Maushold Types – Family of 4 & Family of 3
There are two different types of Maushold in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet. The common one is a family made up of 4 mice but there is a family of 3 variant too.
The chance of getting a family of 3 variant of Maushold is around 1/25. There is no way of guaranteeing which version of Maushold you get either – it’s just up to luck.
It is also worth noting that these variants are purely just cosmetic differences and the stats are exactly the same.
