- As of Generation IV, Snover learns Blizzard at the earliest level of all Pokémon at level 41.
Origin
Snover appears to have been based on the daikon radish, also known as the winter radish, which are traditionally harvested and eaten during the winter. It's also possible that Snover was made to resemble a snow-covered fir tree. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.
Name origin
Snover may be derived from snow and clover or cover – as in covered with snow. Alternatively, it could be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over." Yukikaburi's name comes the Japanese words 雪 yuki, snow, and 頭 kaburi, head. Alternatively, 蕪菁 kabu is Japanese for turnip, and 被せる kabuseru means to cover – in this case, with snow.
In other languages
- German: Shnebedeck - From Schnee (snow) and bedeckt (covered).
- French: Blizzi - From blizzard.
- Korean: 눈쓰개 Nunsseugae
- Chinese: 小雪人 Xiao Xue Ren
