Stats & Training
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.
When it finds humans or Pokémon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations.
The soul of a woman lost on a snowy mountain possessed an icicle, becoming this Pokémon. The food it most relishes is the souls of men.

Froslass Guide
For Sun & Moon, we rate Froslass B-Tier: a solid option in Sun & Moon for the right team. At 480 BST, it fits the hazard setter role. Spikes with Focus Sash is the standard set.
In Sun & Moon, 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 Sun & Moon, the core moveset is Spikes, Taunt, Destinybond, and Icywind. Spikes leads at 25% usage. This set covers the hazard setter role with a mix of damage and utility.
