It lives a quiet life on mountains that are perpetually covered in snow. It hides itself by whipping up blizzards.
万年雪が 積もる 山脈で 静かに 暮らす。 ブリザードを 発生させて 姿を 隠す。
Release information
This card was included in the Paldea Evolved expansion with artwork by Ryuta Fuse, first released in the Japanese Snow Hazard expansion. It was reprinted in the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex subset alongside a new print with artwork by Hitoshi Ariga, which features the Shiny version of Abomasnow. This Shiny print was later released outside Asia in the special Paldean Fates expansion.
Abomasnow's "Freezing Disaster" Ability does not prevent attacks, Abilities, or other effects that move damage counters (eg. Munkidori's "Adrena-Brain" Ability), as they are not technically considered "healing".[1][2]
Whenever the "Freezing Disaster" Ability is active, both players are allowed to play cards that heal damage (eg. Potion, Poké Vital A, Medical Energy); however, as the healing is prevented, the cards are simply used to no effect.[2]
