Eiscue is an Ice-type Pokemon introduced in the Galar region. It keeps its head cool with a block of ice and can shift into its Noice Face form after its Ice Face ability absorbs a physical hit.
Competitive Overview
Eiscue can be a niche competitive Pokemon because Ice Face can block one physical attack, giving it a chance to set up or survive a key turn. It can use physical Ice-type attacks and Water coverage to pressure opponents.
Eiscue’s biggest issues are its weaknesses to Fire, Rock, Fighting and Steel-type moves, along with its reliance on Ice Face to create momentum. It works best when it can restore Ice Face with snow support or use its form change strategically.
Here are the key facts to know about Eiscue, including its type, abilities, height, weight and species information.
