Abyssringe is a rather potent special attacker when it leverages its Adaptability ability. It is generally held back by its low offensive power and somewhat mediocre speed tier in relation to the new pokemon in this generation. It's Surfs hit extremely hard with the Choice Specs item, capable of nearly one hit koing pokemon such as physically defensive Corviknight, and getting a near guaranteed 2hko after leftovers recovery against specially defensive Corviknight. With Hydro Pump, those near one hit kos are a foregone conclusion and it can hit a roll to ohko physically defensive Corviknight and it only has 1 roll that doesn't kill no bulk Tapu Lele. Sludge Wave, while being resisted, or outright immune to, by much of the tier, is good for calling out grass types that may attempt to switch in against Abyssringe's strong water moves. Ice beam is good coverage for Zapdos, enabling Abyssringe to 2hko Dragonite and prevent it's set up.\
With Choice Scarf Abyssringe can leverage its very nice speed tier to pull off quick Flip Turns that are Adaptability boosted, calling out enemies who hard switching and getting you out of tough match ups. As well as allowing you to become a check to Choice Scarf and Choice Specs Tapu Lele variants

### Team Options
### Weaknesses
Abyssringe struggles a lot in dealting damage without items such as Choice Specs or Life Orb. Much of the National Dex tier can just shrug off Abyssringe's attacks and with it's pitiful bulk a good few of them are able to ohko it in return. And when Abyssringe does run those items, its fearful of pokemon who are faster than it, even in base. Pokemon such as Iron Vice or Iron Valiant can even leverage their often ran boosted speed to outrun scarf Abyssringe and knock if out with something such as Earthquake or Psychic respectively. \
It fears Pokemon with strong priority such as Raging Bolt and Kingambit as well, or even Mega Lopunny who can batter it with Fake Out and switch out to a resist. The uncommon Rillaboom is also a big concern for Abyssringe as a Choice Band Grassy Glide can outright knock out Abyssringe from 100% on 43% of rolls.
