Strategy Overview

Froslass is one of the premier entry hazard setters and dedicated leads in the tier. By virtue of its base 110 Speed and access to useful utility moves like Spikes, Taunt, and Destiny Bond, Froslass distinguishes itself as a more viable option than other Spikes setters like Mew and Cloyster. Icy Wind also allows it to slow down faster threats and prevent them from using Defog via Taunt or potentially trade with them via Destiny Bond. However, Froslass’s rather low bulk leaves it vulnerable to being easily KOed. Additionally, Froslass has difficulty defeating common Sticky Web setters on hyper offense teams like Slurpuff and Mental Herb Shuckle. Furthermore, although base 110 Speed is adequate, Calyrex-S outspeeds and can use Substitute in front of Froslass and proceed to cause problems to the hyper offense teams it is commonly utilized on.
