==In the anime==

After class ended, Lillie and {{Ash}} traveled to Lillie's home in order to take care of the Egg. While they traveled, a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Salandit}} managed to sneak onto Lillie's limousine in an attempt to attack the Egg. Later, when Lillie was alone in her room, the Salandit revealed itself and attacked the defenseless Egg. Despite her fear of Pokémon, Lillie instinctively shielded the Egg from harm, protecting it long enough for Ash and [[Hobbes]] to send Salandit flying. After Salandit ran away, Lillie realized that she had managed to touch the Egg without any trouble, but was still unable to touch regular Pokémon.

In ''[[SM013|Racing to a Big Event!]]'', the Egg finally hatched into an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}}. In the [[SM014|next episode]], Samson Oak assigned the students to raise Snowy, and the students agreed that Lillie should keep it. Lillie {{pkmn2|caught}} Snowy despite her fear of Pokémon. On the day of its hatching, Lillie and Snowy spent much of the day bonding while walking in [[Hau'oli City]]. They went into a Malasada donut shop, where Lillie had Snowy try some different donuts. When they left the shop, they were challenged by {{TRT}}. Snowy defended Lillie, first using {{m|Powder Snow}} to freeze a sidewalk to slow them down, then using Powder Snow to neutralize {{TP|James|Mareanie}}'s {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. When a second Sludge Bomb blew Snowy off a rooftop, Lillie jumped off after it and caught it. The two were saved by {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Rowlet}} with {{m|Leafage}}. Snowy then froze Team Rocket with Powder Snow, and they were taken away by {{an|Bewear}}. Lillie had no issue holding Snowy from that point on, though she was still afraid of other Pokémon.

In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', {{an|Professor Kukui}} tasked everyone with switching their partner Pokémon with somebody else and Snowy was given to Ash, whilst {{AP|Pikachu}} went to Lillie. Snowy initially had trouble getting along with Ash, even refusing to eat the {{pkmn|food}} offered to it. However, it eventually warmed up to him and agreed to do some battle training with him in order to surprise Lillie. When it came time to return the Pokémon to their proper owners, everybody was happy to learn that Lillie can now touch Pikachu after spending some time with him. As such, Ash decided to challenge Lillie to a {{pkmn|battle}}, with him using Snowy against Lillie and Pikachu, to show how much stronger Snowy had become.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Lillie used Snowy alongside {{TP|Sophocles|Togedemaru}} in a battle against [[Brock's Geodude]]. Geodude took no damage from Togedemaru's {{m|Zing Zap}} and knocked away Snowy's Powder Snow with a {{m|Gyro Ball}} [[Counter Shield]].

** {{type|Ice}} Pokémon to have been caught by a main character since {{an|Dawn}} caught her {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}}, which she caught as a {{p|Swinub}} in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'', 403 episodes earlier.

* Snowy is the first [[nickname]]d Pokémon owned by a main character to appear on a regular basis.

* Snowy is the only Pokémon that hatched from an Egg whose hatch and capture were featured in different episodes.

** Snowy is also the only Pokémon in the anime to receive a nickname before hatching.
