Effects
Frost Breath deals damage and always results in a critical hit, increasing its power to 90.
Pokémon with the abilities Battle Armor or Shell Armor, or those under the effect of Lucky Chant are immune to critical hits so Frost Breath will hit them with base power 60.
Changes
- In Generation 5, Frost Breath has 40 base power.
- In Generation 5, critical hits increase power by 2× rather than 1.5× so the effective power of Frost Breath is 80 with the critical hit.
Z-Move effects
When a Pokémon is holding Icium Z and uses its Z-Power, Frost Breath turns into Subzero Slammer and has base power 120.
