Its strongest point is Defense — higher than 82% of species. On the other hand, Speed — lower than 65% of species. It does not evolve: it does not come from anything and does not change into anything. In defense it has 4 weaknesses and 2 resistances at its disposal. It cannot breed — it has no Egg Group, so you will not get it from breeding.
Base stats
Last column: what percentage of 1084 species and regional forms have a lower value. Strong point: Defense.
A nature can improve this entry further: its boost hits hardest on Defense, the stat in which this species already leads. Which nature does that — see the list of natures.
Which nature to choose
It hits physically: its Attack (90) is 10 points higher than its Sp. Atk. So the drop hits a stat the set usually does not use at all.
- Adamant +Atk · −SpA The default choice: the boost goes where this species is already strong.
- Jolly +Spe · −SpA Mid-range Speed means the turn order is still worth fighting for — check exactly whom you will outspeed before you give up power.
- Hidden Power and Weather Ball still deal damage based on Sp. Atk. If either of them is going into the set, lowering Sp. Atk is no longer free.
- Slush Rush doubles Speed in hail or snow. Calculate Speed benchmarks with the ability active — it may change the point of a +Spe or −Spe nature.
A conclusion drawn from base stats alone — a specific moveset can reverse it. All 25 natures.

Pokédex entry
Though it’s able to capture prey by freezing its surroundings, it has trouble eating the prey afterward because its mouth is on top of its head.
