This team has done very well since I started using it, but I still feel as though I need it rated because I think it could do better.
Mamoswine (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spd/2 SAtk
Adamant nature (+Atk, -SAtk)
- Stealth Rock
- Ice Shard
- Earthquake
- Protect
---
This Mamoswine lead has done okay. Its ice shard promptly removes Aerodactyl and other leads weak to ice, and it also destroys infernape with the earthquake/focus sash/ice shard combo. It dies a lot, and for me that's a problem because it sometimes doesn't have a chance to lay down stealth rock and it rarely uses protect. It would also do well with its snow cloak ability in the hail. I think it could use a better ev spread. This guy is usually missing in action around the third turn or so.
Abomasnow (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Snow Warning
EVs: 4 HP/252 Spd/252 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Blizzard
- Focus Punch
---
This guy works out sometimes even though it dies often. I use it mostly as a leech seed spreader on bulky water type pokemon like vaporeon, suicune and sometimes swampert since it resists their water type moves. It also covers steel types like heatran if it already has a substitute up. If it doesn't kill it, I at least weakened it and i usually switch out afterwards. It is imperative that this stays alive in case of a tyranitar.
Froslass (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Snow Cloak
EVs: 34 HP/252 Spd/224 SAtk
Timid nature (+Spd, -Atk)
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave
- Spikes
- Blizzard
---
Froslass can be amazing if i get lucky and get have the guy miss on one of the subs. then I can paralyze and have it made even harder to hit. The only problem with it though is that if it makes too many subs and actually gets hit on the thunderwave, it becomes pretty much useless and has to be used as a one time revenge weakener (not killer lol). If froslass cant hit the pokemon i usually just make it spike since it cant get hit.
Rotom-f @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP/120 Def/2 Spd/136 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Blizzard
- Thunderbolt
- Rest
- Sleep Talk

This pokemon is the best on the team. It switches in on unsuspecting breloom and sleep talks on them, and if im lucky, I OHKO it with a blizzard.
This guy also is here for absorbing all fighting, steel, ground, and normal attacks that ice types hate oh so very much.
Tentacruel (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Liquid Ooze
EVs: 252 HP/2 Atk/120 Def/136 SDef
Calm nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic Spikes
- Rapid Spin
- Blizzard
- Surf
---
Tentacruel is my main counter to tyranitar, because I needed a rapid spinner that could also use water moves. I usually just switch this guy in where there is a tyranitar or if there is stealth rock and then use surf in case of a rapid spin blocker, and then i spin away. this also helps block draco meteoring or outraging dragons since blizzard hits 100% of the time.
Moltres @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 248 HP/148 Def/112 Spd
Bold nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Flamethrower
- Roost
- Will-o-wisp
- Substitute
---
This guy kills all those annoying steel types like scizor, lucario, and forretress and absorbs earthquake. nothing much else needs to be said about it except for the fact that it has a whopping 4x weakness to stealth rock, which can easily be roosted off, but moltres becomes useless if tentacruel is dead and it is weakened already. Moltres also burns physical sweepers which becomes a very big help later in the matches.
That is my team. Overall It has done extremely well and has lost rarely. It just has a lot of weaknesses that are only covered by 2-3 pokemon. please rate.
