Snow Cloak ゆきがくれ Hidden in the Snow |

After using a move, the Pokémon is cloaked in frost for a short time, reducing damage taken. If the Pokémon uses a move to surround itself in snow, it further reduces damage taken and increases the effect’s duration. Icy Wind, Blizzard, and Ice Wing Whiteout apply a freeze counter to opposing Pokémon they hit. If an opposing Pokémon’s freeze counter reaches 5, that Pokémon becomes frozen. | |
