Mega Abomasnow Raid Counters
Going into the Mega Abomasnow Raid, trainers will need Pokemon with a decent attack stat and type effective attacks. Overall, Mega Abomasnow is one of the easiest Mega pokemon to take down in Pokemon Go. The raid can be easily completed by a team of 2 to 6 trainers; a team of 3 to 8 trainers can take it down in under a minute and a team of 8 to 20 trainers can shred through it making a better completionist bonus.
Using Mega Pokemon such as Mega Houndoom or Mega Charizard Y will make the battle a lot easier for most trainers. Ultimately, you will want to use Fire (2X), Bug, Fighting, Flying, Rock, or Steel-type Pokemon. Be careful, because the raid can be difficult if using Ground, Water, Grass, or Electric -type Pokemon.
Here are the best counters to overcoming the raid. Some of these recommendations can be substituted out for Pokemon with type advantage or a better move set.

- Mega Charizard Y – Fire Spin & Blast Burn
- Reshiram – Fire Fang & Overheat
