It is also colored with a yellow mark around its big eyes and yellow striped around its tail and back. Its feet have no toes, while its tail is designed as three palm leaves joined together.
The tail is actually a very important part of Snivy as it aids in making Snivy move faster, also using the tail we are able to detect when Snivy is sick or strong.
