Cryogonal Weakness
Cryogonal's Ice typing leaves it vulnerable to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Levitate grants an additional Ground immunity, reshaping the matchup chart. Cryogonal's special bulk (base 135 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.

Cryogonal Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Don't let Cryogonal's 515 base stat total fool you. Levitate is what makes it tick. It punches way above its weight class. We rate it B-Tier as a support. Rapid Spin with Leftovers is the standard set.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Run Levitate on Cryogonal. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Cryogonal fills the support role. It's a mixed attacker with base 50 Attack and 95 Sp. Atk. Base 105 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, run Rapid Spin, Freezedry, Recover, and Toxic on Cryogonal. Rapid Spin is the most common pick at 0% usage. This set covers the support role with a mix of damage and utility.
Game Availability
Introduced in Black & White, Cryogonal has appeared in 9 games across 6 generations. Later debuts mean fewer total appearances, but it's been a consistent presence since its introduction.
