Concept artwork of Abomasnow
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.

Anime[]
Candice's Abomasnow was used to fight against Ash in a Gym Battle in the episode Sliding Into Seventh!. It battled Ash's Chimchar, proved to be powerful opponent. It was later followed by Morana's Abomasnow in the near end of Best Wishes series from the episode, Survival of the Striaton Gym!, and was used to fight against Cilan and his Pansage in order to take over the Striaton City Gym after she defeated both of his brothers, Chili and Cress. As Cilan mentioned to his evaluation, her Abomasnow uses both offensive attacks and its ice abilities but if she keeps using the same strategy it will be unpredictable.
In the XY series, Wulfric's Abomasnow is more powerful than both Candice and Morana's as it can mega evolve into a Mega Abomasnow. During the Gym rematch with Ash, it was the final Pokémon used to fight against Ash's Greninja but was defeated from its Ash-Greninja form via Bond Phenomenon.
Trivia[]
- While its Sword Pokédex entry states that it drives off Darumaka by swinging its arms like hammers, Abomasnow is unable to learn the moves Hammer Arm and Ice Hammer. The latter is the case despite it being available in the same generation as Tinkatink, who can learn Ice Hammer by breeding.
Origin[]
Abomasnow is based on an evergreen tree and a yeti.
Etymology[]
Abomasnow comes from abominable (referring to the Abominable Snowman) and snow.
