(Japanese: フリーズボルト Freeze Bolt) is a damage-dealing Template:Type2 move introduced in Generation V.
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. 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, Freeze Bolt 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.
