I've been up against probably about 7-8 Abomasnows this tournament. Some were against mono-hail teams, which I was able to beat handily. Others were those damn hailstall/trick room teams which are the bane of my Rain Team's existence. I know there's a counter to those somewhere, and I have to...

Ash, your team is top notch. I have so much to learn about the VGC. GG.

Ash I am going against you now. Best of luck to you. - Sam from NY.

Spring from None (1600+) DC'd when they were down to their Durant with 1HP. Keep an eye out.

I only joined Smogon recently, and this is my first time posting on here. I was at the Philly tournament this year and ended up placing 33rd in the Green flight with a 5-2 record overall. One of my opponents was a no-show, so it really tanked my resistance and left me as the last ranked 5-2 team...
