Nice Pryce, Baby! (Japanese: チョウジジム!こおりのたたかい! Chōji Gym! Ice Battle!) is the 238th episode of the Pokémon anime. It was first broadcast in Japan on February 28, 2002 and in the United States on March 8, 2003.
Synopsis
Template:Incomplete synopsis Having earned Pryce’s respect and permission to face the trainer in a gym battle, Ash makes the unlikely choice of sending out Cyndaquil, a Fire-type Pokémon, to face his opponent on an Ice battlefield. Fortunately, Ash’s strategy pans out as he leads the Gym Leader to lower his defenses, allowing Ash to take the first victory in a two-on-two match. Next, Pryce sends out his trusty Piloswine, which immediately unleashes a Blizzard attack that completely alters the battlefield, allowing it to make quick work of Ash’s defending Pokémon. With one victory each, the round enters sudden death with each trainer playing his oldest, most reliable Pokémon. A seasoned duo, Ash and Pikachu may match the teamwork of the Pryce and his Piloswine...

Trivia
- The dub title is a reference to Ice Ice Baby, a well known song performed by Vanilla Ice.
- Pikachu's Electric attack affects Pryce's Piloswine, although it should not, as Piloswine is a Template:Type2. This is an example of anime physics.
- Music from Pikachu's Rescue Mission is used in this episode.
Errors
- When they first entered the gym, Brock says that it's made entirely of solid ice, but there is clearly a ring of water in the center of the arena.
- Misty says this will be a whole new experience for Ash battling on an ice field. This is not true as Ash battled on an ice field at the Indigo Plateau.
