It sniffles before performing a move, using its frosty snot to provide an icy element to any move that needs it.
Shield
When this Pokémon is in good health, its snot becomes thicker and stickier. It will smear its snot on anyone it doesn’t like.
Sword
Their snot is a barometer of health. When healthy, their snot is sticky and the power of their ice moves increases.
Black 2 · White 2 · Y · Alpha Sapphire
Its nose is always running. It sniffs the snot back up because the mucus provides the raw material for its moves.
White · X · Omega Ruby
When it is not feeling well, its mucus gets watery and the power of its Ice-type moves decreases.
