In the anime

Ash battled here in Sliding Into Seventh!, where he earned the Icicle Badge. In the battle, Ash used his Grotle, Staraptor, Gliscor, and Chimchar, even though the first three are weak to Ice-type moves. Nevertheless, Ash eventually managed to defeat Candice.

Pokémon used in Gym

		Sneasel ♀
		Sneasel was the first Pokémon used by Candice during her Gym Battle against Ash when she went up against Grotle. Although Sneasel had an obvious type-advantage and could skate across the icy battlefield, Grotle was able to use its new defensive battle technique to absorb Sneasel's attacks and was then able to knock her out with Rock Climb. Sneasel's known moves are Icy Wind and Fury Swipes.

		Snover ♀
		A female Snover was Candice's third Pokémon to be used, and she proved herself to be a powerful battler, knowing plenty of Ice and Grass attacks which she used to defeat Ash's Gliscor. However, Snover was knocked out by Ash's Chimchar. Snover's known moves are Razor Leaf, Ice Beam, Bullet Seed, and Icy Wind.

		Abomasnow ♀
		Candice's main Pokémon and the major powerhouse of her team is Abomasnow. She first appeared battling Zoey's Glameow soon after Ash and his friends entered Snowpoint City. She was later paired with Buizel to help stop Team Rocket from stealing the Snowpoint Trainers' School supply of Pokémon. In Sliding Into Seventh!, Abomasnow was Candice's final Pokémon in her Gym battle against Ash. Abomasnow knocked out Staraptor and Grotle before Chimchar defeated her with Flame Wheel. Abomasnow's known moves are Ice Shard, Wood Hammer, Blizzard, Ice Punch, and Razor Leaf.
