Mega Salamance Counters

Ice-type Pokémon and moves will be twice as effective, so keep that in mind when building your team. The counters listed below will be great on your team against Mega Salamance.
- Weavile: Ice Shard and Avalanche

- Galarian Darmanitan: Ice Fang and Avalanche
- Abomasnow/Mega Abomasnow: Frost Breath and Icicle Spear

Lucky trainers will even get the chance to catch the Shiny Variant of Salamance.
