Trivia

  • Snover is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 334.
  • No other Pokémon share the same type combination as Snover and its evolution Abomasnow.

Origin

Snover appears to have been based on the daikon radish, also known as the winter radish, which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered fir tree. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

Name origin

Snover may be a combination of snow and clover or cover (as in covered with snow). Alternatively, it may be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over".

Yukikaburi is a combination of 雪 yuki (snow) and 頭 kaburi (head). Alternatively, it may also derive from 蕪菁 kabu (turnip) or 被せる kabuseru (to cover).
