Strategy Overview
Thanks to its ability, Snow Warning, Snover is one of the only two Pokemon in LC with a completely accurate Blizzard. Snow Warning is also useful for overriding other weather effects, and thereby easily shutting down Sand Rush, Chlorophyll, and Swift Swim users. The problem is that these weather abusers aren't very common. Furthermore, with the Base Power nerf to Blizzard, Snover is less potent than previously. Finally, it is difficult to use Snover reliably when Fletchling, one of its biggest threats, is so common in the metagame.
