Although weather-focused lineups have many weaknesses, especially when faced with like-minded players, Mega Froslass makes snow teams not only extremely viable but also possible menaces in both doubles and singles in Pokémon Champions.
Awakening its full potential, though, will demand way more than simply calling up a storm with Snow Warning. To help you see why many still fear the cold, here are the best snow teams for doubles and singles in Pokémon Champions, and how to win with them.

The Best Snow Teams In Pokémon Champions
Before teaching you how to win, it’s vital to explain what makes a balanced snow team, as well as why Mega Froslass is so special. The latter is simple; their massive Speed and high Special ATK allow it to one-shot most of the opposition, all while staying strong via the +50% DEF offered by Snow. The former is also their biggest differential when compared to the also viable Ninetales (Alolan), which is unable to match it even when performing the type’s signature Snow + Blizzard combo.
Team-wise, the best snow teams in both singles and doubles must be able to work just as well without it. To do that, pair your applier with Pokémon capable of countering its weaknesses and enabling setups, such as Sneasler, as well as solid sweepers like Kingambit or Primarina. Sinistcha and Incineroar are then the premier picks for the flex/support roles in doubles, with Hisuian Arcanine and Garchomp being our chosen counters for those still-common Mega Charizard Y squads. To recap, here are the best Snow Teams for both doubles and singles in Pokémon Champions:
- Best Singles Trio
- Frostlass (Froslassite to evolve into Mega Frostlass) / Alohan Ninetales (Focus Stash)
- Sneasler (Focus Stash + Uburden, Deire Claw, and U-Turn / White Herb if using Ninetales) / Meowscarada (Protean + Focus Stash + Triple Axel and U-Turn)
- Kingambit (Defiant + Black Glasses) / Primarina (Mystic Water + Liquid Voice, Hyper Voice, and Weather Ball)
- Best Doubles Team
- Frostlass (Froslassite) or Alohan Ninetales (Focus Stash)
- Sneasler (Focus Stash / White Herb + Uburden) / Meowscarada (Focus Slash)
- Kingambit (Defiant) / Primarina
- Basculegion (Adaptability) / Hisuian Arcanine / Garchomp (Make sure Arcanine and Garchomp have Rock Slide to counter sun teams and apply flinch)
- Sinistcha (Hospitality + Rage Powder)
- Incineroar
How to Win With Snow Teams In Pokémon Champions
Once you have a solid lineup, it’s only a matter of knowing how to deploy them. After all, although snow teams get a lot from the weather effect, always leading with your applier (in our case, either Mega Froslass or Ninetales) can mean death if faced with an unfavorable matchup or another Mega Team capable of countering it and forcing you to route correct. In doubles, make sure to also always send your Snow DPS to the field in situations where they are protected, be it via Flinch or target redirects. Remember, when in the field, your Ice Pokémon will always be the prime target, and there’s a limit to how much protection snow can provide.
Other than that, there’s not much to say, as you must get your reps in before understanding how your team works and getting the feel for each Pokémon’s abilities. The best way to do that? Try casuals until you feel confident enough to challenge the competitive scene.
