How to use Mamoswine in the current VGC format?

**To use Mamoswine effectively in the current VGC format, leverage its Ice/Ground type typing and build around its top-performing movesets.** Mamoswine appears as a prominent choice in the current Pokémon Champions format, with usage data pulled from competitive teams, tournament results and Showdown-ready pastes tracked by MetaVGC. This page brings together its most common moveset, nature, ability, item, teammates and type weaknesses so you can judge where Mamoswine fits in a VGC team.

The most common build highlights Oblivious, Focus Sash and Jolly 2/32/0/0/0/32. Its frequent moves include Ice Shard, Protect, Icicle Crash, High Horsepower, Earthquake, and Rock Slide. Treat those choices as a data-backed starting point: they show what players are bringing, while EV spreads, Tera Type and the final move slot should still respond to your expected matchups.

Defensively, Mamoswine has important weaknesses to fighting 2x, fire 2x, grass 2x, steel 2x, water 2x. That matters during teambuilding because a strong composition needs ways to cover those attacks without giving up offensive pressure. Partners such as Farigiraf, Sinistcha, Torkoal, Incineroar, and Whimsicott appear often because they can add positioning, type coverage, speed control or safer switches into common checks.

MetaVGC tracks recent teams using Mamoswine. Open the Mamoswine teams page to compare complete structures, copy Showdown pastes and see how players combine Mamoswine with other Pokémon in the active format.
