Mamoswine?
Just caught a 100%IV Piloswine, looked at stats on here for Mamoswine, looks pretty decent with good attack stat & 3000+ max cp, am struggling for non legendaries to power up after Salamence, thoughts on working on this Piloswine next in anticipation of gen 4?

Agree with above posters - stock up on candy, but don't put dust into it until we know it gets a decent moveset. I'm in the same position, did a raid for one on a lark and got a perfect. Hope it's good, and can lead my Ice team (insofar as one needs an Ice team these days). Still looking for my first Articuno, that should happen on Friday - I elected to get the Zapdos candy last Friday, on my choice day (do breakthrough after 4:00 my time, get Articuno, do it before 4:00, get Zapdos). I've got 4 more shots at Articuno, and expect to get 24+3 candy from/for it.
I will go the other way to others that posted.
I can see no reason not to to do it...unless you already have an Ice army.
There is not much between all the current Ice attackers and for some Piloswine may be their main Ice attacker of choice, depending on their options.
If you have a need of adding to your Ice team there there is no problem powering it up.
If Mamoswine doesn't become the leader of the Ice attackers, then you have lost nothing as Piloswine will hold it's place...and if it does take overall top spot for Ice then you will already have a head start.
Unless I am missing something, it is a 'no lose' decision to power it up. It is risk free...if you need another Ice attacker.
My main reason for thinking about it is out of all the 100% mons in my collection, this one is the only one with relevance going into gen 4. I have about 1000 candies for it so they aren't an issue. As far as needing another ice attacker, I don't atm but no ice attacker gets close to Mamoswines cp currently, not sure what other ice mons gen 4 will have to offer? Only issue is it's movepool.
