Stats & Training
The stat budget goes to damage. Speed and Attack carry the offense, HP doesn't even come close. A Snow Land Pokemon on a medium-fast 1M XP curve, worth 2 Speed EVs per KO.
When it finds humans or Pokémon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations.
It freezes prey by blowing its −58 degree Fahrenheit breath. It is said to then secretly display its prey.

How to Get Froslass in Legends: Z-A
Froslass isn't available in the wild in Legends: Z-A. Start by transferring Snorunt from Ruby, Emerald, or Sword. The evolution path from Snorunt to Froslass is covered in the steps below.
Froslass Guide
For Legends: Z-A, we rate Froslass B-Tier: a solid option in Legends: Z-A for the right team. At 480 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Spikes with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Legends: Z-A, Froslass's biggest threats include Blaziken (Fire), Rhyperior (Rock), and Gengar (Ghost), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Dark and Steel-type attackers are also a problem. With 5 weakness types, most competitive teams carry at least one counter. Froslass's base 110 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
Snow Cloak is the go-to ability for Froslass. It increases evasion to 1.25× during hail. Its hidden ability Cursed Body can work in specific setups.
Base 110 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. On offense, Froslass is a special attacker with base 80 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a hazard setter.
In Legends: Z-A, the best way to handle Froslass: Super-effective STAB from faster Pokemon is the simplest answer. Fire, Rock, and Ghost-type attackers hit hardest.
Game Availability
Obtainable through an item-based evolution, Froslass appears in 14 titles across 7 generations since Diamond & Pearl. The evolution method adds a barrier that wild-catchable Pokemon don't have.
