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 managed to defeat Candice.
Pokémon used in Gym
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 made one final appearance in Double-Time Battle Training!, where Candice used her to demonstrate move combinations for Dawn. She reappeared in a flashback in League Unleashed!. Abomasnow also appeared alongside Candice during the credits of Zoroark: Master of Illusions. Abomasnow's known moves are Ice Shard, Wood Hammer, Blizzard, Ice Punch, and Razor Leaf. | ||

Sneasel's known moves are Icy Wind and Fury Swipes. | ||
