The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''{{tt|凍|こお}}り''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status condition]] that does not have a move that will always cause it, and because of this, it is arguably the most uncommon.
The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''{{tt|凍|こお}}り''' ''Ice''), also called '''ice''' in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status condition]] that does not have a [[move]] that will always cause it or an [[Ability]] that can cause it, and because of this, it is arguably the most uncommon.


It is associated with the {{t|Ice}} type, as the majority of moves that can freeze are of this type. {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are usually immune to being frozen, except from {{m|Tri Attack}} in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation V]], Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when frozen.

===Generation I===
===Generation I===
Once frozen, a Pokémon can't be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an {{DL|Status condition healing item|Ice Heal}}, being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move, or the opponent using the move {{m|Haze}}. 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 {{DL|Vitamin|PP Up}}s will be applied to it.
Once frozen, a Pokémon cannot be thawed out in battle other than via the use of items such as an [[Ice Heal]], being hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move that can inflict {{status|burn}} (i.e. any Fire-type move except {{m|Fire Spin}}), or the opponent using the move {{m|Haze}}. 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.


===Generation II onwards===
===Generation II===
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 cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but harsh sunlight does not affect when a Pokémon that is already frozen thaws.
A frozen Pokémon has a 10% chance of being thawed out each time it attempts to move. On the turn that a Pokémon defrosts, it cannot attack until the next turn, similar to {{status|sleep}} in Generation I.


===Generation III onwards===
In [[Generation II]] only, {{m|Tri Attack}} has a 1/3 chance of thawing a frozen target.
Same as Generation II, but the thaw chance is now 20% and Pokémon can attack on the turn that they defrost. An animation also shows up on every turn the Pokémon is frozen (in contrast to previous generations, where one showed up only when freeze was inflicted).


Freezing also disables the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.
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 cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but harsh sunlight does not affect when an already-frozen Pokémon thaws.


===Generation IV onwards===
===Generation III===
Same as Generation III. A frozen {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.
Same as Generation II, but 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).
 
Now all damaging Fire-type moves can thaw a frozen target, regardless of whether or not they have a chance to burn; however, Fire-type {{m|Hidden Power}} cannot thaw a frozen target. Tri Attack can no longer thaw a frozen Pokémon. Freezing also disables the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}}.
 
===Generation IV===
Fire-type Hidden Power can now thaw a frozen target.
 
A frozen {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}} will revert to its Land Forme.


===Generation V===
===Generation V===
Pokémon glow blue and have their animation stopped when inflicted with freeze. It no longer stops {{a|Flash Fire}} from working.

Unlike other major status conditions, the freeze status can only be caused by Pokémon moves (rather than by Abilities or items), with those moves rarely causing it. Currently no moves have freeze as a primary effect. The following are the moves that can cause the freeze status:

==Curing==
==Curing==
In all generations except [[Generation I]], freeze has a chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon's turn; it has a 10% chance in Generation II, and 20% chance in all subsequent generations. Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

Consequently, the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing. Pokémon cannot be frozen in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}, but harsh sunlight has no effect on Pokémon that are already frozen.


Being frozen can be cured with the use of an {{DL|Status condition healing item|Ice Heal}}, a [[Pumkin Berry]] ([[Generation III]] only) and [[Aspear Berry]] ({{DL|Berry (Generation II)|Burnt Berry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status condition]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status condition healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Rage Candy Bar}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Casteliacone}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lumiose Galette}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Shalour Sable}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Big Malasada}}, {{DL|Status condition healing item|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]] ({{DL|Berry (Generation II)|Miracle Berry}} in Generation II), and [[Sacred Ash]].

If a frozen Pokémon is hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move and takes damage (including {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Judgment}}, and {{m|Techno Blast}} if the move's type is Fire), it will be immediately thawed. However, from [[Generation V]] onward, Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}} will not be thawed out by Fire-type moves, since they will not be damaged by them (prior to Generation V, Flash Fire cannot be activated while the Pokémon is frozen). Starting in Generation VI, if a frozen Pokémon is hit by {{m|Scald}} or {{m|Steam Eruption}} and takes damage, it will be immediately thawed; since Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Water Absorb}}, {{a|Dry Skin}}, or {{a|Storm Drain}} do not take damage from Scald or Steam Eruption, they cannot be thawed by them.
In Generation I and II, if a frozen Pokémon is hit by a damaging Fire-type move that can inflict {{status|burn}} (i.e. every Fire-type move except {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}), it will be thawed; in Generation II, if a frozen Pokémon is hit by {{m|Tri Attack}}, it has a 1/3 chance of being thawed.


A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Scald}}, and {{m|Steam Eruption}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, then execute normally (the user is thawed regardless of if the move is used successfully).
From Generation III onward, if a frozen Pokémon is successfully hit by a damaging {{type|Fire}} move, it will be immediately thawed; {{cat|moves that change type}} such as {{m|Weather Ball}} can thaw a frozen target if they are Fire-type, except {{m|Hidden Power}} in Generation III. From [[Generation V]] onward, Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Flash Fire}} will not be thawed by Fire-type moves, since they will not be damaged by them (prior to Generation V, Flash Fire cannot be activated while the Pokémon is frozen).

A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Scald}}, {{m|Steam Eruption}}, and {{m|Burn Up}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, then execute normally. They will thaw out the user even if they are {{cat|Protection moves|blocked}}, miss, deal no damage due an Ability like {{a|Flash Fire}}, or are prevented from being executed by {{m|Powder}}, [[Rain|heavy rain]] or [[Harsh sunlight|extremely harsh sunlight]]; however, they cannot thaw out the user if they would fail (such as a non-Fire-type Pokémon using Burn Up).


The moves {{m|Heal Bell}} (unless the Pokémon has Soundproof as their Ability in Generation III and IV) and {{m|Aromatherapy}} remove the freeze condition from all Pokémon in the user's party. In Generation I only, using {{m|Haze}} cures the opponent from the freeze condition.

Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, those with the {{a|Hydration}} Ability will be cured while it is {{weather|rain}}ing. Pokémon with {{a|Shed Skin}} have a 30% chance of being cured every turn, and Pokémon with {{a|Healer}} have a 30% chance of curing their allies.

==Prevention==
==Prevention==
{{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen except by {{m|Tri Attack}} in Generation II. However, if a Pokémon's Ice type is changed through a {{cat|Moves that change a Pokémon's type|type-changing move}} like {{m|Soak}}, it is then frozen and switched out (resetting to the Ice type), the freeze status will remain.
{{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot become frozen, except in [[Generation II]] by {{m|Tri Attack}}. However, if a Pokémon is frozen while not Ice-type (e.g. due to a {{cat|Moves that change a Pokémon's type|type-changing move}} like {{m|Soak}}), it remains frozen even if it becomes Ice-type later (e.g. due to switching out and in again after its type is changed).


Pokémon with the {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Comatose}} Abilities cannot be frozen. Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Leaf Guard}} will be protected from status conditions in {{weather|harsh sunlight}}.
Pokémon with the {{a|Magma Armor}} or {{a|Comatose}} Abilities cannot be frozen.


{{m|Safeguard}} and {{m|Misty Terrain}} (for grounded Pokémon) prevent any status conditions for five turns.
