Its characteristics and effects in play, with the original text when available.

HP: 100

Stage: Stage 1

Weakness: +30
Number: 12/100
Set: StormfrontSF
Illustrated by: Mitsuhiro Arita

Its Ability

Snow Veil

As long as Abomasnow is your Active Pokémon, any damage done to your Pokémon by an opponent's attack is reduced by 20 (after applying Weakness and Resistance).

Its attacks

Snow Play

Does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, excluding Grass Pokémon and Water Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Below Zero

If Abomasnow evolved from Snover during this turn, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

A strength
It has an Ability, Snow Veil. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.
Keep in mind
Retreat cost 3. Once it is out front, it stays there. Pack something that moves it another way, or you will burn whole turns discarding Energy.
Keep in mind
None of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
Keep in mind
Weakness Fire +30. Against a Fire Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 914 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
