#11. Never build a hail team that cant deal with Fire, Fighting, and Rock moves.

Man i see new players making this mistake so much, just because its a hail team doesnt give you the excuse to slack off with your teambuilding and slap on 6 Ice-types, in fact, that is probably worst possible thing you could do when building a hail team. Ice is probably the worst defensive type in the game, its weak to 3 really common attacking types along with Stealth Rock, and any competent hail team should have a way around this. There are plenty of options for combating these types including Poliwrath, Slowking, Regirock, Qwilfish, Spiritomb and more! Theres no excuse not to try one on your hail team to cover its weakness to Gallade or Entei or Escavalier, if anything, it will improve your team tenfold.
