If a frozen Pokémon uses a move with 0 {{PP}} on the same turn that it thaws out, {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Struggle bypassing|the PP of the move will roll over to 63 PP}}, and full [[PP Up]]s will be applied to it. | ||

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. | A frozen Pokémon has a 10% chance of being thawed out on each of its turns.

Thawing is now triggered by damaging Fire-type moves (except Fire-type {{m|Hidden Power}}) instead of moves that inflict burn. Because of this, Tri Attack can no longer thaw a frozen Pokémon. Freezing also disables the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}}. | |||
The thaw chance is now 20% and Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost. An animation also shows up whenever a Pokémon is unable to move due to being frozen (in contrast to previous generations, in which it only showed up when freeze was inflicted). | |||
