Snow Cloak (Japanese: ゆきがくれ Hidden in the Snow) is an ability introduced in Generation IV. Eight Pokémon have this ability, all of which are Template:Type2.

Snow Cloak causes evasion to increase by 20% in a hailstorm. If a Pokémon which is not of the Template:Type2 acquires this ability, it will be immune to the effects of hail.

Outside of battle

If the Pokémon with Snow Cloak is leading the party in an area with a blizzard, then Snow Cloak decreases the wild Pokémon encounter rate by 50%.
