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.

Moves
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. Speed tells the real story. Base 87 Speed is workable. Faster than some, slower than many. Fits the wallbreaker role.
The core moveset is Ice Shard, Glaiverush, Icicle Spear, and Dragon Dance. Ice Shard leads at 14% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.
Since Scarlet & Violet, Baxcalibur has been obtainable in 2 games. A Generation 9 debut means a shorter history, but Baxcalibur has appeared steadily across every generation since.
