Snover (Japanese: ユキカブリ, Hepburn: Yukikaburi) (SNOW-ver[1]) is a Grass/Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation IV.
Snover evolves into Abomasnow starting at level 40.
Biology[]
Physiology[]
Snover look like snow-covered trees. On the top of Snover's head is a cap of hair that has the shape of the mountains it resides in. The arms are white with green at the end. Snover has four fingers on each hand. On its back are mountain-like appendages that also represent its habitat. Snover's body is mainly split into three segments. Male Snover have one segment with snow and two with bark; while females have two segments with snow and one with bark. The legs and tail of Snover are rather stubby compared to the round body.
Gender differences[]
Male Snover have a brown middle section while females have a white middle section.
Behavior[]
Snover generally live far away from humans, high up on snowy mountain peaks or deep in cold boreal forests. They are very inquisitive of people, however, and will approach human travelers with great curiosity. Large numbers of them will congregate around human footprints, attempting to discern where they came from. Snover migrate with the seasons; in the winter, they make their way down chilly mountain slopes, as the cooler weather enables them to dwell at lower altitudes. It is during this time where human contact is most likely; they seem particularly fond of children. Once the weather warms again in the spring, they trek back up to their mountain peaks. Their bodies also grow edible white fruits along the borders of the white and brown areas of their torsos in the spring, described to taste like frozen candy; they are a favorite of Galarian Darumaka. In battle, Snover can summon blizzards that obscure the vision of foes with fog-like flurries of snow. Once their opponents are blinded, they will launch balls of ice at them before they have a chance to retaliate. In particularly harsh weather, these Pokémon will root themselves deep beneath the soil to weather strong winds as well as absorb nutrients and warm water from below, regulating their temperatures.
