I'm using a walrein on one of my Pokemon showdown teams and I gave it Ice body and it says that it is activated by snow and it doesn't have any moves that activates snow and it has hail, but I'm not sure if it works with hail.

Best answer

Snow replaced Hail in Gen 9. It should activate all abilities previously activated by Hail. In Gen 9 the move Hail creates Snow. The weather condition Hail no longer exists in Gen 9. And yes, Hail also activates all these abilities too. Ice body being activated by snow is just the newest description for the ability.
Bulbapedia on Snow:

Activates the following Abilities: Ice Body, Snow Cloak, and Slush Rush. Additionally, Ice Face turns Eiscue from its Noice Face form to its Ice Face form.

I just edited it to make it a little neater.
Thanks. I would like advice on how to edit my answers, like how to turn the quotes into the curly thing.
And how to make the source just say source, not the web page.
Making quotes look like that, (called blockquotes,) is easy. Just put a > sign in front of a paragraph and it will turn into a blockquote.
