According to the official Pokédex entry, ‘The armor of ice covering its lower jaw puts steel to shame and can shatter rocks with ease. This Pokémon barrels along steep mountain paths, cleaving through the deep snow.’ It’s therefore of little surprise that this is one of the boss encounters you meet in the world of Hisui. It’s modern-day equivalent, Avalugg, has the following Pokédex entry: ‘At high latitudes, this Pokémon can be found with clusters of Bergmite on its back as it swims among the icebergs.’ Hisuian Avalugg is fairly useless in Great League and Ultra League, but is reasonable in Master League, where Ice-type Pokémon are particularly useful. It’s by no means a stand-out Pokémon, but could be in an interesting corner case if you think there’s a spot on your team for it. Good luck defeating Hisuian Avalugg in Pokémon Go!
