I’ll cover 4 good Pokemon for a hail team.

  1. AbomasnowAbomasnow is vital for a Hail team, as he sets it up with Snow Warning right away. It is one of the two Megas that function decently in Hail (the other being Mega Glalie, who lives only to Explode.) So here’s a Mega Abomasnow set:Abomasnow @ AbomasiteAbility: Soundproof -> Snow WarningBrave Nature252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpA-Leech Seed-Wood Hammer-Ice Shard-Blizzard

  2. WalreinWalrein serves as the best of walls under hail. It gets Ice Body and Aqua Ring, and it can hold Leftovers, allowing it to heal 18.75% of its health each turn. Here’s a Walrein moveset:Walrein @ LeftoversAbility: Ice BodyCalm Nature252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 SpA-Substitute-Aqua Ring-Scald-Ice Beam/BlizzardThe only reason you should run Ice Beam on this set is if Hail runs out by the time Walrein’s on the field,

  3. MamoswineMamoswine has great HP and Attack, so I think he fits the role of mildly offensive Hail setter.Mamoswine @ Focus SashAbility: Snow CloakAdamant Nature252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def-Hail-Icicle Crash-Earthquake-Knock Off

  4. RegiceRegice has awesome Special Defense and respectable Defense and Special Attack, but his Speed is trash! So here’s an offensive RP Regice:

MY BODY IS REGI (Regice) @ Life OrbAbility: Ice BodyModest Nature252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 HP-Rock Polish-Thunderbolt-Ice Beam-Focus Blast

That’s all I got for now, hope I helped!

Since this old post was brought up anyway, after recent changes to the game,

bothAlolan NinetalesandVanilluxeare good Hail setters due to their decent speed and more importantly, access to the new moveAurora Veilwhich is basically a Reflect and Light Screen in a single move, but can be set up only during Hail, which their ability Snow Warning allows them to do simply by switching in.

A good set would have max speed EVs, Aurora Veil, and it is usually preferred to have Light Clay to increase Aurora Veil turns to 8. Blizzard or Freeze Dry are other good moves to have.

a very good poke would be an avalugg because it is a super-tank for defence, it also cannot be one-shot because of sturdy but its ice body really compliments its using hail, I would suggest using avalugg for multi battle proposes if you plan to have it with the ice body ability (sturdy is its hidden ability so you may want to trade with a friend for that abilityPokémon: AvaluggItem: Leftovers/shell bellNature: adamant/brave/impish/relaxedAbility: SturdyAttacks-Hail-ice fang, good stab, one of the few physical ice type attacks-rapid spin, to take away hazards-skull bash, to raise defence and deal damage252 evs in defence and attack, 4 in sp-def

Castform would be an excellent addition because it would get a stab/ 100% accuracy with blizzardItem: Life orbNature: ModestAbility: ForecastAttacks-Weather ball during the effects of any weather condition it turns into a 100 power attack and used as a last resort random mega charizard y battle-Blizzard for obvious reasons-Hydro pump, for dealing with those pesky fire types-Cosmic power, it might take quite a bit of chain breeding to get this move but it raises both of its defences by one stage making it harder to killEVS: 252 SpAtt, 252 HP, 4 speed

One poke that most people would not think of is slowbro on a hail team.Item: SlowbroiteAbility: AnyNature: Quiet/RelaxedAttacks-Surf, most powerful special water type attack that can be learned by slowbro-Blizzard, for obvious reasons-Psychic, good stab and for obvious reasons-Trick room, because most ice types are very slow this makes them a very large threat along with making mega slowbro one as well.EVS: 252 SpAtt, 252 Def, 4 SpDef
