How's Hail looking?

It probably won't be much better, but Beartic got a really good boost to attack so there's hope for it. I really hope Ice gets some use this gen, they need a buff so bad ;-;

Hail will only be good in the hands of Alolan Ninetales setting Aurora Veil.

Slush Rush seems like a waste since defensive Water and Steel types can handle them much easier. If you want to benefit from Hail, fire off Blizzards, especially with Specs or LO.

Tell me about it; a lot of my favorites are PU/NU ice types...

>>29946609
How does Aurora Veil work exactly? Is it specific to Ninetails or does it act like dual screens?

Most likely, hail is going to be about setting up Aurora veil for team support. Beartic is much better off in rain, but slush rushers may see use in lower tiers

>>29946639
It's double screens that can only be placed in hail and only learned by icemons because for once GF decided not to cuck icefags by letting water types have all their best moves.

>>29946883
So the move is trash then?

>>29947005
Not necessarily. A-Vulpix/A-Ninetales get Snow Warning as a HA

Would Ice Body Avalugg be decent with hail/aurora veil support?

>>29947777
>2 turns and 2 moves to set up double screen
What's the point?

>>29947804
>what is ninetales
retard

>>29946551
Well you also now have Komo-o for a possible hail team, so there's that.

So snowslash could be a very good set up sweeper in hail with icicle crash, iron head and swords dance. But what about the last move? Leech life for recovery?

>>29948347
Earthquake maybe

>>29947005
The move is outright broken in the hands of Ninetales-A. It's useless for everything else.

>>29946551
You do realize Beartic is even slower than Sandslash, right?

>>29946551
>All these "bulky" slow ice types.
That's the true sin.
