Vanillish (Japanese: ハニリッチ, Hepburn: Baniricchi) (vuh-NIHL-lish) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Vanillish is an icy Pokémon that resemble large ice cream cones with a sizable scoop of vanilla ice cream for a face. Vanillish has a large, snow-covered, round upper body with a swirled icy snow-like material on top, resembling a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and usually has a cheerful goofy grin on its face. Its large ovular eyes have dark blue pupils. Like its pre-evolution Vanillite, Vanillish has small diamond-shaped ice crystals on its face, just below its dark blue smiling mouth. Vanillish has two short triangular limbs that resemble chips of pointed ice, which seem to serve as its hands. It has a conical lower body that resembles a large ice cream cone or an icicle. Its entire body is made of an icy substance, and if exposed to intense heat, the snow covering its head can melt just like its pre-evolution does.

Behavior

Vanillish live in southern, snowy mountains, which they had migrated to during an ancient ice age. They create ice inside their bodies by drinking water and then expel it to hide or freeze opponents, and they can shatter frozen opponents with powerful headbutts as well.

Vanillish are smaller in hotter regions, and though one can refreeze its snow despite melting, this process can leave its appearance warped. Despite this, they are very popular in the tropics due to their air-chilling abilities. Trainers in regions like Alola must treat their Vanillish periodically with insulating spray to keep them cold. Such individuals also tend to be smaller than those found in polar areas.

Though once widespread during a past ice age, areas suitable for Vanillish and their relatives shrank and became isolated from each other during a warming period, separated by bands of warmer temperatures that they could not cross. Today, they can only be found in the icy parts of the southern hemisphere and a select few other chilly areas.

Despite their powerful ability to freeze their foes solid, Vanillish are surprisingly kind Pokémon. They dislike violence and prefer to immobilize attackers just long enough for them to flee without harming them any further.

Natural abilities

Vanillish can conceal themselves from foes by creating many icy particles in the air and shrouding themselves among them. They also use these ice crystals in battle to freeze their opponents.

Evolution

Vanillish evolves from Vanillite at level 35 and then evolves into Vanilluxe at level 47.
