It blasts enemies with cold air reaching −148 degrees Fahrenheit, freezing them solid. But it spares their lives afterward—it’s a kind Pokémon.
Shield
By drinking pure water, it grows its icy body. This Pokémon can be hard to find on days with warm, sunny weather.
Sword
This hearty Pokémon survived the Ice Age. It’s incredibly popular in very hot regions.
Ultra Moon
It sprays its enemies with grains of ice to freeze them. Most Vanillish in Alola are smaller than average.
Ultra Sun
This Pokémon has existed since the Ice Age. It controls particles of ice, freezes its opponents, and then shatters them with a headbutt.
Moon
Hot days cause its body to melt. It can be restored by refreezing it, but the process leaves its body slightly warped.
Sun
They cool down the surrounding air and create ice particles, which they use to freeze their foes.
Black 2 · White 2 · X · Omega Ruby
It conceals itself from enemy eyes by creating many small ice particles and hiding among them.
