[SET COMMENTS]
Mamoswine functions as an early-game wallbreaker in OU. An amazing STAB combination makes Mamoswine very difficult to properly handle it defensively in the long run, and its access to priority in form of Ice Shard slightly compensates for its mediocre Speed tier and enables it to revenge kill prominent offensive threats like Dragapult and Hydreigon. Stone Edge notably OHKOes Rotom-H and hits Rotom-W neutrally. Alternatively, Superpower lands a super effective hit on Ferrothorn but doesn't OHKO Rotom-H. Thick Fat increases Mamoswine's chances to beat Rotom-H by enabling it to survive one Overheat.

Wallbreakers like Hydreigon and Dragapult can create powerful breaking cores with Mamoswine and beat each other's checks; Hydreigon and Dragapult pressure Rotom-H and Rotom-W, while Mamoswine handles Mandibuzz, Fast offensive Pokemon such as Dragapult and Hawlucha can clean up after Mamoswine crushes opposing defensive backbones.

Hey Egor the QC team has decided that the following set should be used over Metronome Stealth Rock. Please tag me when you're done implementing the change so that I can check this.

Mamoswine @ Choice Band
Ability: Thick Fat
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Stone Edge / Superpower

Being walled by both Rotom-Wash and Rotom-Heat is very undesirable in the current metagame, and Choice Band has a ton of added benefits like being able to revenge kill Dragapult from way higher ranges and cleanly 2HKOing Seismitoad upon switchin among other things. While not being able to switch attacks can be a detriment to a degree, Choice Band is the set that maximizes Mamoswine's niche in the current metagame.

Stone Edge OHKOs Rotom-H and hits Rotom-W neutrally. Alternatively, Superpower lands a super effective hit on Ferrothorn while damaging both Rotom-H and Rotom-W neutrally. emphasise that hitting rotom super effectively is far more important than just generally blanketing it, since you’re implying that sup is the superior option. yeah hitting now ferro is alright and all but it’s not like it’s comfortably switching into mamo to begin with Thick Fat gives Mamoswine some defensive utility against Galarian Darmanitan. replace this mention now that garm is gone.

Wallbreakers like Hydreigon and Dragapult can create powerful breaking cores with Mamoswine and take advantage of each other's checks not keen on he phrase “take advantage” since that’s implying that mano is able to come in on stuff like clef / mandi / other fairies etc. for free which isn’t particularly true for mamo. Fast offensive Pokemon such as Dragapult and Hawlucha make up for Mamoswine's lack of Speed, and they appreciate Mamoswine crushing opposing defensive backbones for them. On the other hand, Ferrothorn can alleviate Mamoswine's Speed issiues with Thunder Wave support while pivoting in on Rotom-W and setting up entry hazards, making Mamoswine nearly impossible to switch into. i mean sure but this really isn’t great mention since the primary goal of pairing it with ferro is for the additional hazard damage which isnt particularly necessary since you’re already securing the rolls you need without spikes + it’s not adding anything useful in an already long analysis.

Stone Edge notably OHKOs Rotom-H and hits Rotom-W neutrally. Alternatively, Superpower lands a super effective hit on Ferrothorn but misses out on damage output against Rotom-H. Rather than saying that it misses out on damage output, you should specify that it doesn't OHKO. Choice Band-boosted Superpower still does a lot. Thick Fat increases Mamoswine's chances to beat Rotom-H by enabling it to survive one Overheat.

Wallbreakers like Hydreigon and Dragapult can create powerful breaking cores with Mamoswine and beat each other's checks. What checks? Be a bit more specific. Fast offensive Pokemon such as Dragapult and Hawlucha make up for Mamoswine's lack of Speed, and they appreciate Mamoswine crushing opposing defensive backbones for them. Pokemon can't really "make up for another Pokemon's lack of Speed". Just say that they can clean up after Mamoswine.
