Strategy Overview
A number of people questioned Snover's ability to take over Abomasnow's job. Many people thought Snover would never see the light of day in UU play due to his lackluster stats and his total of 7 weaknesses. However, Snover can bring many positive things to the table. First and foremost, his ability activates infinite hail, making him a standard on all hail-based teams. Secondly, his typing, surprisingly enough, allows him to beat most of the bulky Waters who plague the metagame. These characteristics and his ability to provide Leech Seed and Toxic support make Snover an important aspect on defensive teams despite his poor stat distribution. However, for the most part, Snover will and should only be used in UU play if you want to build a hail team; otherwise, he might as well just be a stationary rock.
