Abomasnow is a large, bipedalPokémon covered in shaggy, white fur. It has pale purple eyes with bushy eyebrows and long strands of fur covering its mouth. Two tufts of longer fur grow on both its back and chest, with the chest fur being longer on the female. Its hands, feet, and tail are dark green and spiky, similar to the foliage of an evergreen tree. On its back are four green spikes that resemble pinecones.
Abomasnow lives in snowy mountains and appears only when snow flowers bloom. Once the flowers die, it retreats to isolated areas because Abomasnow prefers to be alone and not associate with others. It is able to create blizzards to hide itself and can also cause whiteout conditions with just a shake of its massive body. Abomasnow is also known as the "Ice Monster" and "abominable snowman". It protectsSnover from packs ofGalarianDarumaka, who chase them for theBerries they grow, by swinging its arms like hammers. Abomasnow is powerful enough to split huge boulders in two. As mentioned in theSleep Style Dex, a sleeping Abomasnow can still cause blizzards by occasionally swinging its arms. Researchers acknowledged that it is unknown why Abomasnow does this, though it is theorized that it is either a habit to hide itself or just sleepy flailing.
The sprouts on its back grow into great shafts of ice when this Pokémon Mega Evolves into Mega Abomasnow.[1] Its fur becomes longer and shaggy over its entire body, particularly around its head. The green remnants of its buds surround the base of the large icicles on its back, while white fur covers the middle. Using its ice shafts, Mega Abomasnow can conjure blizzards of−22 degrees Fahrenheit.
A powerful Pokémon that can split huge boulders with ease. Dislikes associating with others and chooses to live quietly deep within the mountains, playing with the snow.
Increases Snorlax's Strength by anywhere from 200 to 800.
Abomasnow sometimes swings its arms even in its sleep, whipping up blizzards. No consensus has been reached among researchers about whether this is a habit to hide itself, or just some sleepy flailing.
Abomasnow made its television debut inPikachu's Ice Adventure, where it was fighting with aFroslass before they realized their quarrel was destroying several ice statues.
In a flashback inThis Magik Moment!, a female Abomasnow fought aFroslass. Their clash triggered a blizzard that prevented a plane carrying three Pokémon stars from arriving atAlola.

A soldier's Abomasnow appeared inThe Redemption, during a fantasy of a story from the past. It was one of the many Pokémon fighting in the great war ofKalos 3,000 years previously. Two additional Abomasnow were later seen petrified after theultimate weapon was used byAZ to end the war.
An Abomasnow belonging toCandice was first seen inDisagreeable Graveler, when she took it out of its ball to savePlatinum after she fainted from the cold on her way toSnowpoint City. Later, she used it in her Gym match against the same girl, where it lost to herLopunny'sJump Kick after Candice switched outFroslass.

Abomasnow appears as a trophy in both versions.
NA:A solitary Grass/Ice type, Abomasnow loves to live in the snowy mountains, though it occasionally mingles with people as well. In Smash Bros., it uses a combo of Blizzard and Ice Punch, punishing anyone who gets too close. It can change direction when attacking, so sneaking up on it from behind won't work!
PAL:Abomasnow is a Grass- and Ice-type Pokémon said to live the quiet life in snowy mountains, but it's been known to mingle with humans too. It can whip up blizzards to attack anyone who strays too close, and it can throw a powerful Ice Punch either straight in front of back over its shoulder, so there's nowhere to hide!
Abomasnow appears to be based on a cross between anevergreen tree covered insnow and ayeti. It may also be based on 樹氷juhyou, trees completely covered in snow known as "snow monsters". It also resembles asnowy owl.
