Checks & Counters
########

• Fire- and Fighting-types that rule the tier
• Steel-types, especially Mega Aggron
• Florges and Umbreon

Now that that's out of the way, here are some suggestions:

Mention in Team Options that Abomasnow appreciates teammates that can deal with Fire-types effectively, such as Slowking, Jellicent, and Lanturn. Also Trick Room Reuniclus, as Abomasnow performs well in Trick Room due to its low Speed

Mention Hydreigon because it is one of the safest switchins to Mega-Houndoom, one of the biggest threats to Mega-Abomasnow and it's team members.

Added in Hydreigon. Are there anymore sets or moves that I should add? Abomasnow has a pretty decent movepool.

I'd think a good mention somewhere is that pre-mega Abomasnow should have Soundproof > Snow Warning, as hail isn't always beneficial to your team (unless like your entire team needs it lol). It turns to Snow Warning when it mega evolves.

I agree. It also allows you to switch into stuff like Galvantula's Bug Buzz, Vivillon's Bug Buzz, and Exploud's Boomburst.

Implemented the Soundproof changes, makes a lot of sense, thanks guys!
I also added in Team Options that Abomasnow needs Defog/Rapid Spin support since it is weak to hazards; I also said that good partners are Mew and Starmie, but are there any Defoggers/Rapid Spinners that synergize particularly well with Abomasnow? I have used Tentacruel before, and it works ok.

Blastoise and Starmie can take on Fire-types and Steel-types while Abomasnow covers Grass- and Electric-types in return

Blastoise is awful if you're not using it as a mega evolution, listing Tentacruel would be a lot better because it also takes fighting and poison moves and it sets up toxic spikes to help wear down the opponent(toxic damage+hail damage).

Mixed Destroyer
########
name: Mixed Destroyer
move 1: Ice Shard
move 2: Blizzard
move 3: Wood Hammer / Giga Drain
move 4: Earthquake
ability: Soundproof ----> Snow Warning
item: Abomasite
evs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 SpA
nature: Brave/Quiet

Small nitpick, move the 4HP evs to spdef

Small nitpick, move the 4HP evs to spdef

Done. Also I added Tentacruel to team options.

 

[Martin]

• The ability shouldn't have -----> Snow Warning on it.
• Put a space between the natures on the first set:

Brave/Quiet

when it should be

Brave / Quiet

• Also, Abomasnow's ability to disrupt before mega evolving us enough reason to slash in Snow Warning alongside Soundproof, but definitely agree with it being slashed after Soundproof.
• Add a Choice Scarf set:

Choice Scarf
########
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Blizzard
move 2: Giga Drain
move 3: Earthquake
move 4: Hidden Power Fire
ability: Snow Warning
item: Choice Scarf
evs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
nature: Timid / Modest

I'm not sure if Timid lets you outpace anything notable, but better safe than sorry cause I can't be bothered to check XD

 

[Kangaaroo]

Change any mention of "his" to "its", as Abomasnow can be both genders.

 

[Kushalos]

Be a bit more specific on the fire and fighting types in the C&C section, if implemented QC 1/3
