Shadow Piloswine
PvE Analysis
Just evolve it into Mamoswine if you need Ice or Ground Type raid damage, as Piloswine just can't compare.
PvP Analysis
Powder Snow has better overall stats than Ice Shard. It deals slightly less damage, but the increased Energy gain pairs well with Piloswine's powerful Charged Attacks
Avalanche is one of the best attacks in the game, and Piloswine gets STAB on it. High Horsepower complements it wonderfully, also benefiting from STAB and covering Steel-, Fire-, and Water-type targets. Stone Edge is a niche option that can take out certain targets such as Talonflame and Golisopod. Bulldoze is horrendous.
Great League | 2.5 / 5 | |
---|---|---|
Fun fact: Piloswine actually out-performs Mamoswine in the Great League due to having a virtually identical moveset and a better stat build at or below 1500 CP. Here, it can take down huge threats such as Dragonite, Lugia, and Altaria with its icy powers. However, while its typing is offensively great, it also leaves it with a laundry list of weaknesses that make it easily picked off by many common Pokemon. It's probably to look into stronger Ice-Types before settling on Piloswine, but it can perform with a bit of support. | ||
Ultra League | 0 / 5 | |
Once again, Piloswine's stats make it better suited to the CP cap than Mamoswine, but both of them share many of the same issues. Here, Piloswine can beat both formes of Giratina in a 1v1 match, though most of those wins are a bit narrow. It has to beware of Grass, Water and Steel however. Again; it needs a bit of support to be effective, but Piloswine is a viable Pokemon in the league. | ||
