The most important piece of advice for Snover trainers is to always carry a thick umbrella or wear a helmet when Snover is not within its pokeball. Like their evolved form of Abomasnow, these pokemon are walking hailstorms; unlike Abomasnow, they are not the exclusive province of experienced trainers with dedicated ice-type teams. Children in Snowpoint City and other cold, high-precipitation regions frequently capture Snover and travel with them, but take some time to notice that the severe hailstorms which follow them around, even in warmer towns, are not meteorological in origin. Trainers from elsewhere are also drawn to their cute appearance and unique abilities.
Snover are considered a nuisance by many people and banned within certain towns, but outside of a small radius are not particularly dangerous; indeed, the biggest danger they pose is to their trainers themselves. A trainer is always in closer proximity to their own pokemon than their opponent's, and while most Snover hail is more irritating than dangerous, heavy hailstones have been known to injure or even kill trainers when landing on their heads. To prevent this, some trainers go to the opposite extreme, leaving their Snover in a pokeball at all times except in battle. Others walk at long distances behind their Snover to take only a small piece of the blizzard, and see their pokemon only through the snow. But these techniques leave trainers unable to create the strong bonds with their pokemon which are so often necessary for victory.
Snover are a difficult pokemon to train, and frequently require a trainer to adjust their whole team, even before evolution, into one which takes advantage of the cold. Expert Snover and Abomasnow trainers relish the snowstorms their pokemon bring, even while enduring them, for they must be even more frustrating to enemy pokemon!
