 Although the deck's basic strategy centers around Snow Play, Pain Amplifier, and Cursed Alloy, Abomazong is far more versatile than the average spread deck.  It needs to be, since Snow Play is ineffective on {{e|Grass}}- and {{e|Water}}-type Pokémon.  And spreading damage is unproductive against decks using high-HP Pokémon.  Abomazong has other ways of dealing with decks like these.
-When facing a deck where its typical strategy is ineffectual, the focus of Abomazong shifts toward {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}'s '''Below Zero''' attack and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s '''Coating''' attack.  Below Zero does 60 damage for {{e|Water}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}} and reads that "if {{tt|Abomasnow|this Pokémon}] evolved from Snover during this turn, the Defending Pokémon is now {{TCG|Paralyzed}}."  60 damage is decent alone, but the Paralyzation effect makes Below Zero a real threat in some situations.  It can buy Abomazong one additional turn to set up, while stalling the opponent's strategy by denying them an attack.  {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s Coating attack does 60 damage for {{e|Psychic}}{{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}, and reduces damage done to {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}} during the next turn by 20.  This is great for stalling and doing decent damage at the same time.

 Additional supporting component's to Abomazong's strategy, such as {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}}, are discussed in the "Cards" section.
