Freeze-Dry (Japanese: フリーズドライ Freeze-Dry) is a damage-dealing Ice-type move introduced in Generation VI.

Effect

Freeze-Dry deals damage and has a 10% chance to freeze the foe. It does super effective damage against Water-type Pokémon.

If this move is changed by Electrify, the Electric typing does not stack with its added ability; a Water-type Pokémon hit by the move will still only receive x2 damage.
