Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: How to evolve Piloswine in The Teal Mask

Swinub, Piloswine and Mamoswine are among the many returning evolutionary lines in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s Teal Mask DLC. Mamoswine is a powerful Ice and Ground-type to add to your team, and evolves from Piloswine using a simple method.

First, players need to ensure that Piloswine knows a particular move before leveling it up. If it doesn’t know this move, then Piloswine will simply not evolve at all.

Here is  how to evolve Piloswine into Mamoswine in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, along with how to obtain both Swinub and Piloswine.

Swinub and Piloswine location in The Teal Mask

Piloswine can be found in the network of caves on/in Oni Mountain in the Kitakami region of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet The Teal Mask DLC.

If you’d rather start at the start of the evolution line and catch Swinub, for Pokedex completion reasons, Swinub is found nearby on Oni Mountain. Swinub reside in the Mossfell Confluence, Reveler’s Road and cave networks on Oni Mountain.

To evolve Piloswine it must first know Ancient Power in its current moveset before leveling it up. As long as Piloswine knows this move, it will automatically evolve into Mamoswine the next time its level increases.

It’s recommend to check Piloswine’s moveset before attempting to evolve it. Whether you’ve evolved a Swinub or caught one in the wild, there’s a good chance Piloswine will not have Ancient Power in its current moveset.

If this is the case, open up Piloswine’s Pokémon Status Summary and go to the ‘Moves and Stats’ page before selecting ‘Change Moves’. Next choose ‘Remember moves’ and scroll down until you find Ancient Power. Now all you need to do is pick which move you want to replace and teach Piloswine Ancient Power.

Now, just level up Piloswine , either by using a Rare Candy, another Exp. Candy item, etc., to evolve it into Mamoswine.
