Strategy Overview
Abomasnow is a decent wallbreaker with a great offensive typing, a good movepool, and decent offensive stats. It also has a great ability in Snow Warning, which allows it to spam Blizzard without a fear of missing, constantly wears down foes, limits certain healing moves such as Musharna's Moonlight, and puts a stop to rain and sun teams. These attributes let Abomasnow perform a wide variety of roles, most notably as a mixed wallbreaker, a Choice Scarf user, and a Swords Dance sweeper. However, one of Abomasnow's major setbacks is in its Speed. This, combined with its terrible defensive typing, allows many Pokemon to KO it relatively easily. Abomasnow is also easily worn down by Stealth Rock and potential recoil from Life Orb and Wood Hammer. Furthermore, it faces a lot of competition from other wallbreakers, particularly Aurorus which is slightly stronger and has better defensive typing. However, Abomasnow's niche comes from its near-unresisted combination of STAB moves and coverage.
