Vanilluxe (Japanese: バイバニラ Baivanilla) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Vanillish starting at level 47. It is the final form of Vanillite.

Biology

Vanilluxe with and without its snow

Vanilluxe is the result of two Vanillish stuck together after a daylight melting and nighttime freezing process. It is a two-headed Pokémon covered in a swirled, white substance that resembles ice cream. Each head has two light purple eyes and a slightly darker purple mouth. There are light blue ice crystals to the side of each eyes and two under each mouth. It has two stubby arms and three spikes under its body, all of which resemble icicles. The middle spike under its body is the largest, and there is a hollow, straw-like structure on top of the left head. On the back of its two heads there are many small ice crystals.

Vanilluxe ingests large quantities of water, which it uses to create internal snow clouds. If it loses a head, it can still live problem-free. When its two heads are in agreement or simultaneously angered, it can expel powerful blizzards from its two mouths. It can create snow anywhere, which makes it popular among skiers and snowboarders.

Trivia

• According to Game Freak, Vanilluxe and its evolutionary relatives were created by James Turner.

Origin

Vanilluxe is based on an ice cream cone, with snow for scoops and icicles for the waffle cone. Specifically, its double-scoop appearance and wafer-like appendage resemble a double 99 cone. Vanilluxe has bits of ice on it that look like bits of nuts. According to James Turner, it is also based on American food mascots such as the Pillsbury Doughboy, and the Staypuft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters.

Name origin

Vanilluxe may be a combination of vanilla and deluxe.

Baivanilla may be a combination of bi- (prefix meaning two) or 倍 bai (double) and vanilla.
