The freeze condition (FRZ) causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status. From [[Generation II]] onward, 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|sunny}} weather; contrary to popular belief, sunny weather does not cause a quicker thawing.

{{type|Ice}} Pokémon cannot be frozen by Ice-type moves; however, they can be frozen by Tri Attack and Secret Power. A frozen Pokémon can still use the moves {{m|Fusion Flare}}, {{m|Flame Wheel}}, {{m|Sacred Fire}}, {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Scald}} while frozen; these moves will thaw the user, thaw the opponent if possible, and deal damage to the opponent. All {{DL|Freeze (status ailment)|Moves|moves which cause freezing}} are Ice type except Tri Attack (Generation II onwards) and Secret Power (when used in snow or ice; [[Generation IV]] only). It is also the only non-volatile status which has no move that causes it 100% of the time. The only move to provide more than a 10% chance of freezing is {{m|Secret Power}} when used on snow or ice, which provides a 30% chance. In Generation V, Pokémon glow blue and stop moving when afflicted with freeze.
