Abomasnow, the evolution of the Snover family, is an Ice and Grass-type Pokémon that serves as a Tier-5 Raid Boss in Pokémon GO. Wielding 31,090 Combat Power, this Sinnoh Pokémon will require two to three high-level Trainers to be taken down. As an Ice and Grass pocket monster, Abomasnow is resistant to Ground, Water, Grass, and Electric Moves. On the other hand, this Raid Boss’s dual-type elemental attribute makes it highly vulnerable to Fire-type abilities in Pokémon GO. Therefore, to counter Abomasnow, Trainers will need to form a Raid party that can utilize this single element in Pokémon GO.
