Biology

Froslass is a female-only Pokémon. If you are inside your house and trapped in a blizzard, you should always be careful: when you hear a knocking at your door, always check before you answer, because it might be a wild Froslass, which can freeze you to death instantly.

Design & origin

Froslass's design is inspired by the Japanese yōkai Yuki-onna, a vengeful spirit that takes the form of a woman and traps its victims with its icy breath or within blizzards.
