PVE Offensive Moves Explanation

  • Leafage is the better fast move on offense, and hits hard with STAB.
  • Powder Snow takes better advantage of Abomasnow's stronger Ice-type charge moves. 
  • Weather Ball (Ice) is the best charge move available, and helps to fulfill an Ice-type role.
  • Blizzard and Icy Wind are a step down. 
  • Energy Ball isn't particularly strong, but can enable Abomasnow to be a good Grass-type attacker. 
  • Outrage has no use, and Razor Leaf is sub-par.

PVE Defensive Moves Explanation

  • Razor Leaf sports more than double the base power of Powder Snow or Leafage, making it better on defense. 
  • Weather Ball (Ice) is the best charge move for defense, can be used frequently as a 3-bar move, and is harder to dodge. 
  • Icy Wind is slightly stronger than Weather Ball, but only a small amount, and as a trade-off it's also easier to dodge.
  • Outrage offers relatively neutral coverage as a 2-bar move, but is easier to dodge. 
  • Energy Ball benefits from STAB but is very slow and predictable. 
  • Blizzard is a 1-bar move, which means this snow man might melt to Fire-type attacks before being able to use it. 

PVE Overview

Grass-type Pokemon are generally useful for their wide array in type coverage. Sadly, Abomasnow falls pretty far back in the pack of one of Pokemon Go’s most competitive types. While Ice-type attackers aren’t as generally useful, Abomasnow fairs better among the Ice-types, though it's still not outstanding in this niche when not Mega Evolved. In fact, it's just not worth raising an Abomasnow for raids unless it's specifically to Mega Evolve it.

PvP Moveset Explanation

Powder Snow + Weather Ball (Ice) and Energy Ball

The rebalance to Abomasnow following the July 2020 introduction of Season 3 in Go Battle League gave the snowman much needed tools to its moveset. Powder Snow is now recommended for its fast energy generation. Razor Leaf features incredible damage output with STAB, but is held back by the worst energy gains in PvP. Leafage is a decent move, having relatively balanced damage and energy, and can be a viable choice, but Abomasnow often prefers to focus on its Ice-type damage due to it being a superior offensive type.

The addition of Weather Ball (Ice) is a significant improvement, costing low amounts of energy for very respectable DPE (Damage Per Energy) efficiency, and can be spammed very frequently. Energy Ball is recommended with Powder Snow movesets for additional STAB coverage. Outrage costs a lot of energy and is generally not recommended, but can be useful with Razor Leaf movesets. 

PvP Rating Explanation

Great League: 4 / 5

Abomasnow's unique Grass/Ice typing makes it a wonderful, yet risky, corebreaker. 7 weaknesses is nothing to shrug off, with Fire being a particularly hazardous one. However, very few Pokemon can claim the honor of being a Grass-type that can destroy Flying-types, or being an Ice-type that can break apart Water-types. It is also a Grass-type Pokemon that destroys most other Grasses. With a wonderfully spammy Weather Ball by its side, Abomasnow deals relentless, consistent damage.

Ultra League: 4 / 5

The level 50 update improves Abomasnow's performance in Ultra League significantly, as it directly benefits from access to additional stats needed to reach the CP cap of Ultra League. With access to a very fast moveset that can be spammed easily, Abomasnow's coverage is quite valuable in a meta that sees frequent usage of Dragon and Water-types. It should also be noted that Abomasnow's fast access to STAB Weather Ball gives it significant advantages against any other Grass-types that do exist in Ultra League. 

Master League: 0 / 5

Things start to really heat up in the Master League, and this snowman doesn't like the heat.
