Technician changes the entire equation for Maushold. The 470 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-Tier as a pivot.

What is Maushold weak to?

Watch for Hitmonlee (Fighting) when using Maushold. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Maushold's base 111 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.

What is the best ability for Maushold?

Technician is what you want on Maushold. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind. The alternatives (Friend Guard, Cheek Pouch) work on paper but Technician is what makes Maushold worth using.

What role does Maushold play in battle?

Base 111 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Maushold is a physical attacker with base 75 Attack. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a pivot.

What are the best moves for Maushold?

Run Followme, Protect, Beatup, and Superfang on Maushold. Followme is the most common pick at 25% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.

Maushold leads with Focus Sash insurance. Even if it can't take a hit naturally, it'll survive long enough to deal early damage. Flexible EVs go all-in on offense since bulk doesn't matter here.
