The purpose of {{{1|<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>Snorunt}}} in the games, anime, and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon—untamed creatures that characters encounter while embarking on various adventures— and tamed Pokémon creatures owned by [[Pokémon trainer]]s.<ref name=ign> [http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html ''Pokémon Ruby'' and ''Pokémon Sapphire'' Review (page 1)] ''Ign.com''.

The name, ''Snorunt'' appears to be a combination of ''snow'' and ''[[runt]]'', a term for a small animal, particularly the smallest in a litter. The Japanese name ''Yukiwarashi'' is likely a [[portmanteau]] of the Japanese words {{nihongo|''yuki''|雪}}, meaning snow, and warashi, an archaic Japanese word for child. The name ''Snorunt'' refers to both the overall species, and to individual Snorunt within the [[Pokémon (video games)|games]], [[Pokémon (anime)|anime]] and [[Pokémon Adventures|manga]] series.
==Biological Characteristics ==
Snorunt looks like it is covered by a straw hat with an orange rim and has three diamond-shaped orange markings on its back. Its hands are small and spherical, and its feet are long, and ovular. Its skin is a deep gray, and it bears a row of teeth which are arched. Its eyes are small for its body, and bright blue. Snorunt live in icy dark caves and enjoys crying out to hear its own echo. Its diet consists solely of snow and ice. Old folklore claims that a house visited by Snorunt is sure to prosper for many generations to come. It generally moves in groups of five Snorunt, and they hide away during the hot seasons of Summer and Spring. Being Ice type, Snorunt can withstand tempatures of up to negative 150 degrees.<ref>The in-game [[Pokédex]]es of the [[Pokémon (video games)|''Pokémon'' video games]] ([http://www.psypokes.com/dex/pokedex.php?id=179&view=general A copy of them from ''Psypokes.com''.]) URL Accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref> Snorunt and its evolved form, Glalie, are two of the few pure Ice type Pokémon in the first four generations, as well as the legendary Pokémon, [[Regice]], and the Eevee-branch evolution, [[Glaceon]].<ref name="icetype">[http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/ice.shtml Serebii.net Pokédex - Type Listings (Ice-type)] ''Serebii.net'' URL accessed [[February 12]], [[2007]].</ref>
==In the video games==
In ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire,]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]'', Snorunt can be caught in the bottom level of Shoal Cave in an icy area. They are hard to come by, for they are rare to encounter. In ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'', Snorunt can be snagged from Cipher Peon Exinn.<ref> [http://serebii.net/xd/pokemon.shtml Pokémon XD-Pokémon] ''Serebii.net'' URL accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref>In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']], Snorunt can be captured using the Poké Radar, an item which guarantees an encounter from a wild Pokémon, some of which can only be obtained through this method.<ref>[http://serebii.net/diamondpearl/poketore.shtml Pokémon Diamond/Pearl-Pokétore] ''Serebii.net'' URL accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref> They can be found on Routes 216 and 217 and the area surrounding Lake Acuity using the PokéRadar.
As Snorunt is an [[Pokémon types#Ice-Type|Ice-Type]], its attacks are particularly effective against [[Pokémon types#Flying-Type|Flying-]], [[Pokémon types#Ground-Type|Ground-]], [[Pokémon types#Grass-Type|Grass-]], and [[Pokémon types#Dragon-Type|Dragon-Types]], but [[Pokémon types#Fire-Type|Fire-]], [[Pokémon types#Fighting-Type|Fighting-]], [[Pokémon types#Rock-Type|Rock-]], and [[Pokémon types#Steel-Type|Steel-Types]] are particularly effective against it. Ice-Types do little damage to Snorunt, and Snorunt does little damage to other Ice-Types. All other types have no particular advantage or disadvantage over Snorunt.<ref> [http://serebii.net/games/type.shtml Serebii.net Games - Type MatchUp] ''Serebii.net''. URL accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref>
Snorunt, being a base level Pokémon, has low stats in comparison with other Pokémon,<ref name="genfour">[http://serebii.net/pokedex-dp/361.shtml Snorunt Pokédex Page; Fourth Generation Pokédex.] ''Serebii.net'' URL accessed [[December 19]], [[2006]].</ref> but Snorunt can undergo evolution, a metamorphic change within a Pokémon caused by gaining experience in battle,<ref name=dum> "[http://www.pokemonelite2000.com/dummies.html Pokemon For Dummies]" ''Pokemonelite2000.com''. URL Accessed [[May 25]], [[2006]].</ref> into Glaile at level 42. When Snorunt evolves, its stats improve. In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']], female Snorunt can evolve into a Ice/Ghost form whose name is [[Froslass]]. Only female Snorunts can use the Dawn Stone necessary to evolve into Froslass, whose appearance is based off of a [[Yuki-onna]].<ref name="genfour"> </ref>
Snorunt has two abilities. The first, Inner Focus, is found in ''[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire,]]'' ''[[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald,]]'' ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, and Pearl]]''. The ability prevents Snorunt from flinching, which causes the victim of the flinch to not attack. The second, Icy Body, which is only usable in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']], restores health when it is hailing during the battle instead of doing damage.<ref name="genfour"> </ref>
== In the anime ==
[[Image:Snorunt.png|left|thumb|Ash's Snorunt with Max and Ralts]]
In the [[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon anime]], Snorunt is [[Ash Ketchum]]'s fifth Pokémon from the [[Hoenn]] region. It has a powerful Ice Beam, though this is hindered by Snorunt's bad aim. Because of this, Ash constantly trains it to try and improve its use of the technique. Snorunt first appears in Pokémon: Advanced Battle Episode, "Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt".<ref> [http://serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/385.shtml Epidsode 385: Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt episode sypnosis] ''Serebii.net.'' URL accessed [[December 18]], [[2006]].</ref> On their way to Serrosey Town and the ferry to [[List of Hoenn locations#Sootopolis City|Sootopolis City]], Ash and friends stop at a [[Pokémon Center]] to stay warm as a [[blizzard]] approaches. At the Center, a mischievous Snorunt steals all seven of Ash's badges. Ash chases it into the blizzard, and the two become trapped in an avalanche, finding shelter in a small cave. Snorunt produces an apple for Ash to eat, then steals his hat and runs back into the blizzard. However, Snorunt takes the hat back to Ash's friends to let them know he is safe. When Ash returns, Snorunt has grown fond of him and wants to battle. When Ash defeats Snorunt, he catches it. Later, when Ash and his friends show Snorunt to their other Pokémon, Ash's [[Corphish]] gets frozen by Snorunt's Ice Beam. In the episode "Rhapsody in Drew", Snorunt evolves into [[Glalie]] while fighting [[Team Rocket (anime)|Team Rocket]], after being hit by a Psybeam from Jessie's Dustox.<ref>[http://serebii.net/anime/epiguide/houen/400.shtml Episode 400: Rhapsody in Drew episode sypnosis] ''Serebii.net.'' URL accessed [[December 18]], [[2006]].</ref>

==In the Pokémon TCG==
[[Image:SnoruntTGCrubysapphire.jpg|thumb|right|Snorunt in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' (EX Dragon).]]
The ''[[Pokémon (card game)|Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'' is a [[collectible card game]] similar in goal to a Pokémon battle in the video game series; players must use cards (with individual strengths and weaknesses) in an attempt to defeat their opponent by "knocking out" all of his or her cards.<ref> [http://www.pokemon-tcg.com/p_strategy/rulebooks/book_68.jsp#433 ''Pokémon Trading Card Game'' "How to play" guide] ''Pokemon-tcg.com''. URL Accessed [[July 3]], [[2006]].</ref> The game was first published in North America by [[Wizards of the Coast]] in 1999, until [[The Pokémon Company|Nintendo USA]] started publishing the series in 2003.<ref> [http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=company/pr/20030312b ''Pokemon Trading Card Game'' News; "Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire TCG Releases"] ''Wizards.com''. URL Accessed [[July 3]], [[2006]].</ref>
Snorunt has appeared in the Trading Card game four times, once in EX Dragon, once in EX Hidden Legends, once in EX Emerald, and once in EX Power Keepers, each time as a basic Water type. All Snorunt cards are typical, Basic Level Pokémon cards, used to play stronger cards, like [[Glalie]]. While Snorunt is common three of the four times it appears in the TGC, in EX Hidden Legends, EX Emerald, and EX Power Keepers, it appears as uncommon in EX Dragon. All Snorunt cards have a weakness to Metal, and only require one energy to retreat.<ref> [http://www.psypokes.com/dex/psydex/361/deckdex List of Snorunt Appearances in the ''Pokémon Trading Card Game''] ''Psypokes.com''.
