Biology

When its body temperature goes up, it turns into steam and vanishes. When its temperature lowers, it returns to ice. They are born in snow clouds and they use chains made of ice crystals to capture prey at -148 °F.

It then takes its victims away to somewhere unknown. Cryogonal appear during cold seasons. It is said that people and Pokémon who die on snowy mountains are reborn into these Pokémon.

It is almost never seen during the summer. Cryogonal uses its chains of ice to constrict its opponents and then flash-freezes them where they stand.
