Yes that is how it works, effectively making Frost Breath more powerful than Blizzard (assuming Blizzard doesn't crit), as well as bypassing CM users like Clefable.How does Frost Breath works under the effect of Technician?
I mean, does it receives the boost and then results in a crit, reaching a 135 BP, or it doesn't receive the boost since it results always in a crit?
I'm asking this because I was about to suggest this set:
Abomasnow @ Abomasite
Ability: Snow Warning -> Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Quiet Nature
- Frost Breath
- Giga Drain
- Hidden Power [Rock]
- Leech Seed / Water Pulse
Frost Breat ignores every kind of boost to defenses and, if it works as I think, it can reach a BP of 135 (60 BP+Technician=90 BP*1.5 (crit)=135 BP)+STAB, ergo, much more powerful than a simple Blizzard, but without the small chance of freezing the opponent and with 90% accuracy. With a Trick Room team this Pokemon can be really amazing as he doesn't fears statuppers.
That set you made is quite strong, and I believe the standard UU AoA mixed set is also really strong; with the buff to Ice Shard, Frost Breath > Blizzard, Bullet Seed > Wood Hammer, and Bulldoze possibly > Earthquake.
Another thing that made Technician Mega Abomasnow a winner is that you can run Soundproof pre mega to check Mega Altaria, which in turn makes Synthesis a viable option to back up your decent 90/105/105 defences.
