Ice Ball (Japanese: アイスボール Ice Ball) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation III. It is the signature move of the Spheal evolution family.

Effect

Ice Ball does damage over five turns, increasing in power for each consecutive hit. The power will reset after five turns or if Ice Ball is interrupted. If the Pokémon uses Defense Curl any time before Ice Ball, Ice Ball's power is doubled as long as the Pokémon remains in battle.
