SNORUNT live in regions with heavy snowfall. In seasons without snow, such as spring and summer, this POKéMON steals away to live quietly among stalactites and stalagmites deep in caverns.

In the snow country, certain folklore says a house will prosper if a SNORUNT lives there.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it is an Ice-type, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved.
Almost always goes first. The user is protected from all attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure. If a Pokemon has No Guard, or used Lock-On or Mind Reader against the user during the previous turn, its attack has a [100 - move's normal accuracy]% chance to hit through Protect; OHKO moves do not benefit from this effect. Blizzard has a 30% to hit through this move during Hail, as does Thunder during Rain Dance.
Cancels all other weather moves. For 5 turns: Blizzard never misses and has a 30% chance to hit through Protect and Detect, each active Pokemon, even when protected by a Substitute, loses 1/16 of its max HP unless it is an Ice-type, the power of Solarbeam is halved, and the healing power of Morning Sun, Synthesis and Moonlight is halved. The effects of Hail will last for eight turns if its user is holding Icy Rock.
Has a 10% chance to freeze the target. During Hail, this move will never miss under normal circumstances and has a 30% chance to hit through a target's Protect or Detect.
As long as the user remains in battle, the target cannot switch out unless it uses Baton Pass. The target will still be trapped if the user switches out by using Baton Pass.
Damages opponents, unless they are Flying-type or have Levitate, every time they are switched in; hits through Wonder Guard. Can be used up to three times: saps 1/8 of max HP with one layer, 3/16 of max HP with two layers and 1/4 of max HP for three layers.
Usually goes first for the duration of the move. The user absorbs all damage for two turns and then, during the third turn, the user inflicts twice the absorbed damage on its target. This move ignores the target's type and even hits Ghost-type Pokemon.
As long as the user remains in battle, the target cannot switch out unless it is holding Shed Shell or uses Baton Pass or U-Turn. The target will still be trapped if the user switches out by using Baton Pass.
The target cannot choose its last move for 4-7 turns. Disable only works on one move at a time and fails if the target has not yet used a move or if its move has run out of PP. The target does nothing if it is about to use a move that becomes disabled.
The user attacks uncontrollably for five turns; this move's power doubles after each turn and also if Defense Curl was used beforehand. Its power resets after five turns have ended or if the attack misses.
Damages opponents, unless they are Flying-type or have Levitate, every time they are switched in; hits through Wonder Guard. Can be used up to three times: saps 1/8 of max HP with one layer, 3/16 of max HP with two layers and 1/4 of max HP for three layers.
This move is temporarily replaced by the target's last move; the replacement move will have 5 PP and become part of the user's moveset until the user switches out or the battle ends. Mimic copies attacks even if they miss or the user has immunity toward their type; it cannot copy itself, Struggle, Transform, Sketch, Metronome or moves that the user already knows, and it will fail if the target has yet to use a move.
The user takes one-fourth of its maximum HP to create a substitute; this move fails if the user does not have enough HP for this. Until the substitute is broken, it receives damage from all attacks made by other Pokemon and shields the user from status effects and stat modifiers caused by other Pokemon. The user is still affected by Tickle, Hail, Sandstorm and Attract from behind its Substitute. If a Substitute breaks from a hit during a multistrike move such as Fury Attack, the user takes damage from the remaining strikes.
Almost always goes first. The user is left with at least 1 HP following any attacks for one turn, but the move's success rate halves with each consecutive use of Protect, Detect or Endure.
Does nothing if the user is awake. If the user asleep, it randomly performs one of its attacks. Rest will fail if it is selected. Sleep Talk's generated attacks do not cost PP, but it cannot generate moves with 0 PP, itself, Assist, Bide, Disabled attacks, Focus Punch, Metronome, Mirror Move, Uproar, or attacks with a charge-up turn like Fly or Skull Bash. (Moves with a recharge turn like Hyper Beam can be generated.)
The user attacks uncontrollably for five turns; this move's power doubles after each turn and also if Defense Curl was used beforehand. Its power resets after five turns have ended or if the attack misses.
The target's most recent move is reduced by 4 PP; this fails if the target has not yet performed a move, if the target's last move has run out of PP, or if the target can only use Struggle.
