Stats & Training
Frigibax's spread isn't flashy. Attack leads, Sp. Atk trails, 0 stats clear the bar. Tough to catch and worth 1 Attack EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Frigibax absorbs heat through its dorsal fin and converts the heat into ice energy. The higher the temperature, the more energy Frigibax stores.
This Pokémon lives in forests and craggy areas. Using the power of its dorsal fin, it cools the inside of its nest like a refrigerator.
Frigibax Weakness
Frigibax is weak to Fighting, Rock, Dragon, Steel, and Fairy. That's a lot of weak spots to cover so team support is important.
