Overview |
Cryogonal are made nearly entirely of ice crystals. Unlike normal ice, however, their bodies undergo sublimation from gas to solid and deposition from solid to gas, completely skipping a liquid form in either direction. Cryogonal are unable to control these transformations; if their body temperatures drops below 32°F (0°C), the freezing point of water, they will assume a solid form, and if they are above that point, they will become gaseous. Trainers can give their Cryogonal the same anti-melting “medicine” many Ice-types are treated with in order to raise their melting points considerably, though these Pokémon still dislike heat. Because of they can seemingly appear from thin air in cold weather, some believe that Cryogonal are born in snow clouds; many of them suddenly appear alongside snow as the air temperature drops. Cryogonal hunt by ensnaring prey in chains of ice released from their mouths that reach -148°F (-100°C), freezing them in seconds. They then pull their victims back in to consume them.
