Piloswine is a dual-type Ice/Ground Pokémon introduced in Generation II, evolving from Swinub at level 33 and then into Mamoswine when leveled up while knowing Ancient Power. It is often found in cold, mountainous regions, where its thick, shaggy fur provides insulation against harsh wintry climates. Piloswine's pre-evolution, Swinub, is known for its excellent sense of smell, which Piloswine retains, allowing it to sniff out food, even if it's buried deep under frozen ground or snow. This keen sense is vital for survival in its natural habitat, where resources can be scarce. In the games, Piloswine is a sturdy Pokémon with good HP and Attack stats, making it a reliable choice for trainers. In the anime, it has been featured in several episodes, often portrayed as a powerful and sometimes stubborn creature. Its evolution, Mamoswine, is particularly popular for its strength and imposing presence. Piloswine's design, reminiscent of an ancient woolly mammoth, gives it a unique appeal among Ice-type Pokémon, connecting it to prehistoric themes and emphasizing its resilience in extreme environments.
