B-Tier through Population Bomb variance.

Base Stats

The larger pair protects the little ones during battles. When facing strong opponents, the whole group will join the fight.
Maushold Guide
Technician changes the entire equation for Maushold. The 470 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a pivot.
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.
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.
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.
Run Populationbomb, Tidyup, Bite, and Encore on Maushold. Populationbomb is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the pivot role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Maushold joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 2 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
