0460 Abomasnow

The rebalance to Abomasnow following the July 2020 introduction of Season 3 in Go Battle League gave the snowman much needed tools to its moveset. Powder Snow is now recommended for its fast energy generation. Razor Leaf features incredible damage output with STAB, but is held back by the worst energy gains in PvP. Leafage is a decent move, having relatively balanced damage and energy, and can be a viable choice, but Abomasnow often prefers to focus on its Ice-type damage due to it being a superior offensive type.

The addition of Weather Ball (Ice) is a significant improvement, costing low amounts of energy for very respectable DPE (Damage Per Energy) efficiency, and can be spammed very frequently. Energy Ball is recommended with Powder Snow movesets for additional STAB coverage. Outrage costs a lot of energy and is generally not recommended, but can be useful with Razor Leaf movesets. 

Abomasnow's unique Grass/Ice typing makes it a wonderful, yet risky, corebreaker. 7 weaknesses is nothing to shrug off, with Fire being a particularly hazardous one. However, very few Pokemon can claim the honor of being a Grass-type that can destroy Flying-types, or being an Ice-type that can break apart Water-types. It is also a Grass-type Pokemon that destroys most other Grasses. With a wonderfully spammy Weather Ball by its side, Abomasnow deals relentless, consistent damage.

The level 50 update improves Abomasnow's performance in Ultra League significantly, as it directly benefits from access to additional stats needed to reach the CP cap of Ultra League. With access to a very fast moveset that can be spammed easily, Abomasnow's coverage is quite valuable in a meta that sees frequent usage of Dragon and Water-types. It should also be noted that Abomasnow's fast access to STAB Weather Ball gives it significant advantages against any other Grass-types that do exist in Ultra League. 

Things start to really heat up in the Master League, and this snowman doesn't like the heat.
