Piloswine Description

Piloswine evolves from Swinub and can later become Mamoswine when it levels up knowing Ancient Power in supported games. Its Ice and Ground typing gives it strong offensive coverage.

Competitive Overview

Is Piloswine Good in Competitive?

Piloswine can be useful in some limited formats thanks to Eviolite support, Ground and Ice coverage and access to priority Ice moves.

Its weaknesses to common attacking types can be a problem, but Thick Fat can soften Fire and Ice matchups and make Piloswine more reliable than its typing first suggests.
