PU Abomasnow

[OVERVIEW]
Abomasnow's offensive typing and raw strength grant it a unique place as a wallbreaker in PU. While it struggles to compete with other Ice-types like Frosmoth and Aurorus due to its lack of sweeping capabilities and natural speed, Abomasnow's coverage allows it to disrupt PU's defensive cores. Snow Warning is a huge asset in PU as well due to the prominence of Gigalith. However, Abomasnow is extremely prediction reliant and cannot hit very hard compared to more common wallbreakers like Choice Specs Galarian Articuno and Magneton. The number of opportunities it gets to predict is finite as well given its vulnerability to entry hazards.

Choice Scarf grants Abomasnow more opportunities to wallbreak and check foes like Galarian Articuno and Charizard that would otherwise outspeed it. Earth Power has good coverage alongside Abomasnow's STAB moves, letting it hit Steel-types such as Doublade and Togedemaru. Alternatively, Focus Blast leaves Abomasnow reliant on Blizzard to wear down Doublade but hits Audino harder. Rock Slide allows Abomasnow to OHKO Charizard and Frosmoth. Wood Hammer can be run with a Naive nature to 2HKO Gigalith after Stealth Rock, but be wary of recoil, especially given Abomasnow's Stealth Rock weakness. Gallade makes for a solid partner, as it can beat foes like Audino and Togedemaru that Abomasnow can struggle to get past due to their bulk and ability to scout. Other special attackers such as Jolteon and Ribombee appreciate Abomasnow's ability to wear down Gigalith. As Abomasnow is a Grass-type that provides very little defensive utility, Pokemon that can provide a secondary Water or Electric resistance like Wishiwashi and Sandslash are useful. Sandslash is also able to provide entry hazard removal.

[OVERVIEW]
Abomasnow's offensive typing and raw strength grant it a unique place as a breaker in PU. While it struggles to compete with other Ice-types like Frosmoth and Aurorus with sweeping capabilities and more speed respectively Abomasnow's coverage allows it to disrupt PU's defensive cores. Snow Warning is a huge asset to Abomasnow in PU as well due to the prominence of Gigalith. However, Abomasnow is reliant on Choice Scarf rather than Life Orb or Choice Specs for more raw power to be threatening since its speed tier and typing defensively hold it back. Abomasnow being unable to break Pokemon like Wishiwashi and Gigalith immediately can be rough too. I get what you're going for with this last sentence but I don't think it'll be obvious to the average reader. Should be more clearly written to point out it's 1 not the strongest and 2 very prediction reliant

Choice Scarf grants Abomasnow the ability to actually don't use the word actually like this in an analysis check foes like Articuno-Galar and Charizard it's not for checking them as much as outspeeding stuff and getting better opportunities to break, i don't love the phrasing of this overall. Focus Blast has great coverage for foes not covered by Abomasnow's STAB moves, most notably nailing foes like Audino and Magneton. Doublade already struggles to switch into Blizzard, but Earth Power works to hit it in addition to the other Steel-types in the tier still. swap sentences, if EP is first slash then it should be mentioned first Rock Slide allows Abomasnow to OHKO Charizard and Frosmoth. Wood Hammer can be ran with a Naive nature to 2HKO Gigalith with Stealth Rock but recoil+rocks weakness is a yikes vs giga drain's consistency. Gallade makes for a solid partner as it can beat foes like Audino and Togedemaru that Abomasnow can struggle to get past due to their bulk and ability to scout. Other special attackers such as Jolteon and Ribombee appreciate Abomasnow being able to wear down Gigalith. As a Grass-type that provide very little defensive utility, Pokemon like Wishiwashi and Sandslash to serve as a secondary Water-resist and Electric-immunity respectively are useful.

(i think abo's stealth rock weakness should be quickly mentioned here somewhere; it makes the issue of its reliance on prediction even worse, since it really has to pick its spots well to actually do anything.)
