Mammochon is a Pokemon Ice / Ground, a dual-type that is really mediocre defensively, but very effective offensively. With a base 130 attack stat and an excellent movepool, he is a force to be reckoned with in OU, despite his below-average speed. Several items allow Mammochon to shine: we will especially remember the Force Belt, allowing him to play the role of suicide lead with impressive damage, the Choice Scarf, allowing him to overtake many threats in speed, and the Life Orb, which coupled with his excellent offensive movepool will make the opposing switch a nightmare.

He will be able to integrate into offensive teams as a setter. Rock Trap and check out many popular Pokemon like Heatran Or Demeteros-T. In addition, its dual type allows it to be immune to the effects of climate, and to suffer neutral damage on Rock Trap despite its type Ice.

This first set is the one that best uses all of the abilities of Mammochon as Lead.

The EVs are very classic, and leave little room for fantasy. The maximum speed allows Mammochon to overtake Chapignon, Scalproie and Dracolosse in particular, and ensures the placement of the Rocs. to a certain extent. Maximizing the attack allows him to apply the greatest possible pressure on the opponent from the start of the game, and the 4 points in defense allow him to keep odd HP.

The Bland ability coupled with the Force Belt ensures that he can land the Rock Trap even against a faster Pokémon with Provoc or a super effective shot, which makes our Mammoth-Pig a prime lead for offensive teams.

Earthquake is the attack with the highest offensive potential in his entire movepool, and it does not trigger contact, which avoids breaking the Force Belt on a Brut Helmet or an opposing ability.

Ice-Flakes will hurt extremely badly Demeteros-T, Carchacrok Or Dragonite among others, and will allow Mammochon to come back as a revenge-killer throughout the match if he was able to land the Rocks without being KO’d

Effort is extraordinary on this set. Coupled with the force belt and Ice-Flakes This grants surprise KOs, and allows Mammochon to put the pressure on from the start, even against some of his counters. Stalagtite is an interesting option to get rid of Mushroom lead with Force Belt, and more powerful than Icefall from the fourth shot. Tomberochealthough less interesting than the first two options, allows you to KO Pokémon Fire / Flight as Flambusard Or Mega Charizard-Ywhile giving the possibility to Mammochon to catch up with an opposing Pokémon quickly following an unfortunate switch.

The biggest cons of this set are the Bulky Water, Staross especially who can break the Force Belt with Quick Tour without risk of taking Effortand then knock out Mammochon with Boiling. Motisma-Washer is also very problematic since he can burn it to break the Power Belt and then OHKO it with Hydrocannon. Mega-Ténéfix is also a plague, since not only can it burn him, it also prevents him from laying the Rocks.

The best allies of Mammochon will be here the Pokémon taking advantage of the Rock Trap and/or able to counter attacks Anti-Mist And Quick Tour. A Pokémon Spectrum to block a Quick Tour or a Pokémon that can stand on Anti-Mist are very good ideas. Big sweepers that guarantee a KO with the help of the Rocs are also appreciated.

This second set benefits from the wonderful striking force of Mammochon combined with its exceptional offensive dual-typing to make huge holes as a revenge killer.

The Rigid nature allows you to maximize damage, and is enough to exceed up to Boreas-T thanks to the Choice Scarf. Here again, not much fantasy in the EVs, you hit fast and hard. And fast. And hard. The points in defense are here again to keep odd life points.

Earthquake remains its attack with the strongest offensive potential.

The choice between Icefall And Stalactite comes down to the following: while the first one does more damage for sure, the second one allows you to get rid of Pokémon with a Power Belt (Mushroom especially) and does more damage from the fourth hit.

Overpower And Landslide / Rock Blade will complete the coverage of STAB Ice And Groundallowing Mammochon to hit as many enemies as possible.

The main counters are once again the Bulky WaterAnd Airmurewho doesn’t fear Effort on this set.

The best options for the team will be Pokémon that can complement its offensive presence, as well as those that resist priority attacks that are super effective against Mammochoneither Aqua-Jet, Mach Punch And Pistol-Fist. Fulguris is a choice ally, because despite neutral damage on Aqua-Jet it fulfills all other conditions perfectly.

Finally, a complicated set to use, but which will wreak havoc if it is well surrounded. The key to this set is Freeze dryingtype attack Ice super-effective against type Pokémon Water.

The EVs are a bit more subtle this time: we still favor speed and attack, but this time 12 EVs in special attack are invested to offer Mammochon the 2HKO on Motisma-Washer And Flagadoss full HP / Sp Def after the Rocks + recovery of enemy Leftovers. This allows Mammochon to trick and defeat some of his usual counters, which will put the opponent in a difficult situation: either he sacrifices his “counter”, or he sends another Pokémon at the risk of losing it on a good anticipation on your part.

Earthquake And Icefall / Stalactite remain the STAB of choice (as specified on the Choice Handkerchief set: Icefall does more damage for sure, Stalactite allows you to get rid of Pokémon with a Power Belt like Mushroom). Freeze drying is mandatory to undo the Bulky Waterand the last Slot lets you choose between Ice-Flakes for revenge kill, and Overpower / Rock Blade for the cover.

This set is fantastic against poorly prepared Bulky Offense teams: with its combo of STAB and Freeze drying Mammochon is a nightmare to manage. However, it remains complicated to place, you will have to bring it in revenge kill or on an attack Electric anticipated. However, it can make big holes in opposing defenses, setting the stage for other sweepers on your team, and if you choose Ice-Flakes as a final attack it will perfectly fulfill the role of revenge-killer even against very fast teams.

The support of the Sticky Web or paralysis is appreciable, but not essential, the best allies of this Mammochon are the fast Pokémon that complete its offensive coverage, the Pokémon that can help it position itself, or even Sweepers that will benefit from seeing their checks started. Here again, we will think of Fulguris for example, or even Cizayox who not content with taking some of the blows dealt to Mammochon (Steel, Fight) will be able to help him to position himself thanks to a U-turn slow while maintaining offensive pressure on the opponent.
