Pokemon Go Mamoswine: Best Moveset for PvP and Raids

Mamoswine in Pokemon Go.

With the best moveset possible, Mamoswine becomes one of the strongest attackers in Pokemon Go across both PvP and Raids. To help you unlock the Ice-type Pokemon’s true potential we’ve broken down what attacks you need to teach it.

Mamoswine is an Ice/Ground type Pokemon that has remained dominant in Pokemon Go since it debuted in February 2019. This became especially true once it gained access to more moves and its Shadow variant was added.

It isn’t the easiest Pokemon to find outside of events but if you do happen to catch a strong Mamoswine or its pre-evolution, Swinub, you’ll want to get the most out of it.

To do that you’ll need the best moveset possible and that’s exactly what we’ve figured out. Let’s get right into it.

Pokemon Go Mamoswine best PvP moveset

The best PvP Moveset to use on Mamoswine is Powder Snow as a Fast Attack with both Avalanche and High Horsepower as its two Charged Attacks.

Mamoswine’s main advantage in PvP is that a lot of the most prevalent Pokemon are weak to Ice-type attacks. This is especially true in Master League where Dragon types are extremely common and dominate the meta.

With access to both Powder Snow and Avalanche, Mamoswine has the means to take these Dragons down and prevent your team from getting overwhelmed. As for coverage moves, High Horsepower deals the most damage thanks to STAB but Stone Edge is also a strong choice to keep Bug, Fire, and even other Ice types in check.

Pokemon Go Mamoswine best Raid moveset

In Raids the best moveset for Mamoswine is Powder Snow as its Fast Attack and Avalanche as its Charged Attack. This setup gives Mamoswine the best DPS possible against Raid bosses weak to Ice-type attacks.

Alternatively, a combination of Mud-Slap and High Horsepower turns Mamoswine into a fantastic Ground-type attacker. Despite this, it’s still recommended to prioritize an Ice-type moveset as it allows Mamoswine to fulfill its full potential as the best Ice-Type Pokemon in the game.
