Mega Abomasnow is a threat to be reckoned with in RU due to the excellent coverage its STAB moves provide, notably being able to hit very prominent walls such as Milotic, Mandibuzz, and Gligar for super effective damage. In spite of its extremely mediocre Speed, its access to strong priority in Ice Shard helps mitigate this issue, hitting faster threats like Zygarde-10%, Swellow, and Virizion. Focus Blast nails Bronzong and Registeel and also hits other walls such as Umbreon and Snorlax, while Earthquake targets Fire-types like Entei and Salazzle, albeit hitting Steel-types for less damage. Mega Abomasnow's Grass typing and key Ice neutrality allow it to switch into Pokemon like Zygarde-10% and Milotic, especially if running Giga Drain, with ease. However, its typing, coupled with its laughable Speed, makes Abomasnow vulnerable to notable offensive threats like Entei, Escavalier, Salazzle, and Golisopod. Despite these issues, it is an excellent wallbreaker that all balance teams should prepare for.
