The Community Day in Pokémon GO unlocked the new Pokémon Mamutel. We explain to you why you should definitely power up this monster.
This is what it’s about: On the Community Day in February, everything revolved around the Pokémon Quiekel. You could also develop Mamutel for the first time using the Sinnoh Stone.
Now the question is whether Mamutel is actually good and what it can be used for. We can advise you: Level up your Mamutel, because it will be worth it!
This is why Mamutel is so good
Mamutel is good for two types. It has strong Ice and Ground attacks and ranks among the best attackers for both types.
These are its stats: Mamutel has strong stats. Especially its attack stat is above average:
- Attack stat: 247
- Defense stat: 146
- HP stat: 242
- Max CP: 3328
Mamutel as an Ice Attacker
This is why it’s so good: Mamutel benefits from the fact that there has never been a really strong Ice attacker in the game. As a result, it ranks first among attackers of this type by a large margin.
With the moves Powder Snow and Avalanche, it has a top moveset and its enormous attack makes Mamutel a true weapon.
What is it good for? Mamutel can easily sweep any Dragoran or other Dragon Pokémon from gyms. But it also easily defeats Pokémon of the Grass, Ground, or Flying types.
In raids, the Pokémon with its Ice attacks becomes interesting especially against legendary dragons. If Rayquaza should return, then with Mamutel you have an extremely strong counter. You can almost defeat the legendary Pokémon by yourself. Mamutel can also defeat other Dragon-type raid bosses as a top counter.
Mamutel as a Ground Attacker
This is why it’s so good: With Ground attacks, Mamutel is not as strong as an Ice attacker, yet it ranks third among Ground Pokémon. However, the competition here is greater than among Ice attackers. Groudon and Rihornior are ahead of Mamutel.
With the moves Mud Shot and Steam Roller, it may not have the best Ground attacks, but it should not be underestimated. If you don’t have a good Groudon or Rihornior, you should rely on Mamutel.
What is it good for? As a Ground attacker in gyms, it causes problems for Pokémon of the Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, and Steel types. Classic candidates include Arcanine, Electivire, or Metagross.
In raids, you could perfectly counter the potential return of Raikou. It ranks among the top counters there. But other raid bosses, especially of the Electric type, will also have their problems with Mamutel.
During the Community Day in February, something was also changed:
