Snover (Japanese: ユキカブリ Yukikaburi) is a dual-type Grass/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.

It evolves into Abomasnow starting at level 40.

Biology

Male Snover growing Snoverberries in the anime

Snover is a Pokémon with a white upper body and brown lower body that resembles a snow-covered tree. It will be two-thirds brown if male and two-thirds white if female. It has green eyes and three points on top of its head. Its feet and green tail are stubby, and there are two green spikes that resemble pinecones on its back. Five cones form its hand: a large central cone with four smaller cones around it. Edible white Berries grow along Snover's midsection.

In Galar, packs of its natural predator, Galarian Darumaka, enjoy eating the Berries produced by Snover. This result in Abomasnow often chasing them away in order to protect it. Snover lives on snowy peaks in warm seasons but migrates lower as the weather cools. A curious Pokémon, it often approaches people and can be found inspecting footprints in the snow. There are stories of Snover visiting human settlements, often bonding with the children living there. Snover can sink its feet into the snow to absorb water, this helps cool down its body temperature.

• Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky: In the Special Episode Bidoof's Wish, Snover is the member of Team Rogue that gives Bidoof a map to the Star Cave and accompanies him on his journey there, only to gang up on him with the rest of Team Rogue.

Trivia

• Snover is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 334.
• No other Pokémon has the same type combination as Snover and its evolution.
  • Snover and its evolution are also the only Ice-type Pokémon in the Grass Egg Group.

Origin

Snover appears to have been made to resemble a snow-covered fir tree. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山), which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

Name origin

Snover may be a combination of snow and cover, as well as a play on snowed over.

Yukikaburi may be a combination of 雪 yuki (snow) and 頭 kaburi (head) or 被り kaburi (headdress; covering). It may also involve 蕪 kabu (turnip).
