[Ooraloo]

"Try not to fall into the trap of using too many status moves. You need to attack to deal damage! Sandstorm might be helpful, but stat-boosting moves like Dragon Dance are much weaker in ASB. Instead of multiplying damage, each stat boost only increases/decreases damage by a flat 2 damage each."

[Cyberghost21]

Yea the DDance was dumb, I was just trying to avoid the extra damage from avalanche.

Stone Edge | Iron Head |Stone Edge
If Snorunt used protect then Taunt and push back actions
If Snorunt is to use disable then Taunt and push back actions

 

[Ooraloo]

"Nice substitutions, but Protect would prevent Taunt from working, so your first sub doesn't really do anything. Bide is a much more threatening move."
