A new season titled Timeless Travel has begun in Pokémon GO. This Hisui-focused season begins with an Ice-, Steel-, and Dragon-focused December 2023. This month, we have the return of the Unova Dragons to Tier Five Raids, Steel- and Ice-type Megas, and special Raid Day events featuring Hisuian Pokémon.Today's raid guide for Pokémon GO players will help you assemble a team to take down Mega Abomasnow in Mega Raids. Let's get into it.
Top Mega Abomasnow Counters
Pokebattler, which calculates all possible combinations of Pokémon and moves, lists the top ten Mega Abomasnow counters as such:
- Mega Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Mega Charizard Y: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- ShadowChandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Shadow Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Shadow Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Reshiram: Fire Fang, Fusion Flare
- Apex Shadow Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire+
- Shadow Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Mega Charizard X: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Heatran: Fire Spin, Magma Storm
It is recommended to power up your counters as much as possible, but creating that amount of strong Shadow Pokémon with their moves unlocked is a tall order for even the most practiced players. Here are ten additional non-Shadow and non-Mega counters that can help take down Mega Abomasnow with efficiency.
- Volcarona: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Apex Purified Ho-Oh: Incinerate, Sacred Fire++
- Darmanitan: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Chandelure: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Entei: Fire Fang, Overheat
- Moltres: Fire Spin, Overheat
- Blaziken: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Delphox: Fire Spin, Blast Burn
- Emboar: Ember, Blast Burn
- Flareon: Fire Spin, Overheat
How Many Trainers Are Needed?
Mega Abomasnow can be defeated by solo trainers who bring Fire-types and patience to the battle. This is due to its double weakness as an Ice/Grass-type. If you cannot guarantee the top counters with maxed-out CP and the best moves, your best bet is to make sure you have two or more players. Using the Circle Lock Technique to guarantee Great or Excellent throws, along with Golden Razz Berries, is the best way to catch Pokémon. However, using a Pinap Berry successfully will earn you more Candy because Abomasnow is an evolved form.
Shiny Odds
The Shiny rate for Mega-capable Pokémon is approximately one in 60.
