[SET COMMENTS]
Mamoswine has a great Attack stat, average Speed, a Ground typing that makes it a great Electric immunity, and a good movepool that makes it a powerful wallbreaker. Earthquake allows it to hit Poison- and Steel-types such as Toxapex and Bisharp. Ice Shard is a great priority move to get KOs on weakened Pokemon or get some chip damage if Mamoswine is low on health. Superpower makes Mamoswine able to heavily damage Ferrothorn. Mamoswine is a great wallbreaker that can be used at the beginning of the game to pressure common leads such as Ferrothorn and Hippowdon and force switches. Mamoswine is also useful for the endgame to pick up KOs on weakened Pokemon with Ice Shard. However, Mamoswine does not have the best bulk, so it is best to get in Mamoswine on a weak attack, on a predicted switch, or after a teammate has fainted.

Thanks to Mamoswine's Ground typing, it is able to take care of threatening Steel- and Rock-type Pokemon, which its teammates appreciate. Piloswine makes a great partner to set Stealth Rock, which makes it easier for Mamoswine to get KOs. Alolan Ninetales is great for being able to set up Aurora Veil, which helps Mamoswine wallbreak more freely. Choice Scarf Galarian Mr. Mime or Avalugg to help keep hazards from the field for the whole team with Rapid Spin. Cloyster and Kyurem-B loves Mamoswine due to it being able to take down threats such as Ferrothorn and Dragapult before Cloyster or Kyurem-B sets up. However, Mamoswine struggles to take Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as Dracovish and Seismitoad, so Lapras makes a great partner thanks to its Water Absorb and ability to do major damage to them with Freeze-Dry. Mamoswine also forms a good wallbreaking core with Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan against Steel-type teams due to the latter's access to Flare Blitz, Superpower, and Earthquake, ability to bring Mamoswine in safely with U-turn, and ability to provide speed control for the team and outpace threats such as Choice Scarf Excadrill.

-Mention also how base Lapras can offensively take on the Water-types Mamo hates (Rotom-W) because of Freeze-Dry.
-Perhaps mention a different, problematic Steel-type other than Exca? Scarf Exca can deal w/ non-Scarf Darm and Sand Rush Exca in Sand beats out Scarf Darm entirely, bar a change in weather through switching/Max Hailstorm. Content isn't specifically wrong but I feel as if it's tricky to say in this particular case.
-Change the Superpower target; Earthquake OHKOes Tyranitar just fine.
-Optional, but I'd prefer Stealth Rock > Superpower in that first slash for now unless other QC has input.

QC 1/2

Scrafty is unused, Ferrothorn is an example of what Superpower hits. You also mention it twice for some reason. Remove Stealth Rock from the set, I don't think Stealth Rock on Choice Band is worth it because Ice hates being Choice locked. Later down the road a Stealth Rock set for Mamoswine is possible but for now we're going with Choice Band. Mamoswine isn't solely a late game wallbreaker, it's very doable to send it out mid or early game to punch some holes, and then rely on Ice Shard or another sweeper like Choice Scarf Galarian Darmanitan to sweep. It doesn't take a quarter of its HP from Stealth Rock, Ground and Ice cancel each other so it takes 12.5%. Adamant is better than Jolly for Bisharp.

Frosmoth is.. not the best example as a setup sweeper, it's underwhelming. Cloyster can beat Tyranitar and Bisharp without much trouble, I think it carries Liquidation. I don't think Rotom-W is a good example of something Lapras helps Mamoswine with. Lapras is hardly a Rotom-W check or counter since it can just use Volt Switch or Thunderbolt if they're some jank Nasty Plot set. No hazard removers or Piloswine in team options is questionable too, as well as not talking about how other offensive Pokemon work together with Mamoswine to break down the team. Choice Scarf users should be talked about for Speed control because Mamoswine's not exactly fast.

I'm sorry, but there's too much incorrect information and you'd have to rewrite the entire analysis in order to make it adequate.

- Jolly isn’t used for anything in SS and is worse than Adamant so we as QC don’t think it’s necessary.

[SET COMMENTS]
- Superpower heavily dents Ferrothorn but it doesn’t OHKO since they mainly run Physically Defensive.
- You can get away with removing the line about the spread I feel.

- Let’s make the team options more concise. Mention Choice Scarf Mr. Mime for Rapid Spin and speed control, and just say how Rapid Spin users such as Avalugg and Mr. Mime can remove hazards for Mamoswine and Choice Scarf users like Weavile, Galarian Darmanitan, and Mr. Mime can outspeed Pokemon and name examples. Galarian Darmanitan can also bring Mamoswine in with U-turn. I don’t think you have to go so in depth especially since it’s a mini analysis. If you need help with the phrasing, feel free to PM me on discord and I’ll gladly help you.

This looks a lot better now, QC 1/2

Mention that Mamoswine's Ground-typing provides a useful Electric immunity as Ice has very few Electric resists (Piloswine, Rotom, Arctozolt).

Mention how Galarian Mr. Mime and Avalugg's Rapid Spin supports the entire team, not just Mamoswine, since Mamoswine's least worried about rocks due to its Ground-typing.

Mention Vanilluxe as an Aurora Veil setter which helps Mamoswine wallbreak more freely since it can take hits more easily under Veil.

Talk about Galarian Darmanitan's access to moves such as Flare Blitz, Earthquake, and Superpower which combined with Mamoswine's attacks forms a good core against Steel-type teams.

Thanks to Mamoswine's Ground-(RH) typing, it is able to take care of threatening Steel- and Rock-type Pokemon, (AC) which its teammates appreciate. Piloswine makes a great partner to set down Stealth Rock, which pressures how making times a Pokemon can switch in which makes it easier for Mamoswine to get KOs. Vanilluxe is great for being able to set up Aurora Veil, (AC) which helps Mamoswine wallbreak more freely. Choice Scarf Galarian Mr. Mime or Avalugg is needed as ito helps keep hazards from the field for the whole team with using Rapid Spin. Cloyster loves Mamoswine due to it being able to take down threats such as Ferrothorn and Dragapult before settingCloyster sets up. However, Mamoswine struggles to take Water-type attacks from Pokemon such as Dracovish and Seismitoad, so Lapras makes a great partner thanks to its Water Absorb and ableility to do major damage to them with Freeze-Dry.
