  • As of Generation IV, Snover is the last Pokémon in the National Dex that evolves into another Pokémon.

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 three mountain peaks.

Name origin

Snover may be derived from "snow" and "clover".

Yukikabli's name comes the Japanese words yuki (snow) and kaburi (head). Alternatively, kabu is Japanese for turnip. The bli part of its name may come from blizzard. Its German name, Shnebedeck, comes from Schnee and bedeckt. Its French name, Blizzi, comes from blizzard.
