Pros and Cons:
+ Faster, more offensive Aurora Veils than any metagame has previously had, in Ninetales-A and Abomasnow. Mega Froslass' speed tier is faster than a vast majority of the metagame, boasting revenging capability.
+ Wide set diversity with access to a great support movepool, and both setup and coverage options.
+ Strong STAB combination that is very difficult to check defensively due to its high Special Attack stat.
- Without access to Heavy-Duty-Boots, or Light Clay, Mega Froslass becomes very weak to hazards, particularly Stealth Rocks.
- In a weather dominant dex, inculding Torkoal, Mega Charizard Y, Politoed, Pelipper, Tyranitar, and Mega Tyranitar, Mega Froslass may struggle to keep control of weather wars in order to make use of its Aurora Veil and Blizzard access.

Checks and Counters:

Other weather setters, predominantly Sun and Sand, both offensively and defensively are difficult for Mega Froslass to both setup screens and make offensive progress against.


Dark, Steel, and Fire types typically will force Mega Froslass out, especially Choice Scarf and priority users like Meowscarada, Krookodile, Aegislash, and Scizor, with Setup users like Volcarona and Kingambit being particularly problematic over time.
____________________
Potiential Teammates:

Strong hazard removal is likely a necessity with Mega Froslass, allowing it more opportunities to come in without fear of getting chipped down by Stealth Rocks and Spikes.


Setup users to make use of Mega Froslass' Aurora Veil will likely be key on hyper-offensive structures, allowing wincons to be setup, even with reduced screen turns.
____________________
Overall, Mega Froslass looks to be an extremely meta defining force offering a strong STAB combination and options for offensive and utility sets. It will likely be a key piece on hyper offense, making use of Aurora Veil, as well as its access to status spreading and hazards.
