Vanillite (Japanese: バニプッチ Vanipeti) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves into Vanillish at level 35, which evolves into Vanilluxe at level 47.
Biology
A "bald" Vanillite with a melted snow covering
Vanillite is a small Pokémon with a head covered with something resembling soft-serve vanilla ice cream. Beneath this lies its actual head, which is made of the same icy material as its body. It has dark blue eyes, a dark-blue mouth, and light blue crystals on its cheeks. Its small body is adorned with specks of ice and has stubby arms. The snow on a Vanillite's head can melt with heat or repeated touching, leaving it with a "bald" appearance of simply an ice creature. In the Japanese Pokédex 4-coma, it becomes embarrassed if seen in this state.
Vanillite are born from icicles that are hit by morning sunlight and wish not to melt. It can blow winds as low as -58 °F (-50 °C), which causes it to compose ice crystals and make it snow in nearby areas when it exhales. It sleeps buried under snow and gains energy from the morning sun. In hotter regions, it is treasured by households, though it shrinks little by little. Glalie is a natural predator of Vanillite.
In the anime
Major appearances
Vanillite debuted in Ash and Trip's Third Battle!, under the ownership of Trip. It was used to battle a wild Palpitoad, and then in Trip's battle against Ash. During the battle, it was pitted against Tepig, and both were eventually knocked out.
In The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!, Cryogonal Man's henchmen own two Vanillite that assisted their Trainers in their schemes. Both were eventually defeated by Pikachu and Linda's Timburr.
In Cilan and the Case of the Purrloin Witness!, Teaque used a Vanillite in the Marine Cup Tournament during his battle against Iris. It defeated Axew in the first round. Vanillite later helped steal the "Eye of Liepard".
In Thawing an Icy Panic!, a Vanillite had been separated from a Vanillish and a Vanilluxe during their journey. It was taken care of by Nurse Joy in Coumarine City and soon became a minor local celebrity. It was eventually reunited with the Vanillish and Vanilluxe by the end of the episode.
Minor appearances
In Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice, Malin's Vanillite would help her with selling Oran Ice at her lunchbox stand.
In JN069, James pulled a Vanillite from the Rocket Prize Master.
