Week 17:
Thanks to good offensive stats, decent coverage moves and nice bulk, Mega Abomasnow is able to turn into a very threatening wallbreaker against balanced teams. It is able to break through cores like Rotom-W + Heatran + Lando-T easily because its STAB combination and Earthquake coverage allows it to hit every one of those mons for super effective damage, while also being able to 2HKO through bulky pokemon like Skarmory and Mega Sableye with the help of a Blizzard coming from a 132 SpA stat. Unfortunately, Mega Abomasnow fails to abuse its good bulk because of its low speed and many weaknesses, including a weakness to Stealth Rocks. It is also heavily prediction reliant to wallbreak properly, as many offensive checks resist at least one offensive move from Abomasnow.
On what teams does Abomasnow fit well? What are good sets and cores including Abomasnow? How can it distinguish itself from other Ice- and Grass-Type wallbreakers? Discuss!
Activity has declined the past few weeks and the most interesting underdogs have already been discussed, so I will end this project after this week. There are still many pokemon that are worth discussing, so if anyone wants to take over this thread you can PM a forum mod and ask permission for it.
