[OVERVIEW]
* Maushold is a great supportive and offensive Pokemon, with access to a 300 base power move in Population Bomb, two great abilities with Technician and Friend Guard, and access to a plethora of support moves, including Follow Me. Maushold’s bulk leaves much to be desired, but it is made up for with its great speed tier.

* Population Bomb has a whopping 300 base power with Technician, and should be used on almost all non-Ghost types. Bite, being 60 base power, is boosted by Technician, and is Maushold’s best move to hit Ghost types. Follow Me is one of the, if not the best support move in the game, redirecting all single-target moves to Maushold and protecting its ally. Tidy Up can further boost Maushold’s offensive capabilities and get rid of opponent’s substitutes, and Low Kick can be used as a final coverage move to hit Rock and Steel types super effectively, but is not usually the best option.
* Wide Lens is near mandatory for an offensive Maushold, boosting its odds of hitting a Population Bomb all ten times immensely. However, other items could be used if you have another way of boosting Maushold’s accuracy, such as Gravity support.
* 252 speed EVs with a Jolly enable Maushold to outspeed unboosted base 110 speed Pokemon and below, and 252 attack EVs allow Maushold to hit as hard as possible.
* Tera Normal is usually the best choice for Maushold, even allowing it to 2HKO some Rock and Steel types. Tera Dark can also be used to further boost Bite and hurt ghosts.

[SET COMMENTS]
* Super Fang is a great move for a supporting Maushold, allowing it to always do ½ of the opponents HP. Follow Me helps Maushold support its allies further by protecting them from attacks. Helping Hand and Thunder Wave are interchangeable, enabling Maushold to either boost an ally’s attack this turn or hinder an opponent. Taunt or Encore can cripple other support Pokemon, by either disabling their supportive capabilities or crippling them by locking them into an unfavourable move. Finally, Beat Up, while gimmicky, pairs well with either Justified users such as Arcanine, or Annihilape with Rage Fist, by boosting their attack by attacking them, while they take barely any damage because of Friend Guard.
* Focus Sash is a good item for Maushold because of its pour defenses. However, an HP restoring berry can also be used.
* 252 speed and HP EV’s with a Timid nature make Maushold a fast support Pokemon, while also maximizing its HP.
* Tera Dark makes Maushold immune to Prankster status moves, which is great with Murkrow being everywhere. Tera Ghost can also be used to become immune to Fighting moves and can catch an opponent off guard.
