Snom (Japanese: ユキハミ Yukihami) is a dual-type Ice/Bug Pokémon introduced in Generation VIII.

It evolves into Frosmoth when leveled up with high friendship during the night.

Biology

Snom is a small caterpillar Pokémon. It has a round white body. It has two small black dot eyes. There are two round pincers. Four small legs are located underneath its body. On its body are transparent spikes.

Snom can spit out a thread imbued with frigid energy. It uses the thread to tie its body onto a branch in order to disguise itself as icicle while sleeping. Snom's diet consists of eating snow that is piled up on the ground. The spikes on its back grow bigger and more impressive with the more snow that Snom consumes.

Trivia

• No other Pokémon have the same type combination as Snom and its evolved form.
• Snom:
  • Has the lowest base stat total of all Ice-type Pokémon.
  • Has the lowest base Speed stat of all Ice-type Pokémon.
  • Is tied with Swinub for the lowest base Special Defense of all Ice-type Pokémon.

Origin

Snom may be based on a jewel caterpillar. Snom may also draw some inspiration from the larvae of the Gynaephora genus of alpine or Arctic moths. One particular species, the arctic woolly bear moth, can enter a dormant state that allows it to endure temperatures as low as -158 degrees Fahrenheit.

Name origin

Snom may be a combination of snow, worm, and nom (slang for eating).

Yukihami may be a combination of 雪 yuki (snow) and 食み hami (eating).
