The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''こおり''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move. It is the only [[status condition]] that does not have a move that will always cause it, and because of this, it is arguably the most uncommon. | The '''freeze''' condition (FRZ) (Japanese: '''こおり''' ''Ice'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move.

Damaging {{type|Fire}} moves used on a frozen Pokémon will remove the freeze status (including {{m|Hidden Power}}, {{m|Weather Ball}}, {{m|Natural Gift}}, {{m|Judgment}}, and {{m|Techno Blast}} if the move's type is Fire).
