Building a Dual Weather Team: Sand & Snow VGC Strategy

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

royalstream-47 OP

Which Mamoswine set do you recommend? I already have an idea for Ninetails

royalstream-47 OP

Seeing as Tytar is slow and Excadrill will have a sash, I'm thinking maybe Mamoswine with a Choice Scarf?

@royalstream-47 Seeing as Tytar is slow and Excadrill will have a sash, I'm thinking maybe Mamoswine with a Choice…

Isn't mamoswine already like

snowypanther-64

Super slow as hell

snowypanther-64

Would he not just get outsped by like

snowypanther-64

Unburden sneasler

@snowypanther-64 Super slow as hell

Actually, I don't think so. If you are Jolly achieves almost the same as Basculegion

royalstream-47 OP

In fact it is a bad Pokémon for trickrom x d

Its even faster than Bascu

royalstream-47 OP

In fact, I think it would be better to use a Choice Scarf Avalanche and Mamoswine to threaten Zard+Aero and bring abosmanow auroraveil

royalstream-47 OP

It won the weather war by being the slowest mega and i set the veil

royalstream-47 OP

And if they do mega, they'll get an avalanche of mamoswine

royalstream-47 OP

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

fleetsilver-84

royalstream-47 OP

Abomasnow can tank an earthquake with the buff from the snow, plus it's a Grass type and resists it

royalstream-47 OP

Or I could simply use protect in abomasnow

royalstream-47 OP

I'll probably equip it with Wood Hammer, Blizzard Protect, and Aurora Veil.

royalstream-47 OP

You could also add a Rotom refrigerator to use Will or Wisp and take advantage of its levitation

royalstream-47 OP

I really might use a Rotom refrigerator now that I think about it
