Abomasnow's Tier Ranking & Meta Analysis

Read meta analysis

Abomasnow PvE Analysis

Recommended moves

It’s bad, both as an Ice and Grass type. If you really like Abomasnow and are eager to use it in PvE, just Mega Evolve it. ⬆️

⚔️ Raids

It does have a nice moveset, but its damage output is ultimately not good enough. You may use it against Pokémon double weak to Ice-type moves, but then why not just Mega Evolve it? 🙂

🛡️ Gyms

Just like Snover, Abomasnow has seven weaknesses and thus, can be quickly beaten in Gyms. 😰

Abomasnow PvP Analysis

Recommended moves

🔵 Great League

In spite of its various weaknesses, Abomasnow thrives in several matchups. Powder Snow has stellar energy gains, which this Pokémon can combine with Energy Ball and Weather Ball/Icy Wind to pose a resounding threat to the meta. 👌

It’s particularly great against Dragon, Ground, Water, and Flying types, all of which are key Pokémon in the Great League and found in the list of Abomasnow’s victims. 📃

🟡 Ultra League

With a peak CP of 2670, XL Candy Abomasnow can breathe easier in the Ultra League, where the types it has an advantage over are more frequent. 🙌

It thrashes Mud Bois, Dragons, and Flyers, and even if it’s losing, quick Icy Wind spams can belittle even the toughest of foes. 🌬️

A very resourceful Pokémon that can change the tide of the battle with its amazing moves and coverage, Abomasnow is an asset. 🌟 However, be wary of Steel types.

🟣 Master League

Its low stats chain it to irrelevance in the Master League. 😔
