Gamefreak introduces a guaranteed freezing move with 100% accuracy

>>32439324
Make it so it last between 2-7 turns so theres incentive to use it but also so it doesn't last forever. Plus stuff like EnTeixeira will see more usage and flame body mons and such too, lots of things win as long as the distribution isn't ass (going both ways).

???

I was thinking that pretty much all fully evolved Ice Types would get it.

I think it would be balanced to make the move take two turns. So you can use a power herb to use it once but after that it becomes pretty useless.

>Thinking GF would EVER introduce a good ice type move without giving it to every single water type

Gamefreak changes Freeze to be the a burn that lowers Special Attack.

What happens?

>Lowering their special attack matters for some reason

>>32439324
I think they should act an increased chance to freeze the Water type pokémon in general. Should be a good thing.

>>32440111
could just change it to frostbite
freeze as a mechanic in general makes no sense

>it's sleep but 100% RNG bullshit
woah thanks gameshit

>Tfw Freeze becomes a status condition that lowers special attack by 50% and takes 1/16th of the afflicted Pokémon's health

Anyway I meant Entei.

>How does this affect the meta?
A 100% freeze move would be instantly banned if anything remotely decent (even Avalugg) learned it

For a 75% freeze it's possible they could bring back the gen 1 freeze clause but I could still see it being banned.
Freeze is a ridiculous status only held back by the fact that there's no way to reliably inflict it.

>>32440276
Maybe if they made it an alteration of Sleep Clause, where you can only have one pokemon frozen or asleep at a time.
To balance, maybe freeze can't happen in sun or to fire types?

>>32440338
This. Fire-types should obviously be immune to the freeze status
