Mega Abomasnow Raid Duo Guide

Mega Charizard Y is near the absolute apex of Mega Abomasnow counters, overall. While its DPS is slightly behind Mega Blaziken, it's still solo-worthy, and it has the advantage of additional TDO, making it the top choice in the game for the solo. 

The top DPS option in the game for this raid, Mega Blaziken absolutely brutalizes Mega Abomasnow with ease. Its TDO is a bit lower than Mega Charizard Y, but it's arguably the better option for competing for the DPS medal in the duo. But, regardless of the situation, Mega Blaziken is never a bad choice. In particular, it tends to pull ahead against Ice Type movesets.

You hit the wrong button. Go back and pick "Y".

Mega Charizard X is... okay. It's literally Mega Charizard Y but worse, so don't pick it unless you don't have a choice.

While definitely below the competition, Mega Houndoom still manages to stand as a solid budget Mega.

Primal Groudon is the weakest Mega Evolution option here.... on paper. Yes, it's definitely weaker than the competition, but its primary utility comes from sitting in the back of the team and granting its unique Primal Boost, increasing the power of its fellow Fire Types on the team by simply existing.

The Dragon of Truth has the raw, burning power needed to take this raid down pretty easily, as it's a great mix of DPS and TDO. However, it's slightly matchup-dependent. In this case, its performance isn't quite as great against Ice Type moves due to its Dragon sub-typing, but the same sub-typing also grants it a double-resistance to Grass Type moves.

It's hard to go wrong with Shadow Chandelure. Its TDO isn't quite the best on this list, but its DPS is stellar.

Heatran doesn't have the highest DPS for this raid by a decent margin, but it has monstrous TDO. Thanks in part to the fact that it double-resists everything that Mega Abomasnow can throw at it, Heatran can generally take down about a quarter of Mega Abomasnow's HP before it drops. Nothing can quite compare in this regard, making Heatran arguably the strongest duo option in the game.

While pretty glassy, Shadow Blaziken leads the non-Mega roster in terms of DPS for this raid.

One of the members of the old-guard of the top shadows, Shadow Moltres is still a remarkable Pokemon with a lot of sheer power behind its glorious, flaming wings.

Basically Shadow Moltres, but a bit worse.

A bit middle of the road compared to the above, but still great.

Don't have Sacred Fire+? No problem, Shadow Ho-oh is still great.

Please don't purify your Shadow Ho-oh!
