Snowy mountains are this Pokémon’s habitat. During an ancient ice age, they moved to southern areas.
Sun Hot days cause its body to melt. It can be restored by refreezing it, but the process leaves its body slightly warped.
Moon This Pokémon has existed since the Ice Age. It controls particles of ice, freezes its opponents, and then shatters them with a headbutt.
Ultra Sun It sprays its enemies with grains of ice to freeze them. Most Vanillish in Alola are smaller than average.
Ultra Moon This hearty Pokémon survived the Ice Age. It’s incredibly popular in very hot regions.
Sword By drinking pure water, it grows its icy body. This Pokémon can be hard to find on days with warm, sunny weather.
Shield It blasts enemies with cold air reaching −148 degrees Fahrenheit, freezing them solid. But it spares their lives afterward—it’s a kind Pokémon.
