Pokédex Data:
It freezes foes with an
icy breath nearly -60 degrees F. What seems to be its body is
actually hollow.
Forslass is definitely more used than Glalie, but it still has
bad stats. Its speed is good and its type combination is
definitely great but the rest of the stats are really bad. You
have to protect Froslass if you want to keep it enough to deal
some damage with it.
The
movesets for today are…
Destiny bond.
Froslass@Salac
berry.
Nature: Timid (+ Speed, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Ice beam
- Shadow ball
- Endure / Thunderwave / Thunderbolt
- Destiny bond
Sweep with your first two moves, then I like using endure, let
salac berry activate and use destiny bond. Be careful not to
reveal your strategy before time. Timing is everything.
Physical sweeper.
Froslass@Scope
lens / Lum berry.
Nature: Adamant (+ Attack, - Special attack).
EV’s: 252 Attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Ice shard
-
Return / Substitute
- Crunch
- Thunderwave / Confuse ray / Taunt
Not
very effective, but definitely not a very predictable set.
Special sweeper.
Froslass@Scope
lens / Lum berry.
Nature: Modest (+ Special attack, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 Special attack / 252 Speed / 6 HP.
- Ice beam
-
Shadow ball
- Psychic / Thunderbolt/ Substitute
- Thunderwave / Confuse ray / Taunt /Attract
I like this set a lot more than the physical sweeper. It is also
kind of defensive thanks to substitute and / or thunderwave.
Annoyer.
Froslass@Leftovers.
Nature: Timid (+ Speed, - Attack).
EV’s: 252 HP / 129 Defense / 129 Special defense.
- Ice beam / Shadow ball
-
Taunt / Torment / Shadow ball
- Substitute / Spikes
- Thunderwave / Confuse ray
This set even has a chance in competitive battles. It has enough
speed to be a great annoyer. Just remember to be patient, as
with all annoyers. Most new trainers fail using this kind of
strategies because of their lack of patience.
Pros.
As I
said before, Froslass has a very good speed and it can take
advantage of it thanks to choice scarf. The ability is good for
theme based teams and its type combination is just great. I like
ghosts.
Counters.
Strong
dark type moves as crunch or a well timed pursuit will be a
major problem. Fire types are also dangerous (most of the time
aren’t they?). Be careful of Charizard, Houndoom and Heatran.
Bottom line.
Olympic times are reaching their final
stage. We’ll have to wait another 4 years to experience this big
party =) See you in
London…
Rating:
2.9/5
Hope
you enjoyed.
