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.

===Generation II===
===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 [[Generation II]] only, {{m|Tri Attack}} has a 1/3 chance of thawing a frozen target.

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.

===Generation III===
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 Pokémon, 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}}.

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:
