When summoned, it will first surround itself with a freezing whirlwind in demonstration of the Blizzard attack. It will then dash to the side in an attempt to Ice Punch an opponent. After doing this several times, it will disappear. Abomasnow has also been represented by a trophy in the 3DS/Wii U game and a Novice-rank Primary Spirit (which comes with a fire weakness) in Ultimate.
