Okay, Abomasnow is weird. That's a fact. But it's a funny kind of weird, especially because it looks like a cross between an evergreen tree (a type of tree that always has green leaves no matter the season) covered with snow and the Abominable Snowman. In fact, Abomasnow is an abbreviation of that term, which is actually a popular term that is commonly used for the yeti. So, Abomasnow is based on the mythical monster known as the yeti. Given the size of its feet it is probably based on Bigfoot, too, hahaha. Okay, lame joke. Seriously, I like Pokémon that are based on mythical creatures and the resemblance with the Abominable Snowman is more than obvious when you look at it. In the video games Abomasnow doesn't exactly live up to expectations. It has SEVEN FLIPPIN' WEAKNESSES, including a BIG-TIME ONE TO FIRE due to it being grass/ice-type! And because it's quite slow, Abomasnow will hit second very often, which increases the chances of being hit by a super effective attack even more. Thankfully it has some reasonable defenses to back that up, which makes it capable of taking a hit or two (except from fire-type moves). It also has a diverse movepool, with access to great moves like Rock Slide, Brick Break, Shadow Ball, Ice Punch, Wood Hammer and Earthquake, although I doubt it will make up for its seven weaknesses. If you're careful, you can definitely make use of Abomasnow, but avoid it if that's too risky for you. Too bad Abomasnow has such an... abominable typing (sorry guys, I had to!), but otherwise it's a funny Pokémon and easily one of my favorites.
