Froslass Black 2 & White 2 Guide
For Black 2 & White 2, we rate Froslass C-Tier: a niche pick in Black 2 & White 2's meta. At 480 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Ice Beam with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Black 2 & White 2, 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.
For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Ice Beam, Spikes, Destinybond, and Taunt. Ice Beam leads at 0% usage. This set covers the hazard setter role with a mix of damage and utility.
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.
