[OVERVIEW]
-Mamoswine is a terrifying wallbreaker due to its great offensive typing and raw power.
-Mamoswine's typing gives it an advantageous match up against common defensive tools like Tangrowth, Amoongus, and bulky Salamence.
-Mamoswine can offer some offensive utility via picking off weakened offensive threats with Ice Shard.
-While Ice Shard alleviates this issue to an extent, Mamoswine's speed is rather low, which means it can struggle against faster offensive teams.
-Mamoswine will often be a defensive liability due to having next to no defensive and poor bulk. Its Ground-typing doesn't help it much, as it can't switch into common Electric-types like Zeraora and Rotom-Wash.
-Mamoswine faces competition from other wallbreakers like Terrakion and Lycanroc-Dusk which are faster, and arguably have more defensive utility in Terrakion's case, though Mamoswine still has a great offensive typing and its ability to muscle past common walls like Kommo-o without prior set up to distinguish itself.

Set Description
========
Paragraph 1
-Ice Shard is useful for revenge killing Ice-weak offensive threats like Latias, Salamence, and Krookodile, and offers Mamoswine a way to circumvent its middling speed.
-Knock Off hits both Rotom-Heat and Rotom-Wash hard and removes their items, allowing Mamoswine to potentially break through them later in the game. It also has additional utility against other walls like Slowking and Skarmory, which can be hard-pressed to check Mamoswine without their Heavy-Duty Boots and Leftovers respectively.
