Strategy & play

How Froslass plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Water type, weak to Metal ×2 — a Metal attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Snorunt; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
  • Seen in 4% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 2 copies.

How to beat Froslass

  • Exploit its Metal weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Froslass is real?

Froslass is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
