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.

Major appearances

Snover debuted in PK18. Dawn's Piplup and Ash's Aipom bumped into one while wandering around in a cave, and it subsequently went on a rampage.

A talking Snover appeared in PK19, where it played a major role.

A male Snover debuted in The Lonely Snover!, which also marked the species' main series debut. He wanted to be friends with Ash and his friends. He was later adopted by a Teacher.

A female Snover debuted in Sliding Into Seventh!, where she was used by Candice during her Gym battle against Ash. She battled Gliscor and managed to defeat it before being beaten by Chimchar.

In Over the Mountain of Snow!, a male Snover wasn't feeling well and was being looked after by an Abomasnow. With help from Clemont, Snover soon recovered.

Minor appearances

In Giratina and the Sky Warrior, a Snover attempted to stop a glacier from destroying the nearby village.

In Challenging a Towering Figure!, a Trainer's male Snover battled a Donphan during the Festival Battle Challenge.

She first appeared in Striking Out Snover.

Trivia

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).
