Icy Rock is a held item in the Pokémon series that extends the duration of the move Hail from the standard 5 turns to 8 turns. This is particularly useful for teams that revolve around the use of Hail, such as those employing the strategies of a Hail team in double battles or when aiming to take advantage of specific abilities and moves that interact with Hail.
Effects: - When a Pokémon holding an Icy Rock uses the move Hail, the hailstorm will last for 8 turns instead of the usual 5 turns. - This prolonged hail duration can be crucial for maximizing the benefits of the Snow Warning ability, which automatically sets Hail when the Pokémon enters the battlefield. - The extended duration of Hail can support Pokémon with the Ice Body ability, which heals a portion of their HP each turn during Hail. - Additionally, the ability Slush Rush doubles the speed of the Pokémon during Hail, making the prolonged duration useful for speed control
