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.

Avalugg Guide
In Legends: Arceus, Avalugg works as a wallbreaker with 514 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list: a solid option in Legends: Arceus for the right team. Bodypress with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Legends: Arceus, watch for Infernape (Fire), Conkeldurr (Fighting), and Golem (Rock) when using Avalugg. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Steel-type attackers are also a problem. At base 28 Speed, Avalugg won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.
Own Tempo prevents confusion. That's the one you want on Avalugg. Sturdy is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses. Ice Body works too if your team needs something different.
Avalugg is a physical attacker with base 117 Attack. Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. Speed tells the real story. Base 28 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. Fits the wallbreaker role.
In Legends: Arceus, run Bodypress, Hail, Auroraveil, and Avalanche on Avalugg. Bodypress is the most common pick at 21% usage. Avalanche provides reliable STAB damage.
