In addition, several moves can still be used by the frozen Pokémon while frozen (thawing it out in the process); Pokémon can't be frozen in {{weather|intense sunlight}}, but they don't thaw out faster if already frozen, contrary to popular belief. | ||

Being frozen can be cured with the use of an [[Ice Heal]] or an [[Aspear Berry]] ([[Burnt Berry]] in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items [[Full Heal]], [[Lava Cookie]], [[Full Restore]], [[Old Gateau]], [[Heal Powder]], [[Lum Berry]], [[Hiun Ice]], and [[Sacred Ash]]. {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} also removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} ability will be cured whilst it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn. | Being frozen can be cured with the use of an [[Ice Heal]] or an [[Aspear Berry]] ([[Burnt Berry]] in [[Generation II]]).

As of [[Generation II]], freeze has a random, 20% 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; however, in [[Generation I]], a frozen Pokémon never thaws without external aid. Pokémon cannot be frozen in [[weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunny weather]]; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing. | ||
A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Boiling Water}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} ability are completely immune to being frozen. | A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Boiling Water}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon and those with the {{a|Magma Armor}} ability are completely immune to being frozen. | ||
