Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. (This includes {{m|Hidden Power}}, if its type is Fire). As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing—however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|Intense sunlight|sunny weather}}, but contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, and {{m|Fusion Flare}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{m|Scald}} works similarly, where if a frozen Pokémon is hit by this move it will thaw, but will not thaw if attempting to use this move while frozen. {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} Ability are completely immune to being frozen by Ice-type moves; however, Ice-type Pokémon can be frozen by {{m|Tri Attack}} and {{m|Secret Power}}.
