All I know about Acrobat is that it'll mess up any strategy involving 100% accuracy Blizzard abuse from Abomasnow's instant hail in triple battles. Since Acrobat can hit Pokemon that can't normally be hit in triple battles, it's probably going to be able to 1 or 2 hit KO the poor thing.
All of this is just in theory, of course. Even though it's obviously not going to like getting hit with Blizzard after Abomasnow bites the dust.
Edit: That secondary effect only applies for triple battles, not triple and rotation both.

edit: Wait, what point are you making here?
How will Acrobat ruin this strategy? Hail will still be in effect?

And naturally Glaceon would get it, just to stab Flareon in the back again.
I would love this so much. Mamoswine is one of my all time favorite Pokemon. He really needs the boost he deserves.
It'd be neat to see how something like that would effect the other ice type sweepers like Glaceon and etc.
And Regice.
Get Nasty Plot, and Regice becomes a scary, scary poke that hits insanely hard as well as being freaking bulky.
If not, Regice should get Snow Warning.
Dream world Regice?
Snow Warning would be great on Froslass if the gave her some better Ghost moves,or made some better Ghost moves.
When I think of Hail getting a boost, Attack or Special Attack always comes to mind. In reality, though, the best one would have to be Speed. Considering Ice is a heavily offensive type, this would really help grab the edge over its competition (Especially with Mamoswine, like Scicky stated). The main problem with hail is not really that it's underpowered, but that the Ice pokemon in general are underpowered in the currant metagame. If there were more type combinations paired with offensively viable pokemon, I think that it would be much better.
The only current types that pair with Ice are Water, Dark, Grass, Psychic, Ground and Flying. That's only a little over 1/3rd of every type we've got, as well as Water and Flying being the only type used more than once with it. Who here wants to see Ice/Electric?
Another, more useful pokemon with Snow Warning would also be good, since Abomasnow just doesn't cut it. Probably something that can easily switch in on the likes of Tyranitar and such. An Ice/Steel type with Levitate would do the trick, since it resists or is immune to everything that it isn't weak to (Fire and Fighting) other than Water and Electric

Maybe my favorite Ice, Cloyster, can make good use of that, as a mixed attacker or a fast supporter (Darn GF! Why a Sp.Def sooooooo low?)
I think the Regi's would probably appreciate Solid Rock more. Fire is bad but Regice also has to worry about Rock and Fighting. :/
I don't know what's this Dream World is about. I don't follow the news lol.
Care to explain?
Wait, how a poke's going to get both Levitate and Snow Warning?
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Pokémon Black and White. Operated via an internet website which is not yet operational, the Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way a Generation V analog to the Pokéwalker.
Pokémon that are found here are not found in the Isshu region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a Generation IV game to be used. Several of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.
Can we please have a move like the legendary Earthquake which has 100 attack power with no draw-back?
Oh, thanks.
This means that maybe we can't get a legendary with a new ability there right?
Because... it's a legendary poke.
We have Return woot
Can we get a Steel version of Head Smash and give it to Aggron?
2 150 BP STAB moves. Hippowdon is nothing before Aggron's power.
Give it DD and i'll ask nothing more.
double power if no item, can reach anyone in triple battles
Also presumably Flying type, since it's SE on Tsutaja.
Its a move learned by Yanappu which allows it to attack Pokemon not normally in its attack range in triple battles.
And it has double power if it doesnt have a item,and its supposedly Flying type.
Swampert is more popular and still gives troubles. Maybe they could give Aggron Seed Bomb as well. Steels in general would still be problematic, especially Bronzong with Earthquake.
Well... If Mantine can learn it, Aggron can too.
@Grammarian: Return, Frustration and Judgement.
