Freeze-Dry is an Ice-type move with 70 power and 100% accuracy. Unique among Ice-type attacks, Freeze-Dry possesses the special ability to deal super-effective damage to Water-type Pokémon, a trait not typically associated with Ice-type moves. Additionally, it has a 10% chance of freezing the target, adding a layer of potential disruption. Introduced in Generation VI, Freeze-Dry is valued in both casual and competitive play for its strategic advantage against Water-types, which are usually resistant to Ice-type moves. This dual utility makes it a versatile option for Pokémon that can learn it, especially those looking to counter common Water-type threats.
