevent Mamoswine from taking more damage being chipped down, as well as setting up hazards of it's its own (Scarf Treads hits Flutter Mane and Iron Valiant who both threaten Mamo). Finally, (Avoid "finally", implies list of teammates here is exhaustive) Choice Scarf Great Tusk is another teammate that pairs well with Mamoswine. Great Tusk is able to outspeed and OHKO Pokemon that check Mamoswine such as Choice Specs Greninja, Urshifu-S, Iron Valiant, and Cinderace. Once faster threats have been taken care of, Mamoswine will have an easy time breaking the opposing team with its extremely powerful attacks. (Ursaluna-B can absorb burns from foes such as Rotom-W and Sableye and threaten them in return with its powerful STABs; can also pick off Chien-Pao with Vacuum Wave.) (Gliscor absorbs status and Fighting moves aimed at Mamoswine and supports it with Spikes and Toxic, while appreciating Mamoswine taking care of Flying-types such Dragonite.) (Landorus can form an offensive core with Mamoswine, blasting through physical walls such as Slowbro and Quagsire while Mamoswine breaks special walls such as Gliscor and Blissey and threatens Meowscarada; can also set Gravity for Mamo.) (Sandy Shocks nukes Corv and Pelipper while setting either Gravity or hazards for Mamo; Mamo threatens opposing Ground-types such as Garchomp in return.)

Lastly, Sandy Shocks is capable of dealing with Pokemon such as Pelipper and Corviknight, as well as providing hazard and gravity support.

*Heavy Slam can make Weezing-G impossible to swap into it, as well as outright kill Hatterene (or 2HKO if screens are up, oh well), but since these are just two targets its super niche)
