= | In [[Generation I]], Ice-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} cannot get {{status|frozen}} by Ice-type [[move]]s, which are the only moves that can freeze their targets. In [[Generation II]], Ice-type Pokémon cannot get frozen by Ice-type moves, but they can get frozen by the {{type|Normal}} move {{m|Tri Attack}}. Starting in [[Generation III]], Ice-type Pokémon cannot get frozen at all. | ||
Ice-type Pokémon are also immune to {{weather|hail}} and, as of [[Generation VII]], the move {{m|Sheer Cold}}. From Generation VII onwards, Sheer Cold also has increased {{stat|accuracy}} when used by an Ice-type Pokémon. | |||
As of [[Generation IX]], the {{stat|Defense}} of Ice-type Pokémon is increased by 50% during [[snow]]. | |||
