Ice-Ball Move Detail

Summary

Ice Ball is an Ice-type move that starts with 30 power and 90% accuracy. It has a unique mechanic where its power doubles with each consecutive hit if it strikes successfully for up to five turns, reaching a maximum of 480 power on the fifth turn. Once initiated, the user continues to use Ice Ball for 2 to 5 turns, making it risky yet potentially rewarding. The move is similar to Rollout but with an Ice-type classification. Ice Ball cannot be selected during the ongoing streak of attacks, and if the chain is broken due to a miss or the user becoming incapacitated, the power reset to 30. It is noteworthy for being a move exclusive to a select few Pokémon, often seen in more strategic scenarios due to the requirement for multiple turn commitment.
