Editor's notes

Notable Pokémon that can learn it include Mamoswine, Beartic, Frosmoth and Cetitan. These are the Pokémon that get the most out of Powder Snow.

In raids it puts out 6.0 DPS and 15 energy/sec, so it charges your charged move quickly.

What these stats mean

Power, energy, duration, DPS and the PvP numbers

Power: Base damage each use deals before type and stat multipliers.
Energy: Energy generated per use — it fuels your charged move.
Duration: Animation time. You cannot dodge or attack during it.
DPS: Damage per second — power × 1000 / duration.
PvP stats: GO Battle League runs on 0.5s turns with its own power and energy values, so they differ from the raid numbers.
