In his ancient fossil AF videos (like Charizard) he skipped some generations like again Charizard where he skipped Gen 4 and Gen 5 because Charizard was in NU because of Stealth Rocks.
Honestly, if Gamefreak actually powered up ice moves during Hail, Abomasnow would have a actual niche. Just imagine a 180 power STAB Blizzard coming from a Specs Kyurem-W
ice should have more reists(dragon,and water atleast prolyl flying and/or fairy aswell). not be weak to rock(stealth rock is so bad for already terrible defensive type) and hail should aslo raise defense by 50% for icetypes,like sand does for rock,ground and steel types. (and maybe make ice body a thing for evry ice type in hail automaticly? )
Ice type needs to be buffed in the defense apartment. Adding resistance against water and normal would be nice. And boost the defense of ice pokemon under hail (counter boost special def of rock pokemon in sand).
That would be too OP. I think the correct move is either make Ice better defensively (like seriously, STEEL WEAKNESS??? ROCK?!) or somwhow make non-Ice pokemon (especially Mewtwo) receive Ice STAB (for example, via ability).

That's the problems with ice types. Why use them at all when water and fairy types do their job better? Honestly, I think the fairy needs an offensive nerf for ice types to have any real niche anymore.
I wonder why they gave water only 2 weaknesses, and I forgot how many fire has. (I can think of rock, water and ground if I remember.)

One of the most anti-meta pokemon out there, especially in weather wars. It has awkward typing and awkward weather but that rare combination has granted it unique role throughout the generations.
Smogon: "Landerous-T is used by everyone, that's cool though, we won't ban him or many other very common picks" Also Smogon: "We've gotta ban Scolipede and Abomasnow, hardly anyone uses them, but people having to plan for them would be too much effort, even though they aren't very good. Sure, they have to plan for Landerous-T and all the other pokemon that are common as all hell, but that doesn't matter, because just getting good is too hard, just ban it."
A coment before watching the video: Abomasnow is amazing, I manage to win a PC and reach top 8 at regionals in Lima Peru with it back in 2015 Funny story, once in trick room and by out predicting I managed to 1 v 1 a Mega Charizard Y with it. His power is overwhelming.
The poor snow boy got nerfed to the ground indirectly. Beside the weather abiliy nerf, they just putted in a better type for killing dragons weak to steel and other hail setters
This video almost makes me want to play VGC in Showdown to play Abomasnow, probably Vanilluxe would be better until Kyogre and Groudon comes back to the scene... but i never touched VGC so there's that. Neat to see that Abomasnow had a niche at least in VGC.
Reporting from Gen 9 in the Pladea Region and Abomasnow FINALLY ACTUALLY HAS AN ABILITY THAT MAJES SENSE AND IS ACCURATE IN IT'S NAME BECAUSE HAIL NO LONGER EXISTS AND SNOW IS IT'S NEW WEATHER CONDITION REPLACEMENT AND SO MUCH BETTER AND ICE TYPES HAVE GOTTEN SO MUCH BETTER BECAUSE OF IT! With a slight chance of scattered Space Time Vortexes and Paradox Pokémon. That is all. Now back to you in the False Swipe Studio!
Back in gen 6, I built a trick room team with abomasnow as my core. I called him the landorus killer. I made it really high in the rankings. Sadly I never got to use it in actual competition but trust me, I'm confident that I would've made it far.
Thanks to your videos I've been learning more about Competitive Pokémon Battles and what moves and held items are recommended(while I'm sitting here in my room thinking of battle strategies)
I like watching your videos because im learning different strategies to Pokemon I never would have thought to use myself and now when I do use these I can completely catch my friends off guard. Thanks for these videos
Abomasnow has stats that are everything you dont want in an ice type with so many weaknesses. It's slow and bulky. Yet it just works so surprising well. We need more ice types like this
@@roy43222 it just needs more resistances, it's a great type offensively and it's weaknesses aren't too numerous, just needs a few resistances to confiscate for it's weaknesses and ice types should be good to go~
@@bryanc1772 the problem isn't the stats, but the typing that go's with them..... Tyranitar's Got many resistances and an immunity which puts it's bulk to use, meanwhile the Ice typing is absolutely glass cannon and the Grass typing doesn't help much either, so trying to make a bulky mon out of it is a _really_ bad idea... ...but Abomasnow somehow makes it work~
In my opinion, Obamasnow should have a higher base stat, because without having at least 100+ in something, you really can't justify this terrible typing (mega doesn't count because it counts as a wasted mega slot and isn't even available in sword/shield)
Imagine if the ability 'slush rush' had existed in gen 5, to match up with sand rush, swift swim and chlorophyll. I wonder if that may have helped at all
Abomasnow is pretty good in Showdown. I always use one in my teams to get rid of Swamperts and basically every water type except volcanion using Wood Hammer.
So, for my Pokemon fan game, the Grass/Ice Pokemon is not a Hail setter, but a weird Special Attacker with some Special Defense. It's stats are 80 HP, 90 Physical Attack, 40 Physical Defense, 120 Special Attack, 110 Special Defense, and 100 Speed, meaning that Physical attacks will knock it out easily, even if it is resisted. Speaking of resistances, Ice gained 2 new resistances, those being Water and Electric, meaning that it can switch in on special Water, Electric, and Ice moves, since it quad resists those moves. It even gets access to Electric moves of 15 PP or higher, meaning BoltBeam coverage. And since only Ice Types get access to Ice Beam, and to get Thunderbolt, you either needed to be an Electric type yourself, or be Flying/Bug, Flying/Ice, Flying/Grass, Bug/Ice, Bug/Grass, or this Pokemon, very few were going to have that coverage. Literally, the only ones with BoltBeam coverage are Electric/Ice, Flying/Ice, Bug/Ice, or Grass/Ice, and each one has a different niche. This one had the the highest special attack, and isn't 4x weak to stealth rock. All in all, not a bad choice.
Beside that cursed cat after the first Arena of G4, This is one of the most memorable pokemon of the 4th gen. With Empoleon, getting early to the 7th arena with this monster at the end was truly not a beautiful sight. It's even more satisfying to see a Ice pokemon, with a pretty neat design, and only 1 evolution, to had some form of relevancy.
I like the snow in Winter times, but we've been getting more rain and sun than snow. It's like a real life weather war here. And it is a shame that hail is rather unfavorable when it comes to setting weather.
It’d be interesting to see a series where the team comp and strategies of big profile tournaments are touched upon like what you almost started when you talked about Iron Ball Trick Room Mewtwo
Weeell, you covered Crawdaunt recently, mega-Gyarados has been covered looong ago, sooo we're missing 2 certain Water/Dark mons, and since I don't think Gren is coming anytime soon...... IT'S SHARK TIME! HOW GOOD WAS SHARPEEDO ACTUALLY?
mega-abomasnow would be a normal evolution to be a pseudo-legend, and carry a item (specs, sash, expert belt, occa berry, icy rock...) give +6 base stats and trick room to set itself abomasnowman (new mega-abomasnow to a regular mon) 100 / 132 / 105 / 132 / 105 / 26 BST: 600
@@snazzy_nugget2870 Woah woah! Slow down there buddy. We don't want to create a monster. (Even though that is the idea behind the Pokemon). We just want to make a upgraded version of an old Pokemon.
I think Abomasnow just need really buffed stats more notability it Special Attack and Speed. Ice/Grass may seem the worst defensively but if you think about it Abomasnow does a great job at checking Electrics, Waters, Grass, and Grounds and certain Dragons. A lot of Electrics and Waters can't get around it without HP fire. Ice/Grass is decent offensively but it has Earthquake and HP fire for all the Fire and Steels that give it trouble
So for its weaknesses. Flying is covered by Ice stab. Rock is covered by Grass stab. Fire, Poison and Steel are covered by Earthquake. That leaves Fighting and Bug without a coverage to deal with them.
Emperor George Theres HP Fire for Bug like Scizor and Heracross( not taking blizzards anyways) its not doing nothing to Volcarona anyways but yea niether to fighting types which it shouldn't stay in in the first place
They really need to buff Hail, give Ice more resistance like Ground and Flying which are very popular. I most importantly give Abomasnow 10 points on its Special Attack to make 102 so it can hit harder with Blizzard
Do how good was gastrodon actually, he's my favorite gen 4 Pokemon and I barely ever see him get any love so seeing you do a video in him would be really nice
Whoops! It says "Gen 4-8" at 0:29. It should say 4-7 like the title.

He's literally saying 'Obamasnow' 75% of the time.
These videos are just about the only thing that get me through the sunday blues, thanks false swipe 👍
Dude i almost thought that you got "for kid" a fied.
Also alot of peeps were requesting haxorus i wonder if youll be doing him.
“For a kid a fied” ?
the coppa thing so that you can't comment and thungs likenthat
And you're pretty much unsearchable
Might wanna wait and see if Haxorus will make a splash in SwSh OU
Am I having a stroke
Thanks to your videos I've been learning more about Competitive Pokémon Battles and what moves and held items are recommended(while I'm sitting here in my room thinking of battle strategies)
The word "stead" rhymes with "head". "In its stead" is literally just a longer version of "instead"
Jeremy Fornier-Hanlon well ‘sead’
Hahaha so random.
I like watching your videos because im learning different strategies to Pokemon I never would have thought to use myself and now when I do use these I can completely catch my friends off guard. Thanks for these videos
Abomasnow turned into Abomaslow in these latest generations.
Did you notice its mega form gets even lower speed? As if it accepts how slow it is lul
Right off the bat, I see you pull up a video of someone who named it Obamasnow. Fantastic!
Abomasnow has stats that are everything you dont want in an ice type with so many weaknesses. It's slow and bulky. Yet it just works so surprising well. We need more ice types like this
So true and a type that can reduce weakness probably idk
@@roy43222 it just needs more resistances, it's a great type offensively and it's weaknesses aren't too numerous, just needs a few resistances to confiscate for it's weaknesses and ice types should be good to go~
@@ExcalibeonSwordofEeveelutions true
Tyranitar is also slow and bulky yet it works well too
@@bryanc1772 the problem isn't the stats, but the typing that go's with them.....
Tyranitar's Got many resistances and an immunity which puts it's bulk to use, meanwhile the Ice typing is absolutely glass cannon and the Grass typing doesn't help much either, so trying to make a bulky mon out of it is a _really_ bad idea...
...but Abomasnow somehow makes it work~
Pokepresidential debate: Obamasnow vs. Donald Gumshoos
In my opinion, Obamasnow should have a higher base stat, because without having at least 100+ in something, you really can't justify this terrible typing (mega doesn't count because it counts as a wasted mega slot and isn't even available in sword/shield)
I think Abomasnow has my favorite design for a mega evo, its body doesn't even change that much, it just puffs up like an angry cat
"choice specs gyarados"
Ouch my head
Not as bad as it sounds. It has incredible special coverage and specs sorta counteracts the low special attack. Its still VERY niche though
@@IschmarVI nice

Damn I thought you'd switch
14:47 Sejun Park used a Magmar and won. He never failed to amaze us
how good was gigalith actually I am not giving up !
@Ice By golem actually, until he got the sand.
Abomasnow, the favourite Pokemon of Pokemon damage calculators worldwide
Its such a shame his Mega is only "okay" cause it looks so cool, definitely my favourite mega along with Lucario
The Sinnoh megas are the best looking in my opinion (except Mega Garchomp it looks kinda weird)
You forgot to show us Mega Abomasnow stats, but great video overall
I liked that you started with Mah Dry Bread’s Obamasnow evolving
Imagine if the ability 'slush rush' had existed in gen 5, to match up with sand rush, swift swim and chlorophyll. I wonder if that may have helped at all
If that Pokemon was actually a good one, with stats and movepool on par with the OU titans, it would.
Wow, an Abomasnow video with no Obama jokes? I'm impressed.
Abomasnow is pretty good in Showdown. I always use one in my teams to get rid of Swamperts and basically every water type except volcanion using Wood Hammer.
Barrack abomasnow... i always make a joke about that
Please do the Iconic Queen Spinda next!
YES OMG
I am curious if any had the guts to make a support spinda
What he says: Abomasnow
What i hear: O B A M A S N O W
Thanks Aboma
So, for my Pokemon fan game, the Grass/Ice Pokemon is not a Hail setter, but a weird Special Attacker with some Special Defense. It's stats are 80 HP, 90 Physical Attack, 40 Physical Defense, 120 Special Attack, 110 Special Defense, and 100 Speed, meaning that Physical attacks will knock it out easily, even if it is resisted. Speaking of resistances, Ice gained 2 new resistances, those being Water and Electric, meaning that it can switch in on special Water, Electric, and Ice moves, since it quad resists those moves. It even gets access to Electric moves of 15 PP or higher, meaning BoltBeam coverage. And since only Ice Types get access to Ice Beam, and to get Thunderbolt, you either needed to be an Electric type yourself, or be Flying/Bug, Flying/Ice, Flying/Grass, Bug/Ice, Bug/Grass, or this Pokemon, very few were going to have that coverage. Literally, the only ones with BoltBeam coverage are Electric/Ice, Flying/Ice, Bug/Ice, or Grass/Ice, and each one has a different niche. This one had the the highest special attack, and isn't 4x weak to stealth rock. All in all, not a bad choice.
The best thing about abomasnow is how people pronounce it OBAMAsnow lmao
Beside that cursed cat after the first Arena of G4, This is one of the most memorable pokemon of the 4th gen. With Empoleon, getting early to the 7th arena with this monster at the end was truly not a beautiful sight. It's even more satisfying to see a Ice pokemon, with a pretty neat design, and only 1 evolution, to had some form of relevancy.
But how good was shiftry, I won’t stop asking
Abomasnow's gen 4 sprite: "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed."
If I may, may we see how good was Vanilluxe actually? Please?
President Abomasnow
I like the snow in Winter times, but we've been getting more rain and sun than snow.
It's like a real life weather war here. And it is a shame that hail is rather unfavorable when it comes to setting weather.
It’d be interesting to see a series where the team comp and strategies of big profile tournaments are touched upon like what you almost started when you talked about Iron Ball Trick Room Mewtwo
Weeell, you covered Crawdaunt recently, mega-Gyarados has been covered looong ago, sooo we're missing 2 certain Water/Dark mons, and since I don't think Gren is coming anytime soon...... IT'S SHARK TIME! HOW GOOD WAS SHARPEEDO ACTUALLY?
must’ve been hard not saying obamasnow
mega-abomasnow would be a normal evolution
to be a pseudo-legend, and carry a item (specs, sash, expert belt, occa berry, icy rock...)
give +6 base stats and trick room to set itself

Slow down there buddy.
We don't want to create a monster.
(Even though that is the idea behind the Pokemon).
We just want to make a upgraded version of an old Pokemon.

_Thanks Aboma.......-snow_
Unovan form: Obamasnow Ice/Dark type
Thank you sooooo much!!! Luv the vids bro keep it up
When you are the literal embodiment of a christmas tree, of course you’re getting a mega...
Thanks, Obamasnow
I think Abomasnow just need really buffed stats more notability it Special Attack and Speed.
Ice/Grass may seem the worst defensively but if you think about it Abomasnow does a great job at checking Electrics, Waters, Grass, and Grounds and certain Dragons. A lot of Electrics and Waters can't get around it without HP fire.
Ice/Grass is decent offensively but it has Earthquake and HP fire for all the Fire and Steels that give it trouble
So for its weaknesses.
Flying is covered by Ice stab.
Rock is covered by Grass stab.
Fire, Poison and Steel are covered by Earthquake.
That leaves Fighting and Bug without a coverage to deal with them.
Emperor George Theres HP Fire for Bug like Scizor and Heracross( not taking blizzards anyways)
its not doing nothing to Volcarona anyways but yea niether to fighting types which it shouldn't stay in in the first place
Been wondering about Obama’s last name for ages. Thanks FSG.
They really need to buff Hail, give Ice more resistance like Ground and Flying which are very popular. I most importantly give Abomasnow 10 points on its Special Attack to make 102 so it can hit harder with Blizzard
I’ve wanted this one for so long! My first Pokémon I ever shiny hunted. Love him.
I am honestly surprised how good he is while being weak 4x to fire 🔥
DJ Agave Can't we say the same thing for Scizor and Ferrothorn?
Do how good was gastrodon actually, he's my favorite gen 4 Pokemon and I barely ever see him get any love so seeing you do a video in him would be really nice
