Revision as of 17:27, 7 November 2023
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 results 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 there. Snover can sink its feet into the snow to absorb water, this helps cool down its body temperature.
Prior to Generation VI, Snover and its evolved form, Abomasnow, were the only known Pokémon that could have Snow Warning as an Ability.

Pokémon Adventures
Candice has a collection of ice Pokémon in her Gym that includes multiple Snover, but the only one she uses in battle is the one that fought Platinum's Empoleon, which also happens to be the only one she caught. She was seemingly defeated by the Emperor Pokémon's Metal Claw, but managed to launch a Seed Bomb that landed on Empoleon's head, fainting her and resulting in a tie. She first appeared in Striking Out Snover.
Two wild Snover appeared in Striking Out Snover.
Two Snover appeared in the Wild Area in Ooh Shiny!! Legendary Equipment.
