07Why Collectors Want It

Collectors of the Stormfront set need this card to finish it.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Abomasnow with 100 HP; top attack around 60 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

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).

Snow Play Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20 damage

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 Cost: Water + Colorless + Colorless · 60 damage

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

Weakness: Fire +30
Retreat cost: 3

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
