'''Ice Ball''' (Japanese: '''アイスボール''' ''Ice Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ice}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Spheal}}'s [[evolution family|evolutionary line]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.


==Effect==
==Effect==
Ice Ball does damage over five turns, increasing in power for each consecutive hit. The power will reset after five turns or if Ice Ball is interrupted. If the Pokémon uses {{m|Defense Curl}} any time before Ice Ball, Ice Ball's power is doubled as long as the Pokémon remains in battle.
===Generations III to VII===
Ice Ball inflicts damage over five turns, doubling in power for each consecutive hit; the power will reset after five turns or if Ice Ball is interrupted. It is a {{cat|Consecutively executed moves|consecutively executed move}}. Ice Ball's power is doubled in addition if the user had previously used {{m|Defense Curl}}. Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are immune to Ice Ball.
 
Hitting a {{p|Mimikyu}} in Disguised Form will produce the [[Rollout storage glitch]].
 
Ice Ball is also part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Defense Curl}} was used in the prior turn.
 
===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
Ice Ball cannot be selected in a battle.
 
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Ice Ball cannot be selected in a battle.
 
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Ice Ball's base power was increased to 40. It inflicts damage and causes the user to become fixated on using the move.

====By [[Level|leveling up]]====
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
{{Learnlist|Ice}}
Ice Ball deals damage, hitting the target up to 5 times per use. The move will end early as soon as a single hit misses. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] series, Ice Ball's damage is multiplied by 1.5×, 2×, 2.5×, and finally 3× for each successive hit. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the damage increases only by 0.1× for each successive hit. Ice Ball's base critical hit rate is lower than normal (2% in the Rescue Team, Explorers, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series).

====By {{pkmn|breeding}}====
From {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} onward, Ice Ball no longer increases in power for each successive hit, but will double in power the first time it is used successfully if {{m|Defense Curl}} had been used by the user on the same floor.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* Though rarely encountered under normal circumstances, this move has the distinction of being capable of attaining the highest base power; if the attacking Pokémon has used Defense Curl and Ice Ball hits for a fifth consecutive time, the move will have a base power of 960.
* Excluding [[signature move]]s and [[Z-Move]]s, Ice Ball is the only Ice-type move to {{DL|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Unusable moves|not be usable}} in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
