[SET COMMENTS]
Mamoswine is an effective wallbreaker on Ice teams, as it helps pressure Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-types such as Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Heatran. Earthquake makes it a dangerous threat for Poison and Electric teams, and Icicle Crash hits Ground-immune targets like Celesteela, Zapdos, and Mantine. Ice Shard provides priority and aids in revenge killing the likes of Agility Galarian Moltres, Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, and Choice Scarf Thundurus-T. Superpower grants Mamoswine the ability to break past bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Porygon2. Heavy Slam can be used to reliably defeat setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Clefable. Knock Off is a great utility option that allows Mamoswine to get rid of important items such as Eviolite from Chansey, Porygon2, and Piloswine as well as recovery items from Ferrothorn and Slowbro. An Adamant nature lets Mamoswine better revenge kill the aforementioned targets of Ice Shard.

Kyurem appreciates Mamoswine breaking through Steel-types such as Aegislash and Melmetal, as they are able to tank Kyurem's Earth Powers quite easily. In return, Kyurem checks Rotom-W and Slowbro and is capable of PP stalling Ferrothorn's Gyro Ball and Corviknight's Body Press with Pressure. Arctozolt not only helps Mamoswine break down defensive cores used by Poison and Flying teams, but also threatens Water-types such as Pelipper, Volcanion, and Toxapex. Cloyster values Mamoswines immunity to Electric-type moves from Tapu Koko, Zapdos, and Alolan Raichu, while also setting Spikes to support Mamoswine's wallbreaking by providing chip damage against foes. Aurora Veil Alolan Ninetales allows Mamoswine to tank more hits and wallbreak for a prolonged period of time; Alolan Ninetales also checks threats such as Urshifu-R and Kommo-o. Galarian Darmanitan can use Flare Blitz to KO Ferrothorn for non-Superpower Mamoswine and also lures Ground-immune Steel-types like Corviknight and Celesteela. Mamoswine wears down bulky teams so that Weavile can sweep in the late-game, while Weavile's Speed is great for dealing with faster threats such as Volcarona, Spectrier, and Blacephalon.

--------
Mamoswine is capable of utilizing Focus Sash + Oblivious to function as a Stealth Rock lead, but it doesn't have the immediate power that Choice Band provides and it faces competition as a Stealth Rock setter from Piloswine. Life Orb allows Mamoswine to switch between its moves, but shortens its longevity. Leftovers increases Mamoswine's longevity, although it doesn't hit as hard as Life Orb and Choice Band sets.

Mamoswine is an effective wallbreaker on Ice teams as it helps pressure Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-types such as Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Heatran. Earthquake is Mamoswine's strongest STAB and it is capable of hitting Steel-types such as Toxapex (ice doesnt really care about pex), Aegislash, and Magnezone after its Air Balloon has been popped. Icicle Crash is useful for flinches and primarily targets Amoonguss, Landorus-T, and Tapu Bulu (ice is fine vs all of these mons and ice shard would be better vs scarf lando anyway, try to find diff examples. if youre stuck you can ping me on discord). Ice Shard is provides Mamoswines only form of priority and it aids in revenge killing the likes of Agility Galarian Moltres, Dragapult Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, and Choice Scarf Thundurus-T. Superpower grants Mamoswine the ability to break past walls bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Porygon2, and Chansey. Heavy Slam can be used to hit Hatterene, Clefable, and Shuckle., and opposing Mamoswine. Knock Off is a great utility option and allows Mamoswine to get rid of important items such as Eviolite from Chansey, Porygon2, and Piloswine as well as recovery items from Ferrothorn, and Slowbro, and Bewear.

Kyurem appreciates Mamoswine breaking Steel-types such as Aegislash and Melmetal as they are able to tank Kyurem's Earth Powers quite easily, in return Kyurem checks Rotom-W and is capable of Pressure stalling Ferrothorns Gyro Ball and Corviknights Body Press. Cloyster values Mamoswines immunity to Electric-type moves from Tapu Koko, Zapdos, and Alolan Raichu., In return, Cloyster sets while also setting Spikes to support Mamoswines wallbreaking by providing chip damage on bulky Pokemon such as (insert examples). Alolan Ninetales allows Mamoswine to take hits easier when switching in with Aurora Veil, taking allowing Mamoswine to take advantage of Thick Fat to its fullest. Galarian Darmanitan is able to check Steel-types immune to Ground-type attacks such as Corviknight and Celesteela with Flare Blitz as well as Ferrothorn if Mamoswine lacks Superpower. Arctozolt is capable of checking threatening Water-types such as Pelipper, Volcanion, and Araquanid Toxapex as well as Fire-types immune to Ground-type attacks like Moltres (move arctozolt after the kyurem section).

Earthquake is Mamoswine's strongest STAB and it is capable of hitting Steel-types such as Aegislash and Magnezone after its Air Balloon has been popped [Zone feels like an odd example here as Ice doesnt struggle with Zone, a diff example or another extra example would be nice]. Icicle Crash is useful for flinches and for targeting Pokemon such as Celesteela, Corviknight, and Mantine who are immune to Earthquake [Add that with Eq, this provides Mamo super good coverage on top of destroying types such as (insert 2 types)]. Ice Shard provides Mamoswine priority and aids in revenge killing the likes of Agility Galarian Moltres, Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, and Choice Scarf Thundurus-T. Superpower grants Mamoswine the ability to break past bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn, Porygon2, and Chansey (delete one of these normal mons). Heavy Slam can be used to reliably defeat setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Clefable. Knock Off is a great utility option and allows Mamoswine to get rid of important items such as Eviolite from Chansey, Porygon2, and Piloswine as well as recovery items from Ferrothorn and Slowbro. (Why is an Adamant nature needed? What rolls does it have if ever)

Arctozolt is capable of checking threatening Water-types such as Pelipper, Volcanion, and Toxapex as well as Fire-types immune to Ground-type attacks like Moltres [Moltres is a not so good example due to its rarity, add more mons that it could handle, for instance, helping Mamo break Poison/Flying core faster]. Cloyster values Mamoswines immunity to Electric-type moves from Tapu Koko, Zapdos, and Alolan Raichu, while also setting Spikes to support Mamoswine's wallbreaking by providing chip damage on bulky Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Porygon2, and Piloswine [Pilo is an odd example, swap it out for someone else, like Ferro or anything, really]. Alolan Ninetales allows Mamoswine to take hits easier with Aurora Veil, allowing Mamoswine to take hits easier and be able to wallbreak for a prolonged period of time [it also can threaten Urshifu-R, and Kommo-o too]. Galarian Darmanitan is able to check Steel-types immune to Ground-type attacks such as Corviknight and Celesteela with Flare Blitz as well as Ferrothorn if Mamoswine lacks Superpower. (Add Weavile, deals with fasties like Volcaroo, Spectree, and Blace + loves opposing teams getting worn down too)

Earthquake is Mamoswine's strongest STAB and it is capable of hitting Steel-types such as Aegislash and Melmetal. Icicle Crash is useful for flinches and for targeting Pokemon such as Celesteela, Corviknight Zapdos (goes better with your second point), and Mantine who are immune to Earthquake. Alongside Earthquake, Icicle Crash provides Mamoswine with outstanding coverage that counters greatly threatens Poison and Electric teams (i wouldn't say counters because they have offensive counterplay). Ice Shard provides Mamoswine priority and aids in revenge killing the likes of Agility Galarian Moltres, Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, and Choice Scarf Thundurus-T. Superpower grants Mamoswine the ability to break past bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Porygon2. Heavy Slam can be used to reliably defeat setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Clefable. Knock Off is a great utility option and allows Mamoswine to get rid of important items such as Eviolite from Chansey, Porygon2, and Piloswine as well as recovery items from Ferrothorn and Slowbro. An Adamant nature lets Mamoswine better revenge kill the aforementioned targets of Ice Shard.

Kyurem appreciates Mamoswine breaking Steel-types such as Aegislash and Melmetal as they are able to tank Kyurem's Earth Powers quite easily, in return Kyurem checks Rotom-W and Slowbro, and is capable of stalling Ferrothorn's Gyro Ball and Corviknight's Body Press due to Kyurem's ability, Pressure. Arctozolt is capable of checking threatening Water-types such as Pelipper, Volcanion, and Toxapex as well as aiding Mamoswine in breaking the defensive core of Poison and Flying teams. Cloyster values Mamoswines immunity to Electric-type moves from Tapu Koko, Zapdos, and Alolan Raichu, while also setting Spikes to support Mamoswine's wallbreaking by providing chip damage on bulky Pokemon such as Hippowdon, Porygon2, and Ferrothorn. Alolan Ninetales allows Mamoswine to take hits easier with Aurora Veil, helping Mamoswine to take hits easier and be able to wallbreak for a prolonged period of time, Alolan Ninetales also checks threats such as Urshifu-R and Kommo-o. Galarian Darmanitan is able to check lure Steel-types immune to Ground-type attacks such as Corviknight and Celesteela with Flare Blitz as well as Ferrothorn if Mamoswine lacks Superpower. Weavile's speed tier allows it to deal with faster threats such as Volcarona, Spectrier, and Blacephalon while in return; Mamoswine wears down bulkier teams so Weavile can clean up late-game.

Mamoswine is an effective wallbreaker on Ice teams as it helps pressure Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-types such as Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Heatran. Earthquake makes it a dangerous threat for Poison and Electric teams, and Icicle Crash hits Ground-immune targets like Celesteela, Zapdos, and Mantine.

Icicle Crash is useful for flinches and for targeting Pokemon such as Celesteela, Zapdos, and Mantine who are immune to Earthquake. Alongside Earthquake, Icicle Crash provides Mamoswine with outstanding coverage that greatly threatens Poison and Electric teams (i wouldn't say counters because they have offensive counterplay). Ice Shard provides Mamoswine priority and aids in revenge killing the likes of Agility Galarian Moltres, Choice Scarf Galarian Zapdos, and Choice Scarf Thundurus-T. Superpower grants Mamoswine the ability to break past bulky Pokemon such as Ferrothorn and Porygon2. Heavy Slam can be used to reliably defeat setup sweepers such as Hatterene and Clefable. Knock Off is a great utility option and that allows Mamoswine to get rid of important items such as Eviolite from Chansey, Porygon2, and Piloswine as well as recovery items from Ferrothorn and Slowbro.

Mamoswine is capable of utilizing Focus Sash + Oblivious in conjunction with Oblivious to function as a Stealth Rock lead, although but it doesn't have the same immediate pressure power that Choice Band provides and it faces competition as a Stealth Rock setter from Piloswine. Life Orb allows Mamoswine to switch between its moves,(comma) unlike Choice Band but it shortens its longevity. Leftovers increases Mamoswine'(apostrophe)s longevity, although it doesn't hit as hard as Life Orb or and Choice Band sets.

Mamoswine is an effective wallbreaker on Ice teams as it helps pressure Fire-, Rock-, and Steel-types such as Torkoal, Tyranitar, and Heatran.
