Normal and Fighting moves don't affect Froslass at all — that's the advantage of Ice/Ghost typing. It clears the crowded base-100 Speed benchmark. Known as the Snow Land Pokemon. Flexible enough to run physical or special sets.
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.
A Pokémon inhabited by the soul of a woman who died bearing a grudge in the snowy mountains. Legends of Froslass placing deathly curses on misbehaving men send shivers down my spine.
Froslass Weakness
AvgType-wise, Froslass takes extra damage from Fire, Rock, Ghost, Dark, and Steel. Normal and Fighting moves do nothing thanks to a full immunity.
Froslass is one of 2 ways Snorunt's chain can end. This one takes the item path, while the siblings go different directions. Breed through Snorunt to get eggs.

How to Evolve
Breed with Froslass to get Snorunt eggs using 18 partners from the Fairy and Mineral egg groups.
The Sash lets Froslass ignore defensive shortcomings for one turn. Use that turn to deal early damage, and Snowcloak squeezes extra value from the position. Flexible EVs EVs push damage output.

We rate Froslass C-Tier — a situational pick that fills a niche. At 480 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Base 110 Speed stands out.
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 leaning toward the physical side (base 80 Attack). Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a hazard setter.
