Thermal Exchange (Japanese: ねつこうかん Thermal Exchange) is an Ability introduced in Generation IX. It is the signature Ability of Frigibax's evolutionary line.
Effect
In battle
When a Pokémon with Thermal Exchange is hit by a Fire-type damaging move, its Attack is increased by one stage. It does not provide immunity or reduction to the damage. It also prevents the Pokémon from being burned. This Ability does not activate if the substitute is hit.
A Pokémon with this Ability will be cured of burn if it is burned while in battle (such as if it gains the Ability outside of battle or by an effect like Skill Swap, or is burned by a Pokémon with an Ability like Mold Breaker).
Outside of battle
Thermal Exchange has no effect outside of battle.
