Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is exploring innovative dual-weather strategies. This discussion focuses on integrating Mega Tyranitar and Excadrill with a Snow core featuring Abomasnow and Mamoswine to counter popular meta threats. Members analyze optimal move sets, including Aurora Veil and Choice Scarf utility, to gain a competitive edge in VGC battles.
I'm planning to make a team where the core is Mega Tyranitar, Excadrill, and two Snow Pokémon, and see what Weather Ball users I can find, plus two possible supports.
Alolan Ninetales and Mamoswine for snow
Which Mamoswine set do you recommend? I already have an idea for Ninetails
Seeing as Tytar is slow and Excadrill will have a sash, I'm thinking maybe Mamoswine with a Choice Scarf?
That could work
Isn't mamoswine already like
Super slow as hell
Would he not just get outsped by like
Unburden sneasler
Actually, I don't think so. If you are Jolly achieves almost the same as Basculegion
In fact it is a bad Pokémon for trickrom x d
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Its even faster than Bascu
In fact, I think it would be better to use a Choice Scarf Avalanche and Mamoswine to threaten Zard+Aero and bring abosmanow auroraveil
It won the weather war by being the slowest mega and i set the veil
And if they do mega, they'll get an avalanche of mamoswine

Mamoswine and Abomasnow both provide a physical boost, so Aerodactyl doesn't threaten me with a super-effective avalanche

Wouldn’t you wanna use HH over EQ?
Or do you have a ground immune Mon ur gonna put next to it?
Abomasnow can tank an earthquake with the buff from the snow, plus it's a Grass type and resists it
Or I could simply use protect in abomasnow
I'll probably equip it with Wood Hammer, Blizzard Protect, and Aurora Veil.
You could also add a Rotom refrigerator to use Will or Wisp and take advantage of its levitation
I really might use a Rotom refrigerator now that I think about it
