Snowy: Difference between revisions

'''Snowy''' (Japanese: '''シロン''' ''Shiron'') is an {{alo|Vulpix}} who was raised by {{an|Lillie}} ever since it was an {{pkmn|Egg}} and is the [[starter Pokémon|only Pokémon]] that she obtained. It is often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]].

In ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]'', [[Samson Oak]] revealed two {{pkmn|Egg}}s to the students of the [[Pokémon School]]. While one Egg was received from {{an|Professor Oak|his cousin}} from the [[Kanto]] [[region]], the other was found on [[Mount Lanakila]]. He decided to give the class an assignment to raise one of the Eggs and offered to let them choose between the two. {{an|Mallow}} suggested that {{an|Lillie}} should choose one of the Eggs and raise it, as it would potentially help her get over her inability to touch Pokémon. Lillie agreed and chose the one from Mount Lanakila, as she preferred it over the other one. She eventually named the Egg Snowy, a name it would retain once it hatched.

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 ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', Snowy was used alongside Gladion's {{p|Silvally}} to battle a {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Kommo-o}} and several {{p|Jangmo-o}} and {{p|Hakamo-o}}. While Gladion fought Kommo-o, Snowy was able to fend off the Ally Pokémon with Powder Snow. It later froze the ground with Powder Snow, allowing Gladion to retrieve the [[Fairy Memory]]. This in turn allowed him to transform Silvally into a {{type|Fairy}}, enabling it to defeat Kommo-o.

In ''[[SM060|Getting a Jump on the Competition!]]'', Ash and {{ashcl}} visited Mount Lanakila, where Snowy's Egg was found. Snowy ran off after sensing an {{alo|Ninetales}} nearby, which led Lillie to meet [[Cerah]] and her Ninetales during a PokéSled Jump. After watching their display, Lillie and Snowy decided to participate in the [[Pokémon Sled Jump Games]] and learn {{m|Aurora Veil}}. After some intense training, Snowy was finally able to successfully perform Aurora Veil during the competition, resulting in a successful jump. However, despite their impressive performance, Lillie and Snowy were unable to win.

In ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', Snowy and Lillie helped a group of {{alo|Sandshrew}} defeat a {{p|Tyranitar}}, which was trying to destroy their home. After emerging victorious, {{an|Sophocles}} gave Lillie an [[Ice Stone]] found by his {{TP|Sophocles|Charjabug}}. Lillie asked Snowy if it wanted to use the stone to evolve, but Snowy got scared and refused to. As a result, Lillie decided to hold on to the stone in case Snowy ever changed its mind.

After Snowy first hatched, it was a very reserved Pokémon that didn't want to interact with anyone else but {{an|Lillie}}. When {{Ash}} tried to interact with it, it promptly {{status|freeze|froze}} him. Although it was newly hatched, it didn't hesitate to attack {{TRT}} when they chased it, and it even froze them, despite Ash preparing to fight them himself with his {{AP|Pikachu}}. By the end of ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', it warmed up to the Pokémon owned by its Trainer's friends and was willing to play with them. In ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]'', it started to be more friendly and open towards other people after it had been with Ash over the weekend. It also started to develop a fondness for walks. Snowy has been supportive of its Trainer as seen in ''[[SM048|Night of a Thousand Poses!]]'' and ''[[SM049|Mission: Total Recall!]]'', where after Lillie became scared of Pokémon again, Snowy remained near Lillie whilst keeping a distance until Lillie overcame her fear.

Snowy appears to be afraid of the change associated with [[evolution|evolving]]. In ''[[SM080|Not Caving Under Pressure!]]'', Snowy witnessed a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} evolve for the first time, reacting with a stunned silence. When Lillie asked if it would like to evolve as well, Snowy retreated from the Ice Stone and hid behind [[Mallow's Steenee]].
