Refrigerate (Japanese:フリーズスキンFreeze Skin) is anAbility introduced inGeneration VI. FromGeneration VIII onward, it is thesignature Ability ofAmaura andAurorus.

Effect

In battle

Generation VI

Refrigerate causes allNormal-type moves used by the Pokémon to becomeIce-type and receive a 30%power boost.

Electrify is applied before Refrigerate, so if the Pokémon is affected by Electrify the move becomes Electric-type and does not have its power boosted by Refrigerate. The type-changing effect is applied beforeIon Deluge, so if both effects are applying, an originally Normal-type move will end up as aIce-type move (as it is no longer Normal-type when Ion Deluge would be applied).

Generation VII

Affected moves now receive a 20% power boost.

Generation VIII

	This Ability effect may be in need of research. Reason:What happens ifGigantamax Lapras with Refrigerate tries to useMax Strike? You candiscuss this on the talk page.

IfMax Strike is selected with Refrigerate, it'll turn intoMax Hailstorm when used.
