Mega Abomasnow is one of several Mega Pokémon that you can battle in Pokémon Go by participating in Mega Raids. These are among the most difficult raids in the game, so you’ll need to come prepared with a good team of counters that can target its weaknesses.
The majority of Mega Pokémon have now debuted in Pokémon Go, but Mega Abomasnow still holds its place as a top-tier ice-type attacker. If you defeat this powerful opponent in Mega Raids, you’ll earn Mega Energy, which can then be used to put your own Abomasnow through the Mega Evolution process.
You’ll get another chance to battle Mega Abomasnow and earn its Mega Energy when it returns to the raid schedule from Dec. 26, 2024, to Jan. 4, 2025. We’ve rounded up everything you need to know to beat it below, including the top counters for your team.
Just like its non-Mega counterpart, Mega Abomasnow has quite a lot of weaknesses that you can exploit: bug-, fighting-, fire-, flying-, poison-, rock-, and steel-type moves.
It’s best to focus on fire-type Pokémon with fire-type moves where possible, as these are super-effective and will deal even more damage to Mega Abomasnow than the rest.
On the flip side, Mega Abomasnow is resistant to electric-, grass-, ground-, and water-type moves. Avoid using these, as they won’t be very effective in battle.
