thick fat level the playing field for Mamoswine and unlock new new possibilities for it like the OP said they made a good Pokemon better.
That, and the only two things I can think of that won't take a beating from Mamoswine's STAB options would be Bronzong and Skarmory. Superpower always did seem an odd option that was more for filler.Well, Superpower has always been kinda superfluous, as it has somewhat redundant coverage with Swine's uber-powerful STAB EQ.
Unless you're finishing either off, it's a terrible option in general to attack Skarm or Zong, frankly. both superpower and Icicle Drop do lol to both actually.I just realized how exclusive Icicle Drop's distribution is.
Anyway, w/ STAB Icicle Drop Mammo has a drawback-free move that hits Skarmory harder than Superpower.
Superpower would still be his strongest option against Bronzong though.
Not to mention Bronzong can just set up or Gyro Ball you, and Skarmory will just laugh and Roost up or drop some Spikes. Come to think of it, the only Pokemon in my memory that Superpower would hit harder than Mamo's STAB other than those two, aside from Balloon Heatran or the like, would be Nattorei.Unless you're finishing either off, it's a terrible option in general to attack Skarm or Zong, frankly. both superpower and Icicle Drop do lol to both actually.
might wanna run SRYou're all very true. I was keeping the same mindset for my hail team as I was for normal Swine -- keep as many pokemon with fighting moves as possible for Ttar lol. Plus I usually ran bright powder for extra hax with Snow Cloak, so couldn't run LO to 1hko 4HP Ttar w/ EQ. Even Nattorei is neutral to both his STAB types, so a fighting move is unnecessary. Looks like I've got another move slot on my Swine ^^.
It was the reason Superpower was run, to be able to do something to them in a pinch (lol better than non).Unless you're finishing either off, it's a terrible option in general to attack Skarm or Zong, frankly. both superpower and Icicle Drop do lol to both actually.
Terrible coverageMamoswine's in the Ground egg group, so any combination of Egg moves can be obtained via Smeargle.
As for a fourth move, how about Icicle Spear? It's reasonably useful for getting around Yache, Subs, Sashes and Sturdy. (But mostly for the childish glee produced from having three damaging moves of the same type on a 'mon.)
Pokemon that resist Ice+GroundIce/Ground already has good coverage. I think it's only resisted by skarm and brong. With leaves two empty slots. To bad Mamo has a really bad movepool. QQ
