Strategy Overview
Snorunt should be used as a suicide entry hazard lead. Snorunt is a good entry hazard setter because it can beat most entry hazard removers, especially Flying- and Ground-types, thanks to Ice Beam. However, it can't deal with Staryu. Snorunt has access to Ice Shard, which is helpful because of its priority. Snorunt's stats are mediocre; it's very weak and can't take many hits. In addition, it has a bad defensive typing, which means it can't survive for a long time during the match because it only resists Ice-type moves. This is very bad, as Fighting-types are on almost every team. Snorunt faces heavy competition from other Spikes users, such as Dwebble, Pineco, and Omanyte, as Omanyte has better typing and bulk, while Pineco and Dwebble have access to the Sturdy + Berry Juice combination, which increases their longevity.
