[SET COMMENTS]
By virtue of its beefy Attack stat and amazing offensive typing, Mamoswine is a massively threatening wallbreaker in UU. Its access to STAB Ice Shard allows it to apply heavy pressure to a bevy of faster threats, including Noivern, Celebi, Roserade, and Haxorus. Alongside its powerful STAB moves, Knock Off provides super effective coverage against an otherwise counter in Bronzong. It also burdens several switch-ins, such as Golisopod, Mantine, and Galarian Weezing, with the removal of their items, making them easier to power through. Stealth Rock allows Mamoswine to support its team by chipping foes, but it should only be used if it can't be fit elsewhere on the team due to Knock Off's utility. Heavy Slam over Icicle Crash can work as a way of luring in and KOing Galarian Weezing, though this often proves too situational to fit. A Jolly nature allows Mamoswine to outrun a few key threats, including Toxtricity and Adamant Tsareena, while Speed tying with Timid Gardevoir and Chandelure. Adamant is an option too, letting Mamoswine more reliably take on Pokemon like Haxorus, Celebi, and Rotom-C with Ice Shard.

Mamoswine works best on offensive builds thanks to the several useful traits it offers, such as its wallbreaking capabilities, strong priority, and additional utility with Knock Off or Stealth Rock. Sweepers like Lucario and Haxorus enjoy Mamoswine's ability to weaken opposing teams for them to clean up late-game as well as its revenge killing capabilities against opposing sweepers with Ice Shard. Stealth Rock setters like Cobalion, Bronzong, and Necrozma can take on Galarian Weezing while freeing up its fourth slot for Knock Off. Roserade provides particularly useful support, setting Spikes while taking on bulky Water-types and Galarian Weezing. Due to its longevity issues, Mamoswine also enjoys support from pivots capable of safely bringing it in, like Incineroar, Heliolisk, and Rotom-C. Noivern is particularly helpful for its ability to cover for Mamoswine's shabby Speed, pressuring big threats to it like Inteleon and Golisopod. Sticky Web from Araquanid or Ribombee is also appreciated if it can be fitted, patching up Mamoswine's paltry Speed and letting it threaten offense teams even more heavily.

Stealth Rock allows Mamoswine to support its team by chipping foes, but it should only be used if it can't be fit elsewhere on the team due to Knock Off's utility. Heavy Slam and Stone Edge SE really isn't worth running, Phys Def Mantine can drop to Knock into Icicle Crash with like 10-15% chip...It's depressing as fck. Sure you can hit Goli but there is no reason to rly make yourself walled by Zong can work as coverage options for specific targets, like Galarian Weezing and Mantine respectively, though they often prove too situational to fit. I would mention the upside of using a Jolly nature to outspeed Tsareena and tie with other base 80's but it comes at the cost of decreased power.

Mamoswine works best on offensive builds thanks to the several strong traits it offers, such as its wallbreaking capabilities, strong priority, and additional utility with Knock Off or Stealth Rock. Sweepers like Lucario and Haxorus enjoy Mamoswine's ability to weaken opposing teams for them to clean up late-game, as well as its revenge killing capabilities against opposing sweepers with Ice Shard. I'd also mention how they can help remove or wear down Defensive Weezing for Mamo to break easier Stealth Rock setters like Cobalion and Necrozma Mention Bronzong given it is a pretty common partner can take on Galarian Weezing for Mamoswine while freeing up its fourth slot for Knock Off. Roserade provides particularly useful support, setting Spikes for Mamoswine while taking on bulky Water-types and Galarian Weezing. Due to its longevity issues, Mamoswine also enjoys support from pivots capable of safely bringing it in, like Noivern, Heliolisk, and Rotom-C. I'd mention how Noivern can make up for Mamo's middling speed tier and pressures a lot of Mamo's Revenge killers that resist Ice Shard like Inteleon, Shuca Cobalion, and Golisopod. Sticky Web from Araquanid or Ribombee is also appreciated if it can be fitted, allowing Mamoswine to patch up its paltry Speed and threaten offenses even more heavily.

1/2 when done

 

[A Cake Wearing A Hat]

adamant mamo is bad now make jolly the main slash and adjust accordingly. if you can't find anything really important that adamant actually does that justifies not tying chandy/garde and not outspeeding toxtricity/tsareena then remove adamant altogether. 2/2

e: also mention that generally if you're running heavy slam you'd drop crash instead of knock

Mamoswine works best on offensive builds thanks to the several strong useful ("strong" just doesn't feel like the right word here) traits it offers, such as its wallbreaking capabilities, strong priority, and additional utility with Knock Off or Stealth Rock. Sweepers like Lucario and Haxorus enjoy Mamoswine's ability to weaken opposing teams for them to clean up late-game (RC) as well as its revenge killing capabilities against opposing sweepers with Ice Shard. Stealth Rock setters like Cobalion, Bronzong, and Necrozma can take on Galarian Weezing for Mamoswine while freeing up its fourth slot for Knock Off. Roserade provides particularly useful support, setting Spikes for Mamoswine while taking on bulky Water-types and Galarian Weezing. Due to its longevity issues, Mamoswine also enjoys support from pivots capable of safely bringing it in, like Incineroar, Heliolisk, and Rotom-C. Noivern is particularly helpful for its ability to patch up cover for ("patch up" implies it's providing speed control, which it doesn't do) Mamoswine's shabby Speed, pressuring big threats to it like Inteleon and Golisopod. Sticky Web from Araquanid or Ribombee is also appreciated if it can be fitted, allowing Mamoswine to patch patching up its Mamoswine's paltry Speed and letting it threaten offense teams (optional, but I think it's nice to use "teams" at least once a paragraph) even more heavily.
