A frozen Pokémon has a 10% chance of being thawed out | A frozen Pokémon has a 10% chance of being thawed out on each of its turns. On the turn that a Pokémon defrosts, it cannot attack until the next turn, similar to {{status|Sleep}} in Generation I. In addition, {{cat|Moves that thaw out the user|some moves}} can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process). Pokémon can't be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but harsh sunlight does not affect when a Pokémon that is already frozen thaws. | ||

In all generations except [[Generation I|the first]], freeze has a {{tt|10%|in Generation II}}/{{tt|20%|Generation III onward}} 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. Pokémon cannot be frozen in [[Harsh sunlight|sunny weather]], but contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing. | |||
