Swinub's always been a favourite, but I was never big on Piloswine. Mamoswine has helped the entire line rocket to one of my all-time favourites, and I'm glad to see that piggy boy getting some appreciation.
On one hand, I kinda wish Mamoswine was closer to an actual mammoth, but on the other hand it could fall under the "it's barely a Pokémon, it just looks like a cartoon animal!" category if it was. The swine elements are keeping it connected to its evolution like and the ski glasses section around its eyes give it more personality without making it overdesigned or too goofy looking. It's definitely one of my favorite cross gen evolutions as well.
Ice-ground isn't just a good offensive typing- it hits OVER HALF of existing pokemon for SE damage, as well as only being resisted by water-bug and ice-bug, two rare typings that are rarely seen.
Mamoswine gets Freeze-Dry too which is pretty funny to throw against some physically bulky water types as Mamoswine's Special Attack is servicable (mainly good for Quagsire and Rotom-W)
Freeze dry Mamo in gen 6 is such a fun off meta way to catch so many checks. Besides that, Mamo has been a refined prediction players best friend. If you click the correct button, something is getting ruined if not outright KO’d. Perfectly designed
I remember as a kid trying to evolve piloswine in gen 3. That boy was level 70 something before I gave up. I didn't have Internet so I couldn't look it up. I just saw Mamoswine in the anime haha
think this video is really underselling mamoswine in gens 6-8, even after 5, Mamo was still a frequent threat in OU despite being a UU mon because of its unique typing, ice/ground is an amazing combination that covers both electrics and opposing ground types, and the power creeping of electric and ground types over the generations made Mamo even better for this unique role, especially in gen 8 which had the strongest collection of electrics types ever in OU, mamo could handle all of them as well as cover the common ground/grass/electric types that were used to parry the electric damage as well. Mamo was also one of the few switch ins to arctozolt and could survive its Low Kick coverage with bulk investment and KO back with EQ, Stealth Rock Focus Sash and Bulky Toxic Lefties Mamo were seen in tournaments making use if its unique offense and defensive tools on the right teams, definitely an amazing pokemon thats still completely unique and would create new team options if it were in gen 9 right now, one of my favorite competitive pokemon of all time that people still continue to innovate with throughout the generations
Just being able to fuck up every bulky mon in OU that’s not water type was huge in Gen 8. Pex - EQ, Torn-T - Crash, Corvi - with rocks up you only need to get two flinches, Ferro - two crash flinches into EQ, Blissey - no phys def to begin with
Always love seeing new jimothycool analyses. Your videos really stand out in all the right ways, and I always learn something. Lots of respect for your work!
Mamoswine's one of the highlights of Gen 4's new evolutions. It massively improves Piloswine, making Pryce much more threatening in his rematch team, while also being truly viable to use against Lance. Piloswine wasn't fast, so the chances of you getting off a Blizzard or Icy Wind before you got nuked was pretty slim. But Mamoswine, armed with Ice Shard and Ice Fang, was a game changer.
Glad to see a video centered on my favorite Pokemon of all time. Honestly, I liked Mamoswine in Gen 4, but playing Gen 5 OU was where I really came to love it
they were seriously allergic to making crabominable not low tier and niche as hell "you know how both ice shard and mach punch would make total sense on this thing? well too bad it gets neither. its just an outclassed trick room attacker and nothing else. fuck you."
That's why Mamoswine is still the one of best Ice-Type Pokémons in Smogon with Weavile. He deserved to show one of terribles defensive type. Pokémon SV could be interesting to see how he's going to be. Snowing climat have change as well, doing it tougher, but you must have a friend to activate the snow (Slowking and his Chilly Reception is his best friend so far). Overall, he's in my Top 10 favorite Pokemon in Gen 4 due to his strength.
I think ice electric is actually still better, but I could be wrong. They cover each other's resistances so well, and so much is weak to one or the other. There's a reason regileki was broken with tera ice instead of tera ground.
I have this beautiful final gym leader or elite four member idea, where they’re always vague what type they use, and 5 of them are all of the water/ground pokemon, then they just send out mamoswine and completely make you regret thinking grass types were a good idea to bring
Since draft leagues are getting a resurgence, I'm here to advocate for Mamoswine in this format. It might've fallen in smogon singles, but it kept being outstanding in draft. The lower power level and the variety the format provides makes Mamo really useful for his offensive capabilities and utility. Not only that, but Piloswine is also amazing, it still can hit hard and the extra bulk from eviolite is pretty useful.
Mamoswine actually got further buffed in vgc recently due to how oblivious blocks intimidate. This might actually give mamo more ou viability in gen 9 considering how crazy the lead meta has become with Glimora, Garchomp, Landorus, hell even lead specs dragapult is a lead nowadays, mamo can beat these mons and even stop taunt attempts due to oblivious blocking taunt
Mamoswine was my favorite Mon in the gen 4 anime and when I learned competitive in gen 6 ou whenever I considered my ground type id often choose it over lando and it gave me good results still
Man this was an awesome video. I’ve never even considered using Mamoswine. I would usually use a combination of Mew and Abomasnow to try and beat the three main metas, but I’ll have to try using Mamoswine now.
Been thinking you should rank every Cross-gen evolution (like you did to starters and pseudos): Crobat Bellossom Annihilape Politoed Slowking Magnezone Hitmontop Lickilicky Rhyperior Blissey Tangrowth Kingdra Scizor Kleavor Electivire Magmortar Porygon2 Porygon-Z Togekiss Ambipom Yanmega Dudunsparce Farigaraf Honchkrow Mismagius Weavile Gliscor Mamoswine Ursaluna Wyrdeer Gallade Probopass Roserade Dusknoir Froslass Basculegion Kingambit Maybe save that whenever Archaludon releases if you want to add it to the ranking video
Ah my dear Piglephant, my first hidden ability Pokémon that I got in the Dream World back in Black 2 all those years ago. Still have her in my Ultra Sun game.
I really really enjoy Mamoswine, I love it's design and I love how it plays, unrelated to the video but it's also a fantastic pokémon to use in draft format
with rocks band mamo guarantees to ko dnite with ice shard which is epic. Rotom also still fears switchin into band mamoswine bc superpower can deal huge dmg to it
Baxcalibur is another example of an offensive Ice-type with notable defensive utility due to Thermal Exchange letting it uniquely punish things like WashTom and Moltres, or maybe even consider Ice Body to combo with Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception to greatly ease setup. It's a bit of a shame that this neat defensive utility becomes rather overshadowed by Baxcalibur's sheer offensive might that is comparable with similar offensively broken Ice-types like GDarm and Chien-Pao
Bax to me is an example of a mon that was made with a single goal in mind. Most pseudos can be run as mixed attackers or even defensively/for utility, but Bax is designed to just click strong physical moves and nothing else, just like Chien and Gdarm. Ice Body+Sub is a newer but fairly common set now but basically does the same thing. Personally, I wish it offered more as a Pseudo but at least it does its one job well. If they lowered its speed and increased its bulk or gave it reliable recovery, it would just become another defensive Ice type to complain about.
Great vid! Happy to finally see Gen V in a positive spotlight, with common criticism against it, i started seeing as simply a meta ruled by sheer brute force and nothing else. Also really hoping you make a video on PokeWilds! 🙏 it's a lovely fangame that got me addicted the week i got into it, and i even collaborated a bit with sprites for it for it's next update!
Pursuit Tar or Bliss help. Try and scout its set if you can. If they have HP Grass for E.G, it's less likely they have Will o Wisp since theres not enough moveslots. So then a SpDef Jirachi will wall them safely and not have to worry about getting burned. Also you can maybe pivot a SpDef Zap or Molt into Hp Grass and threaten them from there If they do have Wisp you can try and get Molt in on a Wisp at some stage and force them out. I like Overheat on Molt cause you can live a Tbolt from full and just KO them
I recently used a mamoswine team on ladder and it was so nice to threaten the zam magic gaurd sand teams for massive damage that isn’t very punishable via ferrothorn
I was playing Sacred Gold (a Heart Gold challenge hack) and went up against Lance. He left my poor Mamoswine alone in a 4v1 that quickly turned back into my favor because of its Choice Banded Ice Shard sweeping Lance's powerful Dragons. That's what made me love Mamoswine, and he's going to be a monster in the new Snow mechanics.
Just in time as I caught a Former Alpha Mamoswine that's ready to go to Paldea when The Teal Mask drops, but I'm tired and don't wanna put the Distant Past Ribbons on them for now.
Mamoswine is a great example of what I wish more ice types were. Unfortunately, with the way that ice types match up defensively, it is very difficult to design a Pokemon that works this way, with perhaps Baxcalibur being one of the few others over the years. I think if they redid how ice types work on the defensive side, perhaps giving them one or two more valuable resistances, we'd be able to see a wider variety of viable ice types. Perhaps a resistance to one of Fairy, Dragon, or Electric could help. A resistance to Electric specifically would even make Ice types one of the few checks to boltbeam users, which could be interesting.
Mamoswine and Magnezone are like the ideal examples of how a good evolution can help otherwise underwhelming mons 2 stage mons. Where's my parasect fix now?
Oh my child I used to run scarf mamo very specifically to outspeed and kill latios and dragonite from full It worked much more often than it probably should have, won me sooo many games
As a kid when Gold/Silver first came out, I rather liked Piloswine for its unique typing, even if it had some issues overall. So I absolutely loved when it got an evolution that massively boosted its viability. I definitely agree that it's one of the best-designed Ice-types, with a definite offensive lean without going to ridiculous extremes and having Ice Shard as a speed option.
when mamoswines back im running snowcloak AV with chilly reception support from slowking max hp max attack adamant scarlet and violet battle stadium isnt ready
I’m surprised We haven’t had an extremely OP ice type Champion with Mamoswine as the signature pokemon. Assault vest plus Snow makes it even more powerful than previous gens.
I was a big fan of Arctozolt in generation 8 - insane breaking power, but balanced by the prediction-reliance of its STABs and the time limit on hail turns, and outside of hail, it's pretty helpless. It having to survive on the strength of boltbeam coverage over its own inherent strength has always been cool to me.

I Love Mamoswines Favorite Catch Phrase
"You know what killed the Dragons? *THE ICE AGE!* "
Those were the dinosaurs but still, that's funny XD
If Mamoswine was in a Low Budget Batman movie.
"ICE TO MEET YOU"
@@DarthFhenix55 Thats the joke I was going for! I know its dinossaurs, it is just more fitting to put dragons instead! Either way you understood the ref :"c
dragons are treated like dinosaurs in pokemon lore basically anyways so it was a perfect reference
Mamoswine needs that Thick Fat in order to be protected from the evils of Iton Mugulis and Old Money
Oh do I have some good news for you
Swinub's always been a favourite, but I was never big on Piloswine. Mamoswine has helped the entire line rocket to one of my all-time favourites, and I'm glad to see that piggy boy getting some appreciation.
Love this thing, it was the original Dragon slayer. I wish it got Mountain Gale and Headlong Rush.
it'll come back, fingers crossed it gets these. 🤞
Gotta love it when a new move makes sense on a bunch of Pokemon, but you have to wait for distribution to slowly trickle outwards anyway
Imagine glacial lance? 👀 I mean look at those tusks.
Legendary signature moves will always be unique to them sadly
@@nomongosinthaworldwhat about sacred fire and v create?
Very nice analysis.
Mamoswine has always been one of my favorite Ice-types, so learning about its powerhouse status in competitive play is a treat.
An impressive endorsement from mamoswine gaming himself, this video is truly one of the videos of all time
Mamoswine was always in my top 5 favorite pokemon list , i dont know why , its not that cool its not cute , it just gives me good vibes
I think it's pretty cool and mean looking and unique for the most part
I respectfully disagree Mamoswine is very cool
On one hand, I kinda wish Mamoswine was closer to an actual mammoth, but on the other hand it could fall under the "it's barely a Pokémon, it just looks like a cartoon animal!" category if it was. The swine elements are keeping it connected to its evolution like and the ski glasses section around its eyes give it more personality without making it overdesigned or too goofy looking. It's definitely one of my favorite cross gen evolutions as well.
i find this combination of mammoth and swine to be ugly as hell
Ice-ground isn't just a good offensive typing- it hits OVER HALF of existing pokemon for SE damage, as well as only being resisted by water-bug and ice-bug, two rare typings that are rarely seen.
And rock moves like Rock Slide can deal with them if needed
Mamoswine gets Freeze-Dry too which is pretty funny to throw against some physically bulky water types as Mamoswine's Special Attack is servicable (mainly good for Quagsire and Rotom-W)
levitaters:
Levitators kinda disrupt that logic, but those are still only a few mons.
I actually liked most of the Ancient Power Pokemon. I wonder if they were partly an inspiration for Paradox.
I think they are more based on fossil pokemon, they are all such a fun idea and I hope more mons get those type of evolution
Freeze dry Mamo in gen 6 is such a fun off meta way to catch so many checks. Besides that, Mamo has been a refined prediction players best friend. If you click the correct button, something is getting ruined if not outright KO’d. Perfectly designed
prediction based button clickers are the most fun pokemons.
Nidoking and mabostiff >>>
we love gamblingg
I remember as a kid trying to evolve piloswine in gen 3. That boy was level 70 something before I gave up. I didn't have Internet so I couldn't look it up. I just saw Mamoswine in the anime haha

Stealth Rock Focus Sash and Bulky Toxic Lefties Mamo were seen in tournaments making use if its unique offense and defensive tools on the right teams, definitely an amazing pokemon thats still completely unique and would create new team options if it were in gen 9 right now, one of my favorite competitive pokemon of all time that people still continue to innovate with throughout the generations
I agree. Mamoswine definitely did not fall off the way he makes it sound
Just being able to fuck up every bulky mon in OU that’s not water type was huge in Gen 8. Pex - EQ, Torn-T - Crash, Corvi - with rocks up you only need to get two flinches, Ferro - two crash flinches into EQ, Blissey - no phys def to begin with
Always love seeing new jimothycool analyses. Your videos really stand out in all the right ways, and I always learn something. Lots of respect for your work!
Ice is so tragic because gamefreak keeps trying to make them slow and bulky, but won't give them a single resist to actually help them do that
I wish they would just remove a weakness from ice types
Maybe get rid of weakness to rock, rock seems similar to ground😅
@@timhiltz6323you really wanna screw over rock types more.
@@GoToBedSheeva I feel like ice always should have resisted fire.

Used him a ton in gen 7 UU, he’s a monster in that tier, always puts in crazy work.
I respect the upload grind. Great pokemon topics
A pig that mimics an elephant is such a good concept, it has always been one of my favorites
another interesting ice type to cover i think would be arctozolt in gen 8. stab boltbeam + being a slush rush abuser made it really interesting to use
Gen4 had the coolest (pun intended) ice type mons: Mamoswine, froslass, weavile, obama-snow.
Glad to see a video centered on my favorite Pokemon of all time. Honestly, I liked Mamoswine in Gen 4, but playing Gen 5 OU was where I really came to love it
I was hoping to hear Crystal Caves in this video. Based music selection.
Now if only we get a Ice/Fighting mon that’s *actually good*
Both competitively and visually
how dare you diss how my boi crabominable >=( its pre evo can OHKO cresselia CRESSELIAAAA
they were seriously allergic to making crabominable not low tier and niche as hell
"you know how both ice shard and mach punch would make total sense on this thing? well too bad it gets neither. its just an outclassed trick room attacker and nothing else. fuck you."
You can't even use him in game because he only evolves in the route BEFORE THE LEAGUE
That's why Mamoswine is still the one of best Ice-Type Pokémons in Smogon with Weavile. He deserved to show one of terribles defensive type.
Pokémon SV could be interesting to see how he's going to be. Snowing climat have change as well, doing it tougher, but you must have a friend to activate the snow (Slowking and his Chilly Reception is his best friend so far).
Overall, he's in my Top 10 favorite Pokemon in Gen 4 due to his strength.
I love the dk64 OST in the background. That's how you know it's a cultured video
A wonderful mon. Couldn't live without it. Also, excellent analysis and video description.
always great to see Ice types getting some love
Ice and Ground is the BEST offensive combination in all of Pokémon.
fairy ground, hold my stab options
@@chuddledog42 ice is a better offensive typing
I think ice electric is actually still better, but I could be wrong. They cover each other's resistances so well, and so much is weak to one or the other.
There's a reason regileki was broken with tera ice instead of tera ground.
Its awesome to see you talk about other gens! Past gen content is super interesting.
Ah yes the OG dragon slayer alongside Weavile. Good times
I have this beautiful final gym leader or elite four member idea, where they’re always vague what type they use, and 5 of them are all of the water/ground pokemon, then they just send out mamoswine and completely make you regret thinking grass types were a good idea to bring
I love Mamoswine simply because he is the hardest counter ever to garchomp
I’ve really come to appreciate mamoswine recently, it’s in my top ten faves for sure. Just a cool dude
Love mamoswine, glad to hear they did so well at one point

Hands down my favorite ice type. Pretty excited for its return in the DLC.
Very cool video, Jimothy. Always nice to see some ice types getting some love.
Thanks for showing off the power of my favorite ice type and first mystery gift mon!
Mamoswine really is a Pokémon you could install a hammock on

Always love a little Mamoswine, thanks for the video Mammothy Cool
Ice works when oriented towards playing offensively, who'd have thought!!! 😱
Mamo might be a mammoth, but it'll always be the goat
mammoth and swine hybrid
mamo is fantastic. The gen 4 evolutions all deserve buffs to be relevant
This inadvertently also highlights how much of a menace dragon type was back in the Gen 4 & 5 meta
Mamoswine is so cool, no pun intended.
baxcalibur: am i a joke to you?
Mamoswine is great. Great design and good type and movepool. Really solid mon all around.
The Swinub line has been a staple in my teams since Gen 2. Piloswine jokingly looks like me too when i get shaggy hair lol
I loved using mammoswine when bdsp was being played on showdown. So many ice weak mons.
Baxcalibur is another example of an offensive Ice-type with notable defensive utility due to Thermal Exchange letting it uniquely punish things like WashTom and Moltres, or maybe even consider Ice Body to combo with Galarian Slowking's Chilly Reception to greatly ease setup.
It's a bit of a shame that this neat defensive utility becomes rather overshadowed by Baxcalibur's sheer offensive might that is comparable with similar offensively broken Ice-types like GDarm and Chien-Pao

Great vid! Happy to finally see Gen V in a positive spotlight, with common criticism against it, i started seeing as simply a meta ruled by sheer brute force and nothing else.
Also really hoping you make a video on PokeWilds! 🙏 it's a lovely fangame that got me addicted the week i got into it, and i even collaborated a bit with sprites for it for it's next update!
Jim, just good job man
Mamo is my favorite Ice Type
Was listening to the drag mag part and thought it'd be funny if it was called dragnezone. Could also go for Dragnet pull or Magon spam
Love your Neverhood Klaymen profile pic 👍
Ah yes, Gen 5, the Weather Wars, featuring the 4 infamous weather conditions: Rain, Sand, and Hyper Offensive
thank you for talking about this Funny and Interesting Pokemon
Hi Jim, I have a problem at my hands. How do u deal with Gengar with a Superman team in ADV ou
Pursuit Tar or Bliss help. Try and scout its set if you can.
If they have HP Grass for E.G, it's less likely they have Will o Wisp since theres not enough moveslots. So then a SpDef Jirachi will wall them safely and not have to worry about getting burned. Also you can maybe pivot a SpDef Zap or Molt into Hp Grass and threaten them from there
If they do have Wisp you can try and get Molt in on a Wisp at some stage and force them out. I like Overheat on Molt cause you can live a Tbolt from full and just KO them
So what you're saying is he's an actual pokemon in a gen where people fight over sandstorm vs rain
Looking forward to loaded dice I-spear and rock blast sets
later gen we have the behemoth AV Chinese Mamoswine
I recently used a mamoswine team on ladder and it was so nice to threaten the zam magic gaurd sand teams for massive damage that isn’t very punishable via ferrothorn
Mamo is agency approved enough said
I miss the longer please subscribe skits. Those are the must see thing that gets me clicking the videos

Gen 5 ou got me into competitive battles and mamoswine was always a staple on 80% of my teams. Such an awesome mon
Mamoswine with a ice/ground typing is how a grass/rock type should be

Remember kids, its better to have a dangerous Mamoswine at your side than a Pile of Wine. Say no to drinking and have a nice day killing dragons.
Omg that Gen 4 Mamoswine sprite was a jump scare. Why is it so huge?!
You used the Lobby theme from the first ace attorney game in this video! :0

Guess you can say, Mamoswine is an icebreaker for the type
I loved Mamoswine. So much fun to play with
😭😭😭 love hearing praise for MY BOY THE MAMOSWINE
I've always enjoyed Mamoswine, both in design and in competitive!
Gen 5 OU is an absolutely goated metagame. Still playing it to this day
Drag mag team: any last words before we kill ya
Me: what killed the dragon lords
Drag mag: wtf?
Me: THE ICE AGE
Mamo then falls from the sky
