Trivia

• Ice Hammer has the same description text as Hammer Arm.
• In Generation VII, its animation is similar to that of Hammer Arm, but with a blue arm instead of orange. In Generation IX, it is instead similar to Dragon Hammer and Gigaton Hammer when not used by Tinkaton, only with a blue hammer instead of rose or silver, respectively.
