Abomasnow (Japanese: ユキノオー Yukinooh) is a dual-type Grass/Ice Pokémon.

It evolves from Snover at level 40.

Biology

Physiology

Abomasnow are large, white creatures covered in thick, white fur. Abomasnow's feet and hands are dark-green. They have a short, dark-green tail. As Abomasnow evolve from Snover, they grow two more green spikes on their backs for a total of four. These spikes resemble mountains. Abomasnow have a bushy mustaches covering their mouths, light-purple eyes and large, bushy eyebrows that stick out like antennae.

Gender differences

The fur on a female's chest is thicker than it is on a male's.

Special abilities

Abomasnow have the ability to sense snow from miles away. Not only can they sense it, but when Abomasnow get too angry or form in packs, they have the ability to create high and low pressure in the air resulting in small snow storms. Also, Abomasnow's feet allow them to clutch into the ground. Therefore, even the harshest winds cannot blow this Pokémon down.

Behavior

Abomasnow are a tad short tempered. They can get very territorial, and because of this, they live spaced out high atop cold and icy mountain caps so that they can have their space. They are also very stiff Pokémon both mentally and physically. Because of this, they are sometimes hard to manage.

Habitat

Abomasnow dwell on snowy mountaintops.

  • Abomasnow and Ludicolo, along with their pre-evolutions, are the only Template:Type2 Pokémon not weak to Template:Type2 moves, due to their secondary types.
  • Out of all the Template:Type2 Pokémon, Snover and Abomasnow are the only two that cannot learn Sunny Day.
  • Its Diamond and Pearl sprite is "fatter" than its Platinum sprite.

Origin

Abomasnow appears to be based on a cross between an evergreen tree covered in snow and a yeti.

Name origin

Abomasnow is a shortening of the name "Abominable Snowman", another name for the yeti. Yukinooh could mean 雪の王 yuki no ō, snow king. Its German name, Rexblisar, comes from rex, Latin for king, and blizzard. Its French name, Blizzaroi, comes from blizzard and roi.
