'''Ice Face''' (Japanese: '''アイスフェイス''' ''Ice Face'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Eiscue}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|Is Ice Face affected by {{a|Power of Alchemy}}, {{a|Mummy}}, {{a|Receiver}}?}}
When an Eiscue that's in its Ice Face form is hit by a [[physical move]], it takes no [[damage]] and changes into its Noice Face form. If a {{OBP|hail|weather condition}}storm begins while Eiscue is in its Noice Face form, or if it is sent out in its Noice Face form during hail, it will immediately revert to its Ice Face form. Eiscue will not revert to its Ice Face form if there is already hail when it changes into its Noice Face form. This form change persists even when Eiscue is switched out, but is undone at the end of the battle.

Ice Face does not protect against [[special move]]s.

{{m|Gastro Acid}}, {{m|Worry Seed}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}} fail if the target has Ice Face. {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} fail if either Pokémon has Ice Face. Ice Face cannot be copied by {{a|Trace}}. Ice Face cannot be suppressed by {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, traded by {{a|Wandering Spirit}}, or replaced by {{a|Lingering Aroma}}.

====Generation IX====
Due to snow replacing hail as a weather condition, Eiscue will now revert to Ice Face form during [[snow]] in the same circumstances as [[Generation VIII]].

===Outside of battle===
Ice Face has no effect outside of battle.
