Technician boosts weaker moves to surprising damage levels, letting Maushold hit way above its stat class. Normal typing helps — Ghost moves can't touch it, and only a single type hits it super-effectively. Introduced in Gen 9.
Speed and Attack carry most of Maushold's stat budget. Sp. Atk's the obvious dump stat. Moderately hard to find and yields 2 Speed EVs. Follows a fast 800K XP curve.
Maushold Weakness
GoodFighting-type moves hit Maushold for super-effective damage. The upside? Ghost-type moves can't touch it at all. Just 1 weak spot to worry about, which keeps teambuilding straightforward.
Evolved from Tandemaus. Maushold is the final form in this two-stage line. A decent partner pool for breeding via two egg groups. Eggs are quick to hatch. Speed grew the most through evolution (+36 over Tandemaus), and Maushold peaks at 470 total stats.
How to Evolve
Breed with Maushold to get Tandemaus eggs using 45 partners from the Fairy and Ground egg groups. Notable egg moves include After You, Baton Pass, Bite and 3 more.
Ditto only
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 EVs go all-in on offense since bulk doesn't matter here.

Without breeding, Maushold misses out on After You and Baton Pass. That's 6 egg moves adding depth that the base kit lacks. STAB comes from Giga Impact and Hyper Beam, with coverage across 9 types rounding things out.

Step 2Maushold ✓
Technician changes the entire equation for Maushold. The 470 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked B-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.
Tandemaus evolves into Maushold at level 25. Maushold is the fully evolved form. It sits at 470 BST in its evolved form.
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.
Maushold can be found in Scarlet & Violet.
Maushold joined the series in Scarlet & Violet and has been available in 1 titles so far. With 1 generation of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
