I just want Abomasnow out of UU because I don't want any auto-weather starters in my UU. >:o
Froslass is only up there because of Abomasnow. I can't believe people overlooked Ludicolo and Roserade.

Out of curiosity, would Snover be banned if Abomasnow was? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't, but I'm curious.
I've seen so many Hippopotas on teams, so even if Abomasnow is banned I predict there will lots of Snovers running around to irritate people who think that hail teams will disappear. >_> Obviously they won't be as effective as Abomasnow, but they'll still be used to start Hail and refresh it, anyway.
Also, while Froslass's ability is great combined with Abomasnow, almost all the time when I actually do see a Froslass, she's not on a Hail team. Of course she still screws me over since I use a Hail team in UU frequently, lol. Snow Cloak hax is quite irritating, but it seems most Froslass are leads anyway, so they'll only activate that ability if Abomasnow is the other team's starter, or if they decide to switch out and switch back in later on if there is Abomasnow on their own team, which is quite rare since they're mostly suicide leads.
Ludicolo and Roserade are pretty big threats in UU, but honestly I can't say that I've encountered many or have had trouble. Roserade is pretty powerful, but she is very frail to physical attacks so isn't too difficult to take down. Ludicolo seems to only be on rain teams, which he is a big pain on, but otherwise I never see him. I've noticed every day that there are many more weather based teams in UU, with most of them being rain, then hail, then sunny day. I think the thing about Ludicolo is that it relies on Rain Dance for speed, so if you manage to remove that I find he's not much of a threat at all. I'm also encountering more teams which aren't weather based, but have a pokemon with Sunny Day to nullify other weather effects. It's quite a good strategy since it screws over Hail and Rain Dance teams, but not many people are catching onto it yet.
