Mamoswine (Japanese: マンムー Mammoo) is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon.

It evolves from Piloswine via level-up while knowing AncientPower. It is the final evolution of Swinub.

Biology

Physiology

Mamoswine resembles a fully grown mammoth with a pig-like nose. The tusks are much larger than those of Piloswine and seem to be shifted downward. The tusks are made from rock solid ice instead of ivory. Mamoswine were much more common during the Ice Age but their numbers dwindled as the climate grew warmer.

Gender differences

A female Mamoswine has shorter tusks than a male one.

Special abilities

Mamoswine have immense physical strength. Their coat of fur is very thick and their skin is very rough, making them immune to the effects of both Sandstorm and Hail. Mamoswine's tusks are made of virtually indestructible ice.

Mamoswine is extremely hardy, and can even Endure cryogenic suspension for an almost indefinite amount of time, as indicated by a ten-thousand-year-old specimen waking up much to the amazement of those who discovered it.

Behavior

Habitat

Mamoswine were populous during the last ice age, but at its end, the population thinned.
