Abomasnow (ユキノオー, Yukino'oo) is a Grass/Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV and the evolved form of Snover.
Abomasnow evolves from Snover starting at level 40. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Abomasnow by using an Abomasite.
Biology
Physiology
Abomasnow are covered with thick white fur which covers the mouth but the hands and feet are dark green, along with the tail. It has four spikes on its back due to evolution. Their eyes are light purple and their eyebrows are actually large mounts of fur gathered in one place.
Gender differences
Females have longer fur covering their chest.
Behavior
Abomasnow lives in snowy mountains and appears only when snow flowers bloom. Once the flowers die, it retreats to isolated areas. It is able to create blizzards to hide itself. It can also cause whiteout conditions with just a shake of its massive body. Abomasnow is also known as the "Ice Monster". It protects Snover from packs of Galarian Darumaka, who chase them for the Berries they grow; Abomasnow does so by swinging its arms like hammers.
Habitat
Because they are Ice-type Pokémon, Abomasnow tend to live in snowy mountains.
