Get ready to ice out the competition in Pokémon UNITE, as
Mamoswine is now available to join your team. This powerhouse Pokémon is a
Melee Defender, and it’s ready to carry its weight in any battle. This Pokémon
begins each match as Swinub, and it evolves into Piloswine at Lv. 6 and
Mamoswine at Lv. 10.
Mamoswine’s basic attack becomes a boosted attack with every
third attack, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon and leaving them frozen for a
short time when it hits. In addition, Mamoswine’s basic attacks deal increased
damage for a short time to opposing Pokémon it has frozen with one of its
moves. Furthermore, due to Mamoswine’s Ability, Thick Fat, every time the
Pokémon deals damage, its Defense and Sp. Defense are increased for a short
time (up to three times), and when Mamoswine uses Ice Shard, Icicle Crash, or
Ice Fang, its next basic attack becomes a boosted attack. If any of those three
moves creates a freezing area of effect inside an ally goal zone, it decreases
the goal-scoring speed of opposing Pokémon inside that goal zone.
Now let’s look at Mamoswine’s available moves.
At Lv. 1 and Lv. 3, Swinub can learn Ice Shard and Tackle.
Ice Shard is a ranged attack that hurls three chunks of ice at a designated
location, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and
decreasing their movement speed for a short time. Tackle is a dash attack that has
Swinub rush recklessly in a designated direction, dealing damage to opposing
Pokémon it hits and throwing them.
When Swinub reaches Lv. 6 and evolves into Piloswine, Ice
Shard can be upgraded into one of two moves—Icicle Crash or Ice Fang.
Icicle Crash is an area attack in which Piloswine drops
icicles on a designated location, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the
area of effect and decreasing their movement speed for a short time. The final
icicle shatters after a set amount of time or when hit by Piloswine’s other moves
or boosted attacks, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and
leaving them frozen.
Ice Fang uses Piloswine’s cold-infused fangs to throw
the opposing Pokémon that’s closest to Piloswine, dealing damage and leaving the
Pokémon frozen for a short time. Piloswine can then choose a direction to slam
the thrown Pokémon forward or backward, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in
the area of effect and leaving them frozen for a short time. This attack can be
upgraded to increase the area of effect.
At Lv. 8, Tackle can be evolved into one of two moves—High
Horsepower or Earthquake.
High Horsepower is a dash attack that causes Piloswine
to rush recklessly in a designated direction, dealing damage to opposing
Pokémon it hits and shoving them. Piloswine then stomps its feet, dealing
damage to opposing Pokémon in the area of effect and leaving them unable to act
for a short time. The move can be upgraded to increase Piloswine’s rushing
speed and the length of time opposing Pokémon are left unable to act.
The other move, Earthquake, has Piloswine leap in a designated
direction and land forcefully, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon in the area
of effect and pulling them toward Piloswine. The move can be upgraded to
decrease the movement speed of opposing Pokémon for a short time when the move
hits and increase the move’s pulling power.
To truly crush the opposition, make use of Mamoswine’s Unite
Move, Mammoth Mash, which it learns at Lv. 10. This area attack has
Mamoswine jump to a designated location and become immune to hindrances.
Mamoswine then repeatedly stomps the ground, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon
in the area of effect and decreasing their movement speed for a short time with
each stomp. The final stomp throws opposing Pokémon in the area of effect.
Mamoswine is ready to stomp the competition and defend your
team. Crash on over to the Unite Battle Committee shop to get Mamoswine’s Unite
license now.
