Talk:Freeze (status condition)
Is it true that Tri attack can freeze ice-type Pokémon? I have been using tri attack with my Serene Grace Togekiss on 200 ice-type Pokémon and I only caused them burns and paralysis. Unless I have been really unlucky I don't think Ice-type Pokémon can be frozen. Could anyone confirm this please? Thanks in advance. --Aqwertyuiop28 (talk) 09:18, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
Images
It would appear that Gen I and Gen II images are not actually of the FRZ status, but rather ice attacks. Perhaps these should be updated to actually show the status itself.- unsigned comment from Hobbs678 (talk • contribs)
- Freeze and paralysis have animation only once (when the status is inflicted) before G3, and it's merely shaking in G1. Eridanus (talk) 13:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)
Will-O-Wisp
So I was testing something (more precisely, getting the status icons and checking wherever they differ or not between party screen and in-battle screen) when I froze my Flash Fire Chandelure in a wild double battle in Generation V. She instantly thawed out and tried to use Will-O-Wisp (but failed because the target had paralysis). It could be getting that 1 in 5 chance... but still, someone may want to double check.

Electrify on Fire Moves + Volt Absorb, etc.
I haven't bothered to test this yet, but based on what is known about the move-absorbing abilities, it can be presumed that if a Fire-type move was changed to an Electric-type move with Electrify, it would not thaw a frozen target with Motor Drive, Volt Absorb, etc. If this ends up being true, would this be worth including in this article or is it too much of an edge case?

- Fire-type moves affected by Electrify won't thaw a frozen target anyway. Unlike Scald/Steam Eruption, the type is what does the thawing, not the move. --SnorlaxMonster 17:53, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
- Right, I didn't think that part through fully. This question still ought to apply if Scald/Steam Eruption were turned into Electric-type moves, though. VioletPumpkin (talk) 17:58, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
