Overview
########

  • Good mixed attacking stats
  • Poor defensive typing giving 7 weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to fire
  • Respectable 90/105/105 defences allow it to take non STAB super effective hits
  • Does however have good resistances to electric, ground, grass and water
  • Snow Warning gives 100% accurate blizzards
  • Is a good rain check
  • Dies if you hold a lighter near it
  • Base 30 speed makes it perfect for Trick Room
  • Very useful for scaring out Amoonguss as it can't be spored and can hit back very hard


Mega Trick Room attacker
########
name: Mega Trick Room attacker
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Abomasite
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
ivs: 0 Spe
nature: Quiet

Moves
========

  • Blizzard is the main STAB attack, given 100% accuracy while hail is active. Hits grass, ground, flying and dragon types super effectively
  • Giga Drain recovers health and beats water types like Rotom W, Politoed and Mega Swampert
  • Ice shard is STAB priority to allow you to snipe Landorus-T or Skymin outside of Trick Room
  • Protect stop damage for a turn to allow you to faint a threat to Abomasnow or re set Trick Room

Set Details
========

  • Being a Trick Room attacker allows Abomasnow to invest 252 HP EVs because of the lack of need for speed
  • 252 SpA EVs with a Modest nature give Blizzard and Giga Drain as much power as possible
  • 4 spare EVs in Atk for Ice Shard
  • 0 Speed EVs and 0 speed IVs ensure you are as slow as possible for Trick Room
  • Snow Warning is used over Sound Proof as without Snow Warning, it can't switch into rain as well

Usage Tips
========

  • Snow Warning actives again upon mega evolution, so weather wars require mega evolving at the right time
  • Is great brought out late game, when things like Talonflame and Heatran are gone, but also works early on to soften things up with Blizzard
  • Not a great lead, as its best to ensure Trick Room is up before you bring it in, be wary of switch-ins before mega evolving as its a lot less bulky in non mega form
  • Wide Guard blocks Blizzard and leaves Aboma vulnerable
  • Being Immune to Spore is great for a Trick Room mega as it takes some pressure off vs Amoonguss
Team Options
========
  • Trick Room is required, Chandelure and Cresselia are great picks as Chand hits Steel and Ice types that Abomasnow can't damage, while Cress can use Helping Hand to boost Abomasnow's Blizzards. Reuniclus can use overcoat to avoid hail damage and be immune to spore, forming a nice dual counter to Amoonguss trying to shut Trick Room down
  • Non mega Diancie can set Trick Room, beats Talonflame and hits Heatran hard
  • Talonflame deals with Fighting types that Aboma doesn't like, Gale Wings isn't affected by Trick Room so it fits
  • Heatran can use Flash Fire to take fire moves aimed at Aboma
  • Water types are needed to deal with opposing Fire types, Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom W can beat Heatran and Flying types. Keldeo can switch in on alot of Abomas weaknesses and Quick Guard to protect from Talonflame and Scizor
  • Greninja, Kyurem and Genesect can provide fast Blizzard spam when Trick Room is down, Greninja also beats Fires


Focus sash attacker
########
name: Focus sash attacker
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Energy Ball / Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Focus Sash
evs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Rash Nature

Moves
========

  • Blizzard is the main STAB attack, given 100% accuracy while hail is active. Hits grass, ground, flying and dragon types super effectively
  • Energy Ball is used over Giga Drain on this set for more power and because non mega abomasnow having less than ideal bulk
  • Ice shard is STAB priority to allow you to snipe Landorus-T or Skymin
  • Protect stop damage for a turn to allow you to faint a threat to Abomasnow

Set Details
========

  • Max SpA give optimal power from Blizzard and Energy Ball
  • Max Speed outspeeds scarf landorus T while Tailwind is up
  • HP and defence aren't invested in because Focus Sash negates the need for them
  • Rash nature to avoid cutting Ice Shards power too much
  • Speed beats Standard Rotom Wash

Usage Tips
========

  • This set greatly appreciates Tailwind support, as Aboma is kind of a sitting duck without speed control
  • Focus Sash allows for carelessness and cushions its many weaknesses
  • With a Focus Sash, it can live a Brave Bird from Talonflame, and actually kill back with Blizzard after recoil and hail damage is factored in
  • Non megas damage output is not as desireable as mega aboma so be weary of missing some KOs
  • As with its mega set, its best to bring this set in late game when some checks or counters have been removed, or early on to damage some walls

Team Options
========

  • Tailwind support is needed for this set to have any significant effect. Zapdos and Togekiss can set Tailwind, but Suicune is the best fit as it can kill fire types that trouble aboma
  • A solid answer to Talonflame is needed as if Snows sash has been broken, its helpless. Options include mega diancie and landorus t
  • Fighting types like Terrakion and Keldeo, or fire types like heatran work well as aboma can't kill steels very well. Terrak and Keld also provide Quick guard support
Other Options
########

  • Earthquake can be used but can't OHKO Heatran at all
  • Wood Hammer is an option over Giga Drain with an alternative spread of 208 HP / 48 Atk / 252 SpA to get KOs on Rotom W, Jellicent and Tyranitar
  • Energy Ball is an option if you want more damage > recovery

Overview
########

Mega Abomasnow has great mixed attacking stats, allowing it to serve as a good wallbreaker. Its poor defensive typing gives it seven weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to Fire, but its respectable 90 / 105 / 105 bulk means it can stand up to non-STAB super effective hits quite well. Resistances to Ground, Water, Electric, and Grass, allow it to function as a good rain check. Base 30 Speed means Abomasnow is perfect for Trick Room, and its immunity to Spore is a great asset for a Trick Room attacker.

Mega Trick Room Attacker
########
name: Mega Trick Room Attacker
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Abomasite
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
ivs: 0 Spe
nature: Quiet

Moves
========

Blizzard is Abomasnow's main STAB attack, as the hail Abomasnow summons gives it 100% accuracy. It hits Dragon-, Flying-, Grass-, and Ground-types for super effective damage, and has overall good neutral coverage. Giga Drain gives Abomasnow a way to get some health back and beat Water-types such as Rotom-W, Politoed, and Mega Swampert. Abomasnow gets access to STAB priority in Ice Shard, allowing it to snipe Pokemon such as Landorus-T outside of Trick Room. Protect lets Abomasnow avoid a hit while its teammate defeats a threat or resets Trick Room.

Set Details
========

252 HP EVs boost Abomasnow's natural bulk greatly and 252 Special Attack EVs give Blizzard and Giga Drain maximum power. 0 Speed IVs with a Quiet nature ensure that Abomasnow can take full advantage of Trick Room, and the 4 spare EVs are placed into Attack to boost the power of Ice Shard. Snow Warning is preferred over Soundproof, as although Soundproof gives Abomasnow the most hail turns, it means Abomasnow can't reliably switch into rain until it Mega Evolves.

Usage Tips
========

Snow Warning will activate again upon Mega Evolution, so finding the right moment to Mega Evolve can be the key to winning weather wars. Abomasnow works well early-game as a way to soften up walls and late-game as a finisher once its threats are removed. It also likes a clean switch in, as its lower bulk before Mega Evolving makes it risky to come in directly. Be wary of Wide Guard, as it leaves Abomasnow very open to attacks.

Team Options
========

Trick Room support is needed for this set to meet its full potential. Chandelure is a great teammate, as it can switch in to Fire-type attacks and set up Trick Room, as well as beat Steel- and Ice-types. Cresselia has the bulk to take attacks aimed at Abomasnow and can boost Abomasnow's Blizzards with Helping Hand. Reuniclus is immune to hail thanks to Overcoat, has access to Spore, can set up Trick Room, and forms a dual counter to Amoonguss, a big threat in Trick Room. Diancie can set up Trick Room, beat Talonflame, and puts a huge dent in Heatran. Talonflame can beat Fighting-types for Abomasnow, and its Gale Wings Brave Bird bypasses Trick Room, so Talonflame isn't held back by it. Heatran walls Steel-types and also has Flash Fire to take Fire-type attacks for Abomasnow. Water-types are required to beat Fire-types; Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom-W beats Heatran and Flying-types. Keldeo can switch in on a lot of moves Abomasnow is weak to and provides Quick Guard to block priority attacks aimed at Abomasnow. Greninja, Genesect, and Kyurem can all use Blizzard well to take advantage of hail, and they also function well outside of Trick Room.

Focus Sash Attacker
########
name: Focus Sash Attacker
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Energy Ball / Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Focus Sash
evs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
nature: Rash

Moves
========

Blizzard is hits Ground-, Grass-, Dragon-, and Flying-types for super effective damage, and it has 100% accuracy due to hail. Energy Ball is used on this set over Giga Drain, as Abomasnow's bulk isn't as great as that of its Mega Evolution, and the extra power is nice. Ice Shard is used to hit weakened Pokemon that outspeed Abomasnow. Protect allows Abomasnow to stall opposing field conditions as well as keep itself safe while its partner hits threats or while hail finishes a weakened foe.

Set Details
========

252 Special Attack EVs give Abomasnow maximum damage output to take advantage of its powerful STAB attacks. Maximum Speed investment lets Abomasnow outspeed Choice Scarf Landorus-T while Tailwind is active and also lets Abomasnow beat standard Rotom-W. The spread does not invest in Abomasnow's bulk, because the Focus Sash negates the need for it. A Rash nature preserves some power for Ice Shard.

Usage Tips
========

Tailwind support is highly recommended, as Abomasnow doesn't outspeed much without it. Focus Sash allows you to take more risks, as it essentially negates Abomasnow's many weaknesses, allowing it to take a Brave Bird from Talonflame and KO back with Blizzard after recoil, Life Orb, and hail damage are factored in. Abomasnow doesn't hit as hard as its Mega Evolution does, so be wary of the decreased power and the KOs it can miss. This set works early-game against bulkier Pokemon or as a late-game cleaner.

Team Options
========

Tailwind helps this set a great deal, so Zapdos and Togekiss make for great partners, and Suicune is notable because it can switch in to Fire-type attacks and either scare their users out for a free Tailwind or attack them. Mega Diancie and Landorus-T beat Talonflame, which is important, as Abomasnow is a sitting duck if its Focus Sash is broken. Fighting-types such as Terrakion and Keldeo can beat Steel-types and provide Quick Guard support.

Other Options
########

Earthquake is an option, but it can't OHKO Heatran. Wood Hammer can be used over Giga Drain on the Mega set with an alternative EV spread of 208 HP / 48 Atk / 252 SpA in order to OHKO Rotom-W, Jellicent, and Tyranitar.


Checks & Counters
########

**Typing Advantage**: Abomasnow cannot take Fire-type attacks. Heatran is the main issue, as it's the most commonly seen Fire-type. Volcarona hits Abomasnow for super effective damage with both of its STAB moves and resists Abomasnow's attacks. Chandelure is a problem because it is a common Trick Room setter and walls Abomasnow; Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y completely destroy it as well. (Mega) Scizor can bypass speed control and hit Abomasnow with a Technician-boosted Bullet Punch or take a Blizzard and use Bug Bite. Talonflame is a huge threat to Abomasnow, as both of its STAB moves destroy it and Brave Bird ignores speed control. Rotom-H resists both of Abomasnow's STAB moves and can OHKO it with Overheat. Steel-types in general wall Abomasnow and should be dealt with before attempting to sweep. Aegislash doesn't care about Blizzard or Giga Drain and can hit Abomasnow hard with Flash Cannon. Bisharp and Genesect also resist both of Abomasnow's STAB moves and can OHKO it back. Mawile, Bisharp, Ferrothorn, Escavalier, and Jirachi can all take Abomasnow's hits and hit back very hard.

**Utility**: Wide Guard from Pokemon such as Hitmontop blocks Blizzard and leaves Abomasnow vulnerable to attacks; Hitmontop can also do big damage to Abomasnow damage with Close Combat. Abomasnow usually has the advantage in Trick Room; however, be careful of opposing Trick Room teams carrying Mega Camerupt, because it is slower than Mega Abomasnow, and can hit it with Heat Wave for an easy OHKO.

I thought I was the only one who thought the sash set was good :)

I'll do that today
 
merge the two tags into **Typing Advantages**, take nonmega out of oo, add more common threats to c&c (cause there's a lot), and 1/3
 
Overview
  • change the order of point 2 and 3 and mention that the bulk allows it to take non STAB super effective hits
  • not a massive block to rain since a bunch of common rain picks handle it, "good rain check" is more appropriate
mega

Usage Tips
  • "Best brought out late game, when things like Talonflame and Heatran are gone" <-- aboma is actually p good early early to soften up walls with blizzard - say it's best either early or late.
Team Options
  • Diancie can TR and also beat tflame and dent tran
  • Keldeo switches in on most of abomas weaknesses and provides quick guard support

sash

Moves
  • Energy Ball is used over Giga Drain on this set for more power and because non mega abomasnow having less than ideal bulk <-- giga is the only move on the set (keep giga btw just rewrite this)
Set Details
  • You invest in Speed / Attacking stats because the sash means you dont need HP / Def
  • Speed also beats standard washtom
Usage Tips
  • Focus Sash is there to let you use Abomasnow recklessly and alleviate it's poor defensive typing to an extent
  • As with its mega set, its best to bring this set in late game when some checks or counters have been removed <-- or to soften up walls early on7
Team Options
  • Mention Keldeo alongside Terrakion and also say they have Quick Guard
Other Options
  • but most carry Shuca, and even without it doesn't OHKO <--- drop the bit about shuca just say it doesn't OHKO

oLo

When talking about Mega Aboma v Trick Room, gotta mention how it's super nice how it scares out Amoonguss and can't be Spored. That's honestly important enough that it could go in the Overview.

Ice Shard isn't really for Focus Sash users. Hail already KOs those. Just generally good to have priority and it can snipe low HP things. Sash isn't typically it tho. (this goes for both sets)

Mention why Soundproof->Snow Warning isn't as good in mega's set details, even though it gives MAboma the most hail turns. (Reason being it can't switch in nearly as effectively against Rain teams.)

looks fine overall 3/3

Energy Ball is used on this set over Giga Drain, as Non-Mega (capitalize and add hyphen) Abomasnow's bulk isn't as great as its mega forme, and the extra power is nice. Ice Shard is to hit things at low health that outspeed Abomasnow or if Trick Room is down.

Set Details
========

252 Special Attack gives Abomasnow maximum damage output to take advantage of its powerful STAB attacks. Maximum speed investment outspeeds Scarf Landorus-T while Tailwind is active. HP and Defence Defense / Special Defence Defense aren't invested in, as because the Focus Sash negates the need for them. A Rash (capitalize) nature preserves some power for Ice Shard. The Speed investment also beats standard Rotom-Wash.

Usage Tips
========

Tailwind is highly recommended as Abomasnow doesn't outspeed much without it. The Focus Sash allows you to be careless as it essentially negates a lot (space between "a lot") of Abomasnow's (add apostrophe) many weaknesses. The Sash allows it to take a Brave Bird from Talonflame, and KO back with Blizzard after recoil and Life Orb / Hail Damage (lowercase) is factored in. Non-mega (add hyphen) doesn't hit as hard as its mega forme, so be weary of the decreased power and the KOs it can miss.

Fighting-types (lowercase) like such as Terrakion and Keldeo, (AC) can beat Steel-types (lowercase) and provide Quick Guard support.

Other Options
########

Earthquake is an option, but it can't OHKO Heatran at all. Wood Hammer can be used over Giga Drain on the Mega set with an alternative EV spread of 208 HP / 48 Atk / 252 SpA in order to get OHKOes on Rotom-Wash, Jellicent, (AC) and Tyranitar. Energy Ball can also be used over Giga Drain for some more damage.


Checks & Counters
########

**Type advantage**: Abomasnow dies to anything fire related. Heatran is the main issue as its the most commonly seen Fire-type. (capitalize and add hyphen) Scizor / Mega Scizor can bypass speed control and hit it with an Adaptability (capitalize) Bullet Punch, or can take a Blizzard and use Bug Bite back. Talonflame is Yeti enemy #1. Both STABs destroy it and one ignores speed control. Rotom-H (add hyphen) takes nothing from either resists both of Abomasnow's (add apostrophe) STABs, and can OHKO with Overheat. Aegislash doesn't care about Blizzard or Giga Drain, and can hit hard with Flash Cannon. Bisharp and Genesect also resist both STABs and can OHKO. Steel-types (add hyphen) in general, (AC) wall Abomasnow and should be dealt with before attempting to sweep. Opposing Chandelure are a problem as because it is a common Trick Room setter, and walls Abomasnow. (period) to hell. Mega Charizard X/Y (And X) completely destroys you too it as well. Volcarona has dual super effective STABs and resists Abomasnow's (add apostrophe) attacks. Mawile, Bisharp, Ferrothron, Escavalier, (AC) and Jirachi can all take hits and hit back very hard. (I'm going to say the types should be separated. "Steel types in general wall Abomasnow and should be dealt with before attempting to sweep." I'd Take the Aegislash and the Bisharp/Genesect sentences and place them after that sentence. Same thing goes for Mega Charizard X/Y, Chandelure, and Volcarona in moving them in the fire topic).

**Utility**: Wide guard blocks Blizzard and leaves Abomasnow vulnerable to attack, Hitmontop can also do big damage with Close Combat. Abomasnow usually has the advantage in Trick Room, however, (AC) be careful of opposing Trick Room teams carrying Mega Camerupt, as because it is slower than Mega Abomasnow.

be careful when implementing checks; there were some leftover bold letters that may have resulted from copy/pasting the previous check, so avoid that please

Overview
########

Mega Abomasnow has great mixed attacking stats, allowing it to serve as a good wallbreaker. Its has a poor defensive typing gives, giving it 7 seven weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to Fire, but its. Its respectable 90 / 105 / 105 defenses bulk (this only applies to Mega Abomasnow, so I specified that it's Mega at the beginning of this paragraph) means it can stand up to non-STAB super effective hits quite well. Resistances to Ground, Water, Electric, and Grass, (remove comma) allow it to function as a good rain check. Base 30 Speed means its Abomasnow is perfect for Trick Room, and its immunity being immune to Spore is a great asset for a Trick Room attacker.

Mega Trick Room Attacker
########

Moves
========

Blizzard is Abomasnow's main STAB attack, as the hail Abomasnow summons gives it 100% accuracy. It hits, Hits Dragon-, Flying-, Grass-, (comma) and Ground-types super effectively, and has overall good neutral coverage can also do good neutral damage. Giga Drain gives Abomasnow a way to get some health back, (remove comma) and beat Water-types such as Rotom-Wash, Politoed, and Mega Swampert. Abomasnow gets access to STAB priority in Ice Shard, allowing it to snipe things like Pokemon such as Landorus-T outside of Trick Room. Protect lets Abomasnow avoid a hit while its teammate defeats a threat or resets Trick Room is defeated, or when Trick Room is reseted.

Set Details
========

252 HP EVs boost Abomasnow's Abomasnow being used for Trick Room allows it to invest 252 EVs into HP, boosting its natural bulk greatly. 252 Special Attack EVs give gives Blizzard and Giga Drain maximum power. Minimum Speed with a Quiet nature ensures it Abomasnow can take full advantage of Trick Room. The 4 spare EVs are placed into Attack for to boost the power of Ice Shard. Snow Warning is preferred over Soundproof, as although Soundproof it gives Abomasnow the most Hail turns, it means Abomasnow can't reliably switch into rain until it Mega Evolves.

Usage Tips
========

Snow Warning will activate again upon Mega Evolution, so finding the right moment to Mega Evolve can be the key to winning weather wars. Abomasnow works well early-game as a way to soften up walls, or late game and late-game as a finisher once its threats are removed. It also likes a clean switch in, as its lower bulk before Mega Evolving makes it risky to come in directly coming in before it mega evolves leaves it at risk due to its decreased bulk. Be weary wary of Wide Guard, (comma) as it leaves Abomasnow very open to attacks.

Team Options
========

Trick Room is needed for this set to meet its real full potential. Chandelure is a great teammate, as it can switch in to Fire-type attacks and set up Trick Room, as well as beating Steel- and Ice-types. Cresselia can has (cheezburger flashbacks...) the bulk to take attacks things aimed at Abomasnow, (remove comma) and can boost its Abomasnow's Blizzards with Helping Hand. Reuniclus has Overcoat so it is immune to hail damage, Spore, set up Trick Room, and also forms a dual counter to Amoonguss, a big threat to Trick Room. Reuniclus is immune to hail thanks to Overcoat, has access to Spore, can set up Trick Room, and forms a dual counter to Amoonguss, a big threat in Trick Room. Non-Mega Diancie can set up Trick Room, beats Talonflame, and puts a huge dent on in Heatran. Talonflame can beat Fighting-types for Abomasnow, and its Gale Wings Brave Bird bypasses Trick Room, (comma) so Talonflame isn't held back by it. Heatran walls Steel-types and also has Flash Fire to take Fire-type attacks for Abomasnow. Water-types are required to beat Fire-types,; (semicolon) Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom-Wash beats Heatran and Flying-types. Keldeo can switches in on a lot of moves Abomasnow is weak to and Abomasnow's weaknesses, and provides Quick Guard to block priority attacks aimed at Abomasnow. Greninja, Genesect, and Kyurem can all use Blizzard well to take advantage of hail, and they also function well when Trick Room is down.

nature: Rash Nature

Moves
========

Blizzard is the main STAB attack, hitting Ground-, Grass-, Dragon-, and Flying-types for super effective damage, and it has 100% accuracy due to hail. Energy Ball is used on this set over Giga Drain, as non Mega Abomasnow's bulk isn't as great as its Mega forme's, and the extra power is nice. Ice Shard is used to hit weakened Pokemon things at low health that outspeed Abomasnow or if Trick Room is down (this set isn't supposed to be used in Trick Room though, from what I can tell?). Protect allows it Abomasnow to stall opposing field conditions, (remove comma) as well as keep itself safe, (remove comma) while its partner hits threats, or while hail finishes a weakened foe opponent.

Set Details
========

252 Special Attack EVs give gives Abomasnow maximum damage output to take advantage of its powerful STAB attacks. Maximum Speed investment lets Abomasnow outspeed outspeeds Choice Scarf Landorus-T while Tailwind is active. It also lets Abomasnow beat standard Rotom-W. The spread does not invest in Abomasnow's bulk HP and Defense / Special Defense aren't invested in, because the Focus Sash negates the need for it them. A Rash nature preserves some power for Ice Shard. The Speed investment also beats standard Rotom-Wash.

Usage Tips
========

Tailwind is highly recommended, (comma) as Abomasnow doesn't outspeed much without it.

Overview
########

Abomasnow has great mixed attacking stats, allowing it to serve as a good wallbreaker. (combine wallbreaker) (yep, good) It has a poor defensive typing, giving it 7 (I like to write smaller numbers out, so this would be seven. doesn't apply to EVs though) weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to Fire. Its respectable 90/105/105 (this needs to be 90 / 105 / 105, with the spaces in between) defences defenses (yes, generally this would be the correct change. however, HP isn't a defense, so this should probably be bulk instead. also, if you kept it as defenses, which is plural, that doesn't match up with the following word...) means it can stand up to non STAB (non-STAB, probably) super effective hits quite well. Resistances to Ground, Water, Electric, (AC) (yes, we need the serial comma here, so that's good) and Grass, (AC) (a comma does not belong here.) allow it to function as a good rain check. Base 30 Speed means its (this needs to be it's. remember, it's = it is. its = possessive, like his or their.) perfect for Trick Room, and being immune to Spore is great for a Trick Room attacker.

Mega Trick Room attacker (capitalize set names; this needs to be Attacker)
########
name: Mega Trick Room attacker (same thing here)
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Abomasite
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
ivs: 0 Spe
nature: Quiet

Moves
========

Blizzard is Abomasnow's main STAB attack, as the hail Abomasnow summons gives it 100% accuracy. (remove period and add comma) Hits Dragon-, Flying-, Grass- and (need the serial comma after Grass-) Ground-types (lowercase) (yep, good) super effectively, and can also do good neutral damage. (okay, I see what you were doing here - lining up the verbs so it's gives, hits, and can do - and that would be fine, except the first one, gives, refers to hail. following that, you are actually saying that hail gives Blizzard 100% accuracy, hail hits Dragons super effectively, and hail can also do good neutral damage. of course, it's Blizzard that does the last two, not hail, so your change is incorrect.) Giga Drain gives Abomasnow a way to get some health back, (remove comma or add an it before beats) and beats Water-Types (types should be lowercase) such as Rotom-Wash, (supposed to be Rotom-W) Politoed, (AC) (yes, serial comma) and Mega Swampert. Abomasnow gets access to STAB priority in Ice Shard to snipe things like (remember to change this to such as) Landorus-T outside of Trick Room. Protect lets Abomasnow avoid a hit while a threat is defeated, (AC) or when (it was kind of unclear, but OP was saying that Protect lets Abomasnow avoid a hit while a threat is defeated or while Trick Room is being reset. adding this when messes up the meaning) Trick Room is reseted. (remove hyphen) (as far as I know, reseted is not a word.)

Set Details
========

Abomasnow being used for Trick Room allows it to invest 252 EVs into HP, boosting its natural bulk greatly. 252 Special Attack gives Blizzard and Giga drain (Drain should be capitalized) maximum power. Minimum Speed with a Quiet nature ensures it can take full advantage of Trick Room. The 4 spare EVs are placed into Attack for Ice Shard. Snow Warning is preferred over Sound Proof (Soundproof) as although Sound Proof (ditto) it gives the most Hail turns, it can't reliably switch into Rain until it megas. mega evolves. (correct to change OP's megas, but your addition should be capitalized to Mega Evolves)

Usage Tips
========

Snow Warning will activate again upon Mega Evolution, (capitalize) (yep) (you need some conjunction or something here, though. iirc I used so) finding the right moment to mega evolve (this needs to be capitalized) can be key to winning weather wars. Abomasnow works well early-game (add hyphen) (yeah!) as a way to soften up walls, or late-game (add hyphen) (mmhm) as a finisher once its threats are removed. It also like (it is singular, so this should be likes) a clean switch in, as coming in before it Mega Evolves (capitalize) (yeah) leaves it at risk due to its decreased bulk. Be weary (wary) of Wide Guard as because ('kay) it leaves Abomasnow very open to attack.

Team Options
========

Trick Room is needed for this set to meet its real potential. Chandelure is great as (this as is being used to mean because, so it needs a comma before it) it can switch in to Fire-Type (type needs to be lowercase) attacks and set up Trick Room, as well as beating Steel- and Ice-types. (lowecase) (yeah) Cresselia can (yeah) has the bulk to take things hits (good change) aimed at Abomasnow, (remove comma or add an it before can boost) and can boost its (I would clarify this because it could be read as Cresselia's Blizzard, not Abomasnow's Blizzard) Blizzards attack (not necessary) with Helping Hand. Reuniclus has Overcoat so (needs a comma before so) it is immune to hail damage, Spore, and can also set up Trick Room, (AC) and also forms a dual counter to Amoonguss, a big threat to Trick Room (there are other issues with this sentence that I don't really know how to explain). Non-Mega Diancie (capitalize and add hyphen) (good) can set up Trick Room, beats Talonflame, (AC) and puts a huge dents on Heatran (yep, good job with this sentence, although generally you put dents in something, not on them). Talonflame can beat Fighting-types (lowercase) (yes) for Abomasnow, and Brave Bird bypasses Trick Room so isn't held back by it (missing a comma and/or an it). Heatran walls Steel-types (lowercase) (right) and also has Flash Fire. Water-types (lowercase) (right) are required to beat Fire-Types, (lowercase) (yes on the lowercase, but that comma should be a semicolon...a colon could probably work too) Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom-Wash (Rotom-W) beats Heatran and Flying-types. (lowercase) Keldo Keldeo (yes and yes) switches in on a lot of Abomasnow's weaknesses, and provides (either remove comma or add an it before provides) Quick Guard to block priority aimed at Abomasnow. Greninja, Genesect, (AC) (yeah) and Kyurem can all use Blizzard well to take advantage of hail, and (remove comma or add a they before function) function well when Trick Room is down.

nature: Rash Nature (just Rash)

Moves
========

Blizzard is the main STAB attack, hitting Ground-, Grass-, Dragon-, and Flying-types (lowercase) (yeah) for super effective damage, and has (needs an it before has) 100% accuracy due to hail. Energy Ball is used on this set over Giga Drain, as Non-Mega (capitalize and add hyphen) (no, non should be lowercase. yes on that hyphen, though) Abomasnow's bulk isn't as great as its mega (capitalize Mega) forme, and the extra power is nice. Ice Shard is to hit things at low health that outspeed Abomasnow or if Trick Room is down. Protect lets you allows it to stall opposing field conditions, as well as keeps you itself safe, (AC) (no comma) while its partners hit threats, or while hail finishes a weakened opponent (opponent = the other battler. foe = the opposing Pokemon. therefore, this should be foe).

Set Details
========

252 Special Attack (EVs give) gives Abomasnow maximum damage output to take advantage of its powerful STAB attacks. Maximum (yep!) speed (capitalize) investment outspeeds (Choice) Scarf Landorus-T while Tailwind is active. HP and Defence Defense / Special Defence Defense (good job fixing the Defence stuff, but this could be worded better) aren't invested in, as because the Focus Sash negates the need for them. A Rash (capitalize) (yep) nature preserves some power for Ice Shard. The Speed investment also beats standard Rotom-Wash (Rotom-W).

Usage Tips
========

Tailwind is highly recommended as (needs comma before as) Abomasnow doesn't outspeed much without it. The Focus Sash allows you to be careless as (same thing here) it essentially negates a lot (space between "a lot") (ya) of Abomasnow's (add apostrophe) (good) many weaknesses. The Sash allows it to take a Brave Bird from Talonflame, (comma doesn't need to be there) and KO back with Blizzard after recoil and Life Orb / Hail Damage (lowercase) (right) is factored in. Non-mega (add hyphen) (yes to the hyphen, but Mega should be capitalized too) doesn't hit as hard as its mega (capital!!) forme, so be weary (the word is wary) of the decreased power and the KOs it can miss. This set works early on to dent against bulkier Pokemon, or as a late-game (add hyphen) (yes) cleaner.

Team Options
========

Tailwind helps this set a great deal, so Zapdos and Togekiss make great partners, and Suicune is notable because it can switch in to Fire-type (lowercase) (yeah) attacks and either scare them out for a free Tailwind, or attack them. Mega Diancie and Landorus-T (add hyphen) (good) beat Talonflame, (remove comma and add period) and a way to beat it is a must as if It is a must because if Abomasnow's Focus Sash is broken, its (remember the difference between its and it's...) a sitting duck. Fighting-types (lowercase) like such as (yes and yes) Terrakion and Keldeo, (AC) (why is there a comma here? there doesn't need to be one) can beat Steel-types (lowercase) (yes) and provide Quick Guard support.

Other Options

Earthquake is an option, but it can't OHKO Heatran at all. Wood Hammer can be used over Giga Drain on the Mega set with an alternative EV spread of 208 HP / 48 Atk / 252 SpA in order to get OHKOes (should be OHKOs. OHKOes is a verb, OHKOs is a noun. it may help to think of goes or does; those are verbs and they have the e) on Rotom-Wash (Rotom-W), Jellicent, (AC) (yes, serial comma) and Tyranitar. Energy Ball can also be used over Giga Drain for some more damage.

"Steel types in general wall Abomasnow and should be dealt with before attempting to sweep." I'd Take the Aegislash and the Bisharp/Genesect sentences and place them after that sentence. Same thing goes for Mega Charizard X/Y, Chandelure, and Volcarona in moving them in the fire topic). (you have a pretty good point here)

**Utility**: Wide guard (capitalize) blocks Blizzard and leaves Abomasnow (right) vulnerable to attack, (this comma is an issue) Hitmontop can also do big damage with Close Combat. Abomasnow (ya) usually has the advantage in Trick Room, (should be semicolon) however, (AC) (yeah) be careful of opposing Trick Room teams carrying Mega Camerupt, as because (not a necessary change, but it's not wrong) it is slower than Mega Abomasnow.

I have one small minor change - don't worry, this won't affect the GP checks.

Move the 4 HP on the Focus Sash set to Attack. As you've already said, no need for HP or defences due to the Sash, so may as well power up Ice Shard slightly more.

Usage Tips

Snow Warning will activate again upon Mega Evolution, so finding the right moment to Mega Evolve can be the key to winning weather wars. Abomasnow works well early-game as a way to soften up walls, or late game and late-game as a finisher once its threats are removed.

If Y is worth using (i.e. Soundproof) feel free to explain why (the way you did it doesn't really count as mentioning it as usable), but if not, then there's really no need to spell it out, as apparently it's so bad it's not worth mentioning at all.

You don't really need to say 'opposing' in checks and counters, obvsly your own chandelure isn't going to turn evil and set abomasnow aflame so yea.

Heatran walls Steel-types and also has Flash Fire to take Fire-type attacks for Abomasnow. Water-types are required to beat Fire-types; Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom-W beats Heatran and Flying-types. Keldeo can switch in on a lot of moves Abomasnow is weak to and provides Quick Guard to block priority attacks aimed at Abomasnow. Greninja, Genesect, and Kyurem can all use Blizzard well to take advantage of hail, and they also function well when Trick Room is down.

Checks & Counters

**Typing Advantage**: Abomasnow cannot take Fire-type attacks.;(period to semicolon) Heatran is the main issue, as it's the most commonly seen Fire-type. Volcarona hits Abomasnow super effectively with both of its STABs and resists Abomasnow's attacks. Opposing Chandelure is a problem because it is a common Trick Room setter and walls Abomasnow.;(period to semicolon) Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y completely destroy it as well. Scizor and Mega Scizor can bypass sSpeed control and hit Abomasnow with a Technician Bullet Punch or take a Blizzard and use Bug Bite. Talonflame is a huge threat to Abomasnow, as both of its STAB moves destroy it and Brave Bird ignores sSpeed control. Rotom-H resists both of Abomasnow's STAB moves and can OHKO it with Overheat. Steel-types in general wall Abomasnow and should be dealt with before attempting to sweep. Aegislash doesn't care about Blizzard or Giga Drain and can hit Abomasnow hard with Flash Cannon. Bisharp and Genesect also resist both of Abomasnow's STAB moves and can OHKO back. Mawile, Bisharp, Ferrothorn, Escavalier, and Jirachi can all take Abomasnow's hits and hit back very hard.

Overview
########

Mega Abomasnow has great mixed attacking stats, allowing it to serve as a good wallbreaker. Its poor defensive typing gives it seven weaknesses, including a 4x weakness to Fire, but its respectable 90 / 105 / 105 bulk means it can stand up to non-STAB super effective hits quite well. Resistances to Ground, Water, Electric, and Grass, allow it to function as a good rain check. Base 30 Speed means Abomasnow is perfect for Trick Room, and its immunity to Spore is a great asset for a Trick Room attacker.

Mega Trick Room Attacker
########
name: Mega Trick Room Attacker
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Ice Shard
move 4: Protect
ability: Snow Warning
item: Abomasite
evs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpA
ivs: 0 Spe
nature: Quiet

Moves
========

Blizzard is Abomasnow's main STAB attack, as the hail Abomasnow summons gives it 100% accuracy. It hits Dragon-, Flying-, Grass-, and Ground-types for super effectively damage, and has overall good neutral coverage. Giga Drain gives Abomasnow a way to get some health back and beat Water-types such as Rotom-W, Politoed, and Mega Swampert. Abomasnow gets access to STAB priority in Ice Shard, allowing it to snipe Pokemon such as Landorus-T outside of Trick Room. Protect lets Abomasnow avoid a hit while its teammate defeats a threat or resets Trick Room.

Set Details
========

252 HP EVs boost Abomasnow's natural bulk greatly. and 252 Special Attack EVs give Blizzard and Giga Drain maximum power. Minimum 0 Speed IVs with a Quiet nature ensures that Abomasnow can take full advantage of Trick Room.(full stop/period -> comma), and the 4 spare EVs are placed into Attack to boost the power of Ice Shard. Snow Warning is preferred over Soundproof, as although Soundproof gives Abomasnow the most hail turns, it means Abomasnow can't reliably switch into rain until it Mega Evolves.

Usage Tips
========

Snow Warning will activate again upon Mega Evolution, so finding the right moment to Mega Evolve can be the key to winning weather wars. Abomasnow works well early-game as a way to soften up walls and late-game as a finisher once its threats are removed. It also likes a clean switch in, as its lower bulk before Mega Evolving makes it risky to come in directly. Be wary of Wide Guard, as it leaves Abomasnow very open to attacks.

Team Options
========

Trick Room support is needed for this set to meet its full potential. Chandelure is a great teammate, as it can switch in to Fire-type attacks and set up Trick Room, as well as beat Steel- and Ice-types. Cresselia has the bulk to take attacks aimed at Abomasnow and can boost Abomasnow's Blizzards with Helping Hand. Reuniclus is immune to hail thanks to Overcoat, has access to Spore, can set up Trick Room, and forms a dual counter to Amoonguss, a big threat in Trick Room. Non-Mega Diancie can set up Trick Room, beats Talonflame, and puts a huge dent in Heatran. Talonflame can beat Fighting-types for Abomasnow, and its Gale Wings Brave Bird bypasses Trick Room, so Talonflame isn't held back by it. Heatran walls Steel-types and also has Flash Fire to take Fire-type attacks for Abomasnow. Water-types are required to beat Fire-types; Jellicent can set Trick Room, while Rotom-W beats Heatran and Flying-types. Keldeo can switch in on a lot of moves Abomasnow is weak to and provides Quick Guard to block priority attacks aimed at Abomasnow. Greninja, Genesect, and Kyurem can all use Blizzard well to take advantage of hail, and they also function well when outside of Trick Room is down.
