Vanillite (Japanese: バニプッチ, Hepburn: Baniputchi) (vuh-NIHL-lyte) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

Biology

Physiology

Vanillite is a small Pokémon that resembles an ice cream cone with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a head. Vanillite's head is covered with white snow that resembles a swirled scoop of vanilla ice cream. Beneath the snowy cover, Vanillite's head is made of the same icy material as its light blue, semi-translucent body. It is possible for the snowy material covering its head to melt if exposed to high temperatures. Vanillite has light blue ovular eyes with dark blue pupils, a small dark-blue mouth, and a diamond-shaped ice crystal on each cheek. Its small body is sprinkled with particles of ice and has short icy arms. The cylindrical bottom part of its body resembles a small ice cream cone made of translucent bluish ice.

Behavior

Vanillite is theorized to be created from icicles that absorb the rays of a morning sun. They don't tolerate living in hot areas and will maintain their cold body temperature via creating snow with icy breaths that can reach negative 58 degrees Fahrenheit. Vanillite will seek shelter by hiding underneath snow, mostly whenever they need to sleep. In hotter regions, they are treasured by households, though they shrink little by little. Glalie is a natural predator of Vanillite.

Natural abilities

Vanillite can create small snowstorms by producing ice crystals in the atmosphere with their freezing breaths.

Evolution

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