(Japanese: フリーズボルト Freeze Bolt) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V. It is speculated to be one of Kyurem's signature moves.
Effect
Freeze Bolt deals damage, has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target.
Freeze Bolt does nothing on the turn it is selected, other than state that the user is charging. This charge turn can be skipped using a Power Herb. On the following turn, Freeze Bolt will deal damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Freeze Bolt is selected, the user won't be able to switch out until it is disrupted or fully executed.
If Freeze Bolt is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the target uses Mirror Move during the turn that the user is charging, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Freeze Bolt (or fail if it can't).
Sleep, freeze, partial trapping, and flinching will pause but not disrupt the duration of Freeze Bolt.
Learnset
Generation V
Currently, no Pokémon is known to learn Freeze Bolt by TM, Move Tutor or level up, although it is likely to be Kyurem's signature move.
