Baxcalibur brings raw power that's hard to match. Dragon/Ice typing and sits at a decent but contested Speed tier — it checks a lot of boxes at once. 5 type weaknesses to keep in mind. Known as the Ice Dragon Pokemon.
The stat line revolves around Attack. Percentage recovery gets extra mileage here. HP backs it up, though Sp. Atk doesn't pull its weight. Worth 3 Attack EVs on a slow 1.25M XP grind to max out.
This Pokémon blasts cryogenic air out from its mouth. This air can instantly freeze even liquid-hot lava.
It launches itself into battle by flipping upside down and spewing frigid air from its mouth. It finishes opponents off with its dorsal blade.

Most of Baxcalibur's flexibility comes from TMs. Same-type output runs through Draco Meteor and Outrage, but Normal and Dark and the rest of the TM pool push it from predictable to genuinely threatening.

The level-up pool tells the story here. Baxcalibur learns Take Down and Ice Beam naturally, plus enough variety that TMs feel like bonuses. Coverage across 8 types extends the reach beyond that.
Baxcalibur works as a wallbreaker with 600 BST behind it. B-Tier on our list — a solid choice for the right team. That 145 base Attack does the heavy lifting.
Thermal Exchange is the go-to ability for Baxcalibur. It raises Attack when hit by a Fire-type move. Its hidden ability Ice Body can work in specific setups.
Baxcalibur is leaning toward the physical side (base 145 Attack). Tanky enough to absorb a few hits, too. But the speed tells the real story — base 87 Speed is workable — faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
Baxcalibur can be found in Legends: Z-A and Scarlet & Violet.
