Mamoswine is a beast in Pokemon Unite, both in looks and in how it can be played. A tank role is naturally one of the ways you can build this ice-based mammoth, but its kit also lends itself well to being more of an engage or disruptor should your team need it.

If you’re bold enough, you could even take Mamoswine into the jungle. This is best reserved for more advanced players with a grip on the game and the Pokemon, but it’s an option. The great thing about Mamoswine is that most builds use the same items, or close to it.

Standard tank items include the Focus Band and Buddy Barrier, and you can be flexible with the final choice. Score Shield is useful,
