The basic, solid strategy of Abomazong centers purely around spreading damage with {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}'s ''Snow Play'' attack and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Pain Amplifier'' attack. Snow Play does 20 damage to the Defending Pokémon and 20 damage to each of the opponent's non-{{e|Grass}} or -{{e|Water}} Pokémon, all for an Energy Cost of {{e|Colorless}}{{e|Colorless}}. Provided Abomazong is not facing a water- or grass-centric deck, this is a very powerful spread effect. The second key part of the assault is {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Pain Amplifier'' attack. Pain Amplifier is a free attack that places one damage counter on each of the opponent's Pokémon that already has damage counters on it. For no energy cost, this is a very strong follow up to Snow Play. Another reason {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}} is used is for its ''Cursed Alloy'' {{TCG|Pokémon Power|Poké-Power}}. Cursed Alloy states that "As long as {{tt|Bronzong|this Pokémon}} is your Active Pokémon, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon that has any Poké-Powers between turns." This simply piles on damage to Pokémon already ailing from Snow Play and Pain Amplifier, and it is helpful against most decks since Poké-Powers, such as those of {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Claydol|15}} and {{TCG|Legends Awakened|Uxie|43}}, are very popular for support. | The basic, solid strategy of Abomazong centers purely around spreading damage with {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Abomasnow|12}}'s ''Snow Play'' attack and {{TCG ID|Majestic Dawn|Bronzong|16}}'s ''Pain Amplifier'' attack.
