Vanillish (Japanese: バニリッチ Vanirich) is an Ice-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It evolves from Vanillite starting at level 35 and evolves into Vanilluxe starting at level 47.
Biology
A "bald" Vanillish with a melted snow covering
Vanillish is a Pokémon with a large, white, rounded upper body with a swirled substance on top, making it resemble a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Its eyes are dark blue with small ice crystals at the sides. Vanillish has a dark blue mouth, two ice crystals below its mouth, and stubby limbs that resemble icicles. It has a pointed lower body that resembles a large icicle.
Vanillish lives in southern, snowy mountains, which it migrated to during an ancient ice age. It composes ice inside its body by drinking water and then expels it to hide or freeze opponents. It can shatter frozen opponents with powerful headbutts. Vanillish are smaller in hotter regions, and though it can refreeze its snow despite melting, this process can leave its appearance warped.
In the anime
Major appearances
Vanillish debuted in The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!, under the ownership of Dr. Ferrara/Cryogonal Man. It battled Charles's Accelgor, only to be knocked out by its Swift.
In Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!, Brycen used a Vanillish in a Gym battle against Ash. It first went up against Krookodile, who was eventually recalled for Scraggy, who in turn defeated Vanillish with a combination of Focus Blast and Headbutt.
In Thawing an Icy Panic!, a Vanillish and Vanilluxe were looking for a Vanillite who had gone missing. They composed a big snowstorm in Coumarine City in the process of the search.
Minor appearances
A Vanillish appeared in Performing with Fiery Charm!, under the ownership of a Performer. In Master Class is in Session!, it was used in the Master Class Pokémon Showcase in Gloire City. In Performing a Pathway to the Future!, Vanillish was seen watching the same Showcase.
