==Trivia==
*Snom and their evolution, Frosmoth, are the first and so-far only /-type Pokémon.
*Snom is the only -type Pokémon that cannot learn Ice Beam or Blizzard.
*Snom has one of the lowest base stat totals of any Pokémon in existence, lower than even Magikarp, which is universally believed to be the weakest Pokémon in the franchise.
*Snom is the only non-Starter Pokémon that is still capable of evolving that made it into the Top 30 Overall category in the Pokémon of the Year Poll hosted on Pokémon Day 2020.
*Because of their unique typing, Snom and its evolution, Frosmoth, can be knocked out from full HP from entry hazards alone: Three layers of Spikes, Stealth Rock (as its type combination gives it a 4x weakness to the type), and the steel trap from G-Max Steelsurge. They are the only Pokémon to suffer from this detriment.
===Origin===
Snom is based on a grub or larvae of an insect, most specifically a jewel caterpillar. They may also be based on the Arctic Woolly Bear Moth larvae, who can withstand extremely cold temperatures. Its appetite for snow and lack of a mouth-like feature on its evolution may be based on different larvae or caterpillar species, some of which often eat large amounts of food before metamorphosing due to losing the ability to eat upon doing so. It may also reference an old method of removing clothing moth larvae from clothes, which is usually done through freezing the clothing or setting it in cold temperatures.
===Etymology===
Snom is a combination of "snow", "worm", and "nom" (a slang word meant to describe eating, as Snom has a big appetite).
