Trivia

  • Cryogonal has the highest Special Defense of all non-legendary Ice-type Pokémon.
  • Cryogonal is the only genderless Pokémon, other than Mew, that can learn Attract. It is unknown why this is the case, given that Attract fails when used by or on a genderless Pokémon.

Origin

Cryogonal's appearance seems to be based on both snowflakes and ice crystals. The ability to trap prey in ice crystals may be a reference to Hrimthurs, Nordic giants who were made of ice, who also have this ability. Because of its back sprite, ability to learn many light-based moves, and defensive stat distribution, it may also be based on a glass mirror.

Name origin

Cryogonal is a combination of cryo (prefix for ice) and gonal (suffix related to polygons). It may also be derived from cry, as in crying.

Freegeo may be a combination of freeze or frigid and geometrical.
