Moveset | ・
Quiver Dance
・ Ice Beam ・ Bug Buzz ・ Air Slash |
These values are from base stats and ideal EVs, excluding external factors.
Giga Drain | A Grass-type move option. Not only does this move expand your coverage but it also lets Frosmoth stay in battle longer as this move recovers HP. |
---|---|
Mirror Coat | You can use this to counter Special moves, but it doesn't work well with Quiver Dance. |
Blizzard | An Ice-type move option. While it has low accuracy, it has high power. You can also use it as Max Hailstorm to avoid the low accuracy problem. |
Nature | Modest (+SpAtk, -Atk) |

EV Spread | HP 228 / Sp.Atk. 252 / Spd. 28 |

Ability | Ice Scales |
Held Item | Assault Vest |
Moveset | ・
Ice Beam
・ Bug Buzz ・ Air Slash ・ Giga Drain |
These values are from base stats and ideal EVs, excluding external factors.
Blizzard | A strong Ice-type move option. You can avoid the low accuracy problem by using it as Max Hailstorm. |
---|---|
Weather Ball | Another move option. Beware of weather changes by Dynamax Pokemon and avoid using Weather Ball when there's hail. |
Hurricane | A Flying-type move option that works well with Max Geyser. Note that it has low accuracy when it's not raining. |
Dazzling Gleam | A Fairy-type move option that targets Pokemon that take advantage of Frosmoth's typing. Mainly used for the Misty Terrain caused by Max Starfall that protects Frosmoth from status conditions. |
Frosmoth's Ability, Ice Scales, cuts the opponent's Special Attack damage in half. Even while the rest of its stats are low, you can hit with a powerful Special Attack. Overcome its low stats with Quiver Dance, which raises its Sp. Atk, Sp. Def, and Speed stats, and overwhelm your opponents.
Frosmoth's hidden ability, Ice Scales, protects it from special attack damage, but it has virtually no protection from physical attacks. Due to this, it is best to bring Pokemon who can survive strong physical attacks along with Frosmoth.

・High physical defense ・Resists Frosmoth's weaknesses Hippowdon - Moveset & Best Build for Ranked Battle |
Frosmoth can easily brush off Special Attacks thanks to Ice Scale. However, its low defense and HP, paired with it's bevy of weaknesses leave it vulnerable to strong Phyiscal Attackers.
Since Frosmoth is also 4x weak to Rock-type and Fire-type moves, try to use these types of moves against it.
