Abomasnow? Worth it?

So the title pretty much explains it.
Do you think Abomasnow would do any good in this format? It has a great Body and cool spread attack.
The only things i see it not hitting are Kingdra, Vileplume, Feraligatr,and Jumpluff any others?

Also does anyone know of a good partner for him? Maybe something to help with the above match-ups.

EDIT: Please read the Player's Sandbox rules before posting. I added the link. ~EspeonROX.

Abomasnow from Stormfront.
 
Floatzel GL LV.X works well with Abomasnow, since you can recover it rather than discarding it, and then play it right down again. Dialga G Lv.X covers Plume, but then there would be no point for Floatzel. Try Floatzel,Feraligatr Prime, and Abomasnow. Or maybe Abomasnow ith Blaziken Fb X. It covers Vileplume(Luring Flame) and Jumpluff for weakness.
 
Omastar MD. Check it out!

Make it a dissruption/devolving deck and run lots of Judge(HINT HINT)
Vileplume problem solved!
 
and evolve all those times i dont think its worth it and they could bebes for it back
 
Umm, I gotta agree w/ Flamemaster, Omastar is one way to go, the point is to spread all of the damage around and then do a few surprise KO's to Evolved Pokemon, and then Abomasnow can still attack. Instead of Feraligatr, it would be wise to play Abomasnow,Omastar,and Floatzel X. But if you want to keep this deck in format, swap Omastar for the Gatr.

Well, it'll probably get rid of more than 1 Pokémon. And that's a Bebe's you may not have drawn in the first five cards (Judge+draw at the beginning of the turn), and a Bebe's that could have gone to setting something else up.
Abomasnow, Floatzel, and Omastar is the way to go.
 
Don't even think about using omastar. It is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too inconsistent to be worth it. For 1 thing, you can't search a fossil out with anything. No bebe's, no Pokémon collector, no Luxury Ball. This means the only way for you to hit it is to get lucky and draw it. Even after you draw it, the fossil doesn't count as a Pokémon until it's on your bench. In your hand, Helix Fossil counts as a Trainer, meaning if your opponent plays Vileplume, you can't play your Fossil for the rest of the game. If you can't play your fossil, you can't play Omastar, which is just a wasted spot. You'd be better off running some kind of starter or tech to help against weakness.

Blaziken LV. X is a pretty good Idea, because it not only brings up Vileplume, but it also kills Dialga G Lv. X, which ruins Abomasnow's poke-body. You'll still have to be careful with Vileplume though, because all your opponent has to do is attatch an Unown Q, and Vileplume then only has 1 retreat cost.

This might seem obvious, but Double colorless is something you have to run. Floatzel GL LV. X is nice too, because it isn't shut down by Dialga G lv. X's body. Also, try the new Solrock with the poke-body "heal block". As long as you have a Lunatone in play, no damage counters can be removed from the field, so that neutralizes Garchomp C LV. X and Blissey Prime. Not neccessary, but it's definitely worth a shot.
 
Helix Fossil is still searchable ---> Fossil Excavator from Majestic Dawn, for as long as it's still in the rotation. But yes, trainer lock is still a problem for most any deck playing fossils.
 
try using mamoswine sp he does damage top pokemon between turns exsept for water then next turn bring up abamasnow to do more damage or keep mamoswine sp till abamasnow is set.
 
Instead of omastar, you could tech in Jirachi UL maybe, it's flippy and requires an attack, but it comes as an surprise, psychic energies mean you could include Crobat G and Gallade 4 Lv X, along with some poke turns and hunters. Lunatone and solrock are NEEDED in this deck, otherwise Garchomp C, Blissey (Prime and Plt), and Nidoqueen (RR) will slowly stop you in your tracks.

Cards like Miasma Valley, Metagross (SV), and Absol Prime could help out too, if you have the deck space and cards to work with them.
 
@Kaz103: Good. Let them. Let them burn their resources to keep up with you. That's exactly what this deck is designed to do. That's also why you play Seeker/SSU so that when they do Bebe's it back, you can get rid of it again.
