PLACE IN THE META: Abomasnow will most likely be rather disappointing in Pokémon GO. Its rather lengthy list of weaknesses (see below) combined with its average stats will likely make it sit on the sidelines along with other Pokémon like Meganium and Glalie.
Abomasnow is a Grass-type and an Ice-type. This means it is weak to Poison-, Fighting-, Steel-, Flying-, Bug-, and Rock-type attacks, as well as very weak to Fire-type attacks. Abomasnow is also resistant to Electric-, Water-, Ground-, and Grass-type moves.
LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Abomasnow:
Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Abomasnow:

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Abomasnow gains no evolution or exclusive Z-Move. It does, however, have a Mega Evolution.
