Snover is a creature with a white upper body and brown lower body that resembles a snow-covered tree. It will be two-thirds brown if male and two-thirds white if female. It has green eyes and three points on top of its head. Its feet and green tail are stubby, and there are two green spikes that resemble pinecones on its back. Five cones form its hand: a large central cone with four smaller cones around it. Edible white berries grow along Snover's midsection.  

In [[Galar]], packs of {{p|Darumaka|Galrian Darumaka}} enjoy eating the berries produced by Snover. This result in {{p|Abomasnow}} often chasing them away in order to protect it. Snover lives on snowy peaks in warm seasons, but migrates lower as the weather cools. A curious Pokémon, it often approaches people and can be found inspecting footprints in the snow. Snover can sink its feet into the snow to absorb water, this helps cool down its body temperature.

A male Snover appeared in ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''. He wasn't feeling well and was being looked after by an {{p|Abomasnow}}. With help from {{an|Clemont}}, Snover soon recovered.

* No other Pokémon share the same type combination as Snover and its evolution {{p|Abomasnow}}.

Snover appears to have been made to resemble a snow-covered {{wp|fir|fir tree}}. Its 'hat' resembles the kanji for mountain (山) which originates from a pictogram of three mountain peaks.

Snover may be a combination of ''snow'' and ''clover'' or ''cover'' (as in covered with snow). Alternatively, it may be a shortening of the phrase "snowed over".

Yukikaburi is a combination of 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) and 頭 ''kaburi'' (head). Alternatively, it may also derive from 蕪菁 ''kabu'' ({{wp|turnip}}) or 被せる ''kabuseru'' (to cover).

|ja=ユキカブリ ''Yukikaburi''|jameaning=From 雪 ''yuki'' (snow) and 頭 ''kaburi'' (head). Alternatively, it may also derive from 蕪菁 ''kabu'' (turnip) or 被せる ''kabuseru'' (to cover).

|de=Shnebedeck|demeaning=From ''{{tt|schneebedeckt|covered in snow}}''

|zh_cmn=雪笠怪 ''Xuě Lì Guài''|zh_cmnmeaning=From {{tt|雪|snow}}, {{tt|笠|bamboo rain hat}}, and {{tt|怪|freak or monster}}.
