CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Snom shoots frozen thread to hang from a branch. It sleeps in this position like an icicle. On the ground, it eats snow accumulating around it. The more it swallows, the larger its back spikes grow. The Pokédex therefore connects sleep and growth with a cold environment. Ice lets it hang through the night, while snow becomes a resource that directly changes its body.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Snom's thread is frozen: Pokémon Sword notes that it uses it to sleep hanging from a branch, imitating an icicle. Pokémon Shield connects the size of its back spikes with the amount of snow it has eaten.
