In the anime

The Snowbelle Gym appeared in Sliding Into Seventh!, where Ash challenged Candice to a Gym battle for his seventh Sinnoh League Badge. In the battle, Ash used his Grotle, Staraptor, Gliscor, and Chimchar, even though the first three were weak against Candice's Ice Pokémon. Despite this, Ash was able to defeat Candice and earn himself the Icicle Badge.

Pokémon used in Gym

 
Sneasel
Sneasel was the first Pokémon used by Candice during her Gym Battle against Ash when she went up against Grotle. Although Sneasel had an obvious type-advantage and could skate across the icy battlefield, Grotle was able to use its new defensive battle technique to absorb Sneasel's attacks and was then able to knock her out with Rock Climb.

Sneasel's known moves are Icy Wind and Fury Swipes.

Snover
A female Snover was Candice's third Pokémon to be used, and she proved herself to be a powerful battler, knowing plenty of Ice and Grass attacks which she used to defeat Ash's Gliscor. However, Snover was knocked out by Ash's Chimchar.

Snover's known moves are Razor Leaf, Ice Beam, Bullet Seed, and Icy Wind.

Abomasnow
Candice's main Pokémon and the major powerhouse of her team is Abomasnow. She first appeared battling Zoey's Glameow soon after Ash and his friends entered Snowpoint City. She was later paired with Buizel to help stop Team Rocket from stealing the Snowpoint Trainers' School supply of Pokémon.

In Sliding Into Seventh!, Abomasnow was Candice's final Pokémon in her Gym battle against Ash. Abomasnow knocked out Staraptor and Grotle before Chimchar defeated her with Flame Wheel.

Abomasnow's known moves are Ice Shard, Wood Hammer, Blizzard, Ice Punch, and Razor Leaf.

The Snowpoint Gym in Pokémon Adventures

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

The Snowpoint Gym appeared in Striking Out Snover and To and Fro with Froslass, where Platinum entered the Gym in order to tell Candice about her plan of going to Lake Acuity to stop Team Galactic from capturing Uxie. However, it turned out that she was forced to clear the Gym before she could meet Candice. After quickly plowing through the Gym puzzle and Gym Trainers, Platinum reached Candice and started a Gym battle with her. Wanting to get to Lake Acuity as soon as possible, Platinum intended to finish the battle quickly.

As Platinum had recently parted ways with Diamond and Pearl in order for each of them to protect one of the lake guardians, she was still lacking some of her own self-confidence, which she had previously received from her friends. Thankfully, due to Candice scolding her of her half-baked efforts, Platinum was able to make herself use her boldest strategies and beat Candice, earning her her seventh Badge. After the battle, Candice told Platinum how she had been contacted by Byron about the Team Galactic crisis, and agreed to come help Platinum and Maylene fight the villainous team at Lake Acuity.

The Gym is also inhabited by numerous wild Ice-type Pokémon, one of which was caught by Platinum after the Gym battle and later given to Diamond.
