PVP Mode Explanatory Notes

PvP Moveset Explanation
Ice Shard + Night Slash and Triple Axel or Water Pulse

Ice Shard gives both fair damage and solid energy gain, and is thus the fast move of choice. 

Triple Axel gives Cryogonal a self-buffing move with solid damage output to allow it to snowball pretty quickly, making it a bit of a must-have move for giving Cryogonal a niche. Night Slash gives Cryogonal an interesting niche, and some solid rapid fire Dark-type damage. Water Pulse isn't outstanding, but it gives Cryogonal counter-coverage against Fire and Rock Types, making it situationally worth considering.

PvP Rating Explanation
Great League: 1 / 5

Cryogonal matches up impressively poorly against the Great League metagame, even losing matchups you'd think it would win. It requires Aurora Beam to beat Altaria, and can barely even take down Tropius despite double super effective Ice Shard damage. If you're looking for an Ice-type, Glalie and Froslass probably do it better.

Ultra League: 2 / 5

The increased prevalence of Dragon-types in Ultra League help Cryogonal out a bit, but not much. It can consistently beat things like Dragonite and Flygon, and actually manages to take out Dialga in the 1-shield matchup. However, a poor matchup against both Giratina-Altered and Fighting-types leave this snowflake not feeling too special.

Master League: 0 / 5

It beats Groudon with shields up, which is...something? Rough losses to most of the common Master League Pokémon prevent Cryogonal from being a particularly useful or interesting pick. As such, it's probably better to look to another Ice-type, if you choose to run one.
