Moves
========
When combined with Abomasnow's hail, Blizzard becomes a very strong and spammable move that hits slower walls such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn for heavy damage and threatens a 2HKO on Reuniclus switching in. Combining this with Wood Hammer, Abomasnow becomes incredibly hard to switch into. Wood Hammer threatens the plethora of bulky Water-types that would want to come in on Blizzard such as Politoed, Rotom-W, and Jellicent and hits Tyranitar switching in trying to reset the weather. Focus Punch threatens damage on Clefable, Tyranitar, Heatran, and, when outside of hail, Ferrothorn switching in. Earthquake can be used as a surprise option to threaten heavy damage on Heatran, which otherwise would check Abomasnow, and hits Tyranitar and Tentacruel hard without taking the recoil damage Wood Hammer has. Hidden Power Fire is used to threaten KOs on Forretress and Scizor and deals heavy damage to Ferrothorn and Air Balloon Magnezone. Ice Shard picks off weakened Dragon-Types such as Latios, Garchomp, Dragonite, and Salamence, as well as breaking Alakazam's Focus Sash.

Set Details
========
212 Speed EVs allow Abomasnow to outspeed Rotom-W. Maximum Special Attack investment maximizes Blizzard's damage. The remaining EVs are put into Attack to give Abomasnow's coverage and priority moves as much power as possible. Alternatively, Abomasnow can run 252 Speed EVs in order to outrun Modest Hidden Power Fire Magnezone and to guarantee at least a Speed tie versus other neutral-natured Abomasnow.

Team Options
========
Mixed Abomasnow's best archetype is hyper offense, as it hits very hard and is immediately threatening early-game, which sets the pace well for aggressive teams. Dragon-type partners such as Dragonite, Latios, Garchomp, and Salamence all appreciate the hail chipping their Steel-type checks such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory, and Jirachi. Dragonite can hold Leftovers to keep its Multiscale intact in hail. In return, Abomasnow has priority Ice Shard to revenge kill Choice Scarf Dragon-types. Physical threats Mamoswine and Kyurem-B also appreciate Abomasnow's hail, as it chips their Steel-type checks such as Skarmory and Forretress while not damaging themselves. On top of that, Mamoswine can provide utility for its team with Stealth Rock if it's required. Gyarados grants hail teams a check to Keldeo and Excadrill, which both outspeed andOHKO Abomasnow once its Focus Sash is broken, as well as providing an offensive check to Volcarona, which can threaten to sweep with Quiver Dance against Abomasnow. Starmie provides Rapid Spin support, which is required for Abomasnow to keep its Focus Sash intact and to let it switch in and out throughout the game. In return, Starmie appreciates the hail chipping down Ferrothorn or denying its Leftovers recovery. Starmie also appreciates Abomasnow removing rain, letting it more easily run Hidden Power Fire over Ice Beam to further chip down Steel-types, further enabling Dragon-type teammates. Jirachi or Scizor can be used alongside Abomasnow as a switch-in for Dragon-type moves that would threaten Abomasnow and can provide pivoting with U-turn.

Blizzard is Abomasnow primary stab option which combined with Hail makes for a very spammable base 120 power move with 100 percent accuracy which hits slower walls such as Skarmory and Ferrothorn for heavy damage as well as threatening a 2HKO 2 hit KO on Reuniclus switching in. Combining this with its second stab option Wood Hammer and Abomasnow becomes increadibly hard to switch into. Wood Hammer threatens the plethora of bulky waters that would want to come in on Blizzard such as Politoed, Rotom-W and Jellicent as well as hits Tyranitar switching in trying to reset the weather. Focus Punch is an option that can be used to threaten heavy damage on Clefable,Tyranitar and Heatran switching in as well as Ferrothorn switching in outside of Hail. Earthquake can be used as a suprise option to threaten heavy damage on Heatran which otherwise would check Abomasnow as well as hit Tyranitar and Tentacruel hard without taking the recoil damage as opossed to Wood Hammer. Hidden Power Fire is used to threaten KO's on Forretress and Scizor which can resist both of Abomasnow's stab options as well as deal heavy damage to Ferrothorn and Magnezone carrying an Air Balloon. Ice Shard is used for priority move to pick off weakened Pokemon such as Latios, Garchomp, Dragonite and Salamence as well as breaking Alakazams Focus Sash.

Set Details

212 speed investment allows Abomasnow you to outspeed Rotom-W. Maximum Special Attack allows Abomasnow's main STAB attack, Blizzard, to hit as hard as possible. The rest is put into Attack to give Abomasnow's coverage moves and priority as much power as possible. Max Special attack for hard hitting Blizzards. Stats are proper nouns so capitalized. Alternatively, Abomasnow can run maximum Speed in order to outrun Modest Magnezone with Hidden Power Fire as well as guarantee at least a speed tie versus other neutral natured Abomasnow. Alternativley you can also go max speed to get the jump on Magnezone and Scizor trying to set up on you.

Mixed Abomasnow's best archetype is Hyper offence as it hits very hard and is immediately threatening in the early game, which sets the pace well for aggressive teams doesn't intead to stick around for too long. I reworded it, as I don't think ho needs to suicide lead abomasnow like say an Aero. Dragon type partners such as Dragonite, Latios, Garchomp and Salamence all apprecitate the Hail chipping their there Steel-type (add hyphon) checks such as Ferrothorn, Skarmory and Bronzong. While not a terrible example, there are many more relevant Steel-types to use as examples. In return, Abomasnow has priority Ice Shard to revenge kill oppossing Choice Scarf Dragons. Ice type threats such as Mamoswine and Kyurem-Black also appreciate Abomasnow's hail as it chips their Steel type checks while also not damaging them. Provide examples; I think Skarmory is a prominent example for Mamoswine. Does any other Ice-type particularly need Hail? On top of that Mamoswine can provide utility for the Hail team with Stealth Rock if it's required. Gyarados is also a nice option as it allows the Hail team a check to Keldeo and Excadrill which both outspeed and kill Abomasnow once the Focus Sash is broken, as well as providing an offensive check to Volcarona who can threaten to sweep with Quiver Dance against Abomasnow. Starmie provides Rapid Spin which is required for Abomasnow to keep its Focus Sash intact as well as switch in and out throughout the game.In return, Starmie appreciates the Hail chipping down Ferrothorn or denying its Leftovers. Jirachi and Scizor can be used alongside Abomasnow as a Steel type to switch into Dragon type moves that would threaten Abomasnow as well as provide a pivot with U-Turn.
