Snow Veil is listed as Poké-Body. 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). The attack Snow Play lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon, excluding Grass Pokémon and Water Pokémon.

Abomasnow (#460) has 15 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2025. The earliest other card is Abomasnow 19/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Abomasnow list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Stormfront set binder is where a full Stormfront set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Abomasnow can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
