Snow Warning |
Snow (Japanese: ゆき snow) is a type of weather first seen in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team, before appearing for the first time in the core series games in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
In the Mystery Dungeon games, snow is a separate weather from hail that cannot be summoned by moves or Abilities. It increases Movement Speed of Ice-type Pokémon by 1.
In Generation IX, snow replaces hail. It lasts for 5 turns if created using Snow Warning or Snowscape, or 8 turns if created by a Pokémon holding an Icy Rock. The move Chilly Reception also creates snow and switches the user out. It raises the Defense stat of all Ice-type Pokémon by 50%. Unlike hail, snow does not damage non-Ice types.
