Froslass Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, we rate Froslass C-Tier: a niche pick in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire's meta. At 480 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Ice Beam with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Froslass's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Rhyperior (Rock), and Gengar (Ghost), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Dark and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Froslass's base 110 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Snow Cloak is the go-to ability for Froslass. It increases evasion to 1.25× during hail. Its hidden ability Cursed Body can work in specific setups.
Base 110 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Froslass is a mixed attacker with base 80 Attack and 80 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a hazard setter.
For Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, the core moveset is Ice Beam, Thunder Wave, Destinybond, and Spikes. Ice Beam leads at 0% usage. This set covers the hazard setter role with a mix of damage and utility.
