PvE Analysis

Mega Abomasnow is introduced as the first Ice-type Mega Pokemon in Pokemon Go, and while not quite up to par with Mega Glalie, it's still a very solid Mega Evolution that has occasional niches over the competition thanks to its sub-Grass typing. With a DPS that's just a bit behind Galarian Darmanitan and a TDO that's fairly solid for an Ice Type, it's a solid choice overall that can definitely pull its own weight when fighting anything weak to Ice. However, when it's not somehow providing a benefit against select movesets, Mega Abomasnow's Grass sub-typing can also be a hinderance just as frequently. This is especially true against Flying Types or anything packing Fire Type coverage moves. It has a bit of DPS vs TDO competition with Mega Glalie, but in most cases which is best will come down to if Mega Abomasnow's Grass sub-typing helps or hurts it.

As for its performance as a Grass Type; it's one of the weaker Grass Type Mega Evolutions, but it's generally okay to bring along if you lack its competition.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

Powder Snow + Weather Ball IceBest
  • Mega Abomasnow's bread-and-butter is Ice Type damage, so aim for Powder Snow and Weather Ball (Ice) to give it maximum power.
  • Mega Abomasnow is actually a fairly capable Grass attacker as well, so Leafage and Energy Ball is the way to go.
  • Razor Leaf is a weaker Fast Move option, while Blizzard, Icy Wind, and Outrage serve no viable purpose on offense.
