Building a Snow Team: Glaceon VGC Strategy & Discussion
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is diving into competitive snow team theory-crafting. This discussion explores potential team compositions featuring Glaceon, Mega Abomasnow, and various speed control options like Tailwind. Members are actively debating item choices, move sets, and defensive synergies to optimize these niche playstyles for upcoming VGC events.
Just gonna toy around with making a snow team for any events coming up, branch out learn diff playstyles since i can only really play rain or hard tr
I wanna use Glaceon probably(?) At least try to so the first idea i had was:
Mega Froslass
Mega Aboma
Glaceon (Lorb with ice body)
Duskanroc
Indeedee-F
Clawlitzer
what do we think
As a rough draft
I feel like i need tailwind for glaceon?
Or i just go fuck it
Maybe drop mega lass for sum

Somethibg like this idk
I think it needs tailwind 😭
Or some form of speed control not called trickroom
i tried a mega froslass team
it worked
but felt weird
She seems too volatile, shes amazing when she has good matchups
cus hes frail
But you can really feel it in her weak matchups
i didn’t have max spa or max speed
Most dony
i had some bulk and aurora veil
i dont think ive ever used glaceon with tailwind
and ive used glaceon alot
Maybe mega raptor
even had a team with all eeveeloutions
Umbreon bae
i tried that too but his biggest wekness is being weak to fairy and psychic
i like him
my favorite
playing
i had him for my perish team
Hm
with yawn foul play copy cat protect
Skill swap >>
no i had snarl instead of copycat
ig u can
leftovers is a must
hes so tanky
life orb glaceon??
He
omg
what
geez
Idk
hes strong enough to
Im just throwing ideas seeing what sticks
Since im omw to movies rn 😭😭
a defensive item
Cba thinking
u can do whatever and then make a team when u have time
Ye
i give glaceon protect icy wind freeze dry
i forgot my fourth move
i had charm once with mega staraptor
Chilling?
Yea thats what i was looking at mega raptor
chilling neigh?
Water
Lmao
For like incin or sum ih
he gets haze
eh
he probably dies to flare blotz anyway
Is this the team ?
so u handle incin with something else
not rn
the team is the first image at the top
Nah
Im throwing ideas out before movie starts
i think yawn is best
generally
With snow??
he doesn’t need ice beam since he does so much with freezed dry
No chance surely
i mean his stats r good
glaceons bulk
and he gets snow cloak
32+ Atk Incineroar Flare Blitz vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Glaceon in Snow: 128-152 (91.4 - 108.5%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
You run a bit of bulk
yeah he tanks
cus u dont invest in speed
0 SpA Glaceon Chilling Water vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Incineroar: 54-64 (31.7 - 37.6%) -- 86.8% chance to 3HKO
Not bad damage
u run max spa
Ye
Itd go to 46% min
Or sum
he gets weather ball
32+ SpA Glaceon Chilling Water vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Incineroar: 70-84 (41.1 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Eh
u could run that as water coverage + stronger ice move
Head calc is off
thats y u run weather ball
oneshot with helping hand
and sun to oneshot mega golisopod
~~i wanna run snow tho 🥀~~
Idk ill work shop it
Coz i was thinking big blizzard spam brrrr
lol
i like alolan ninetails
Teams weak to steel then no?
but i find myself giving it choice scarf so it actually moves before being oneshot by steel
High key...

Personal pref
ground is such a good offensive type

Probably over claw?
Also rq, what glaceon set do you run?
Freeze dry something something protect
im sry but i cant hold a straight face in front of abomosnow
and icy wind
detect over protect
Lmao
Whats the diff?
lesst pokemon get it

Imprison
