==Prevention and curing==
==Prevention and curing==
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]], [[Casteliacone]], 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 while it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a 1/3 chance of being cured every turn.

Damaging {{type2|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. (This includes {{m|Hidden Power}}, if its type is fire). 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|Intense sunlight|sunny weather}}; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.
