Froslass has the unique typing of Ghost and Ice. Not a single other Pokemon in the franchise has this unique typing besides Froslass. Due to the lack of other Pokemon with this typing, opponents may be unable to properly deal with Froslass and may panic to find a weakness. Froslass is susceptible to Rock, Fire, Steel, Dark, and other Ghost-type attacks. Froslass resists Fighting, Bug, Poison, Normal, and other Ice-type attacks.

Froslass has some pretty underwhelming stats that make it hard for it to fit into a team on Pokemon GO. With its highest stat being stamina at 172, and its attack sitting at 171, it's very unlikely that Froslass will be in combat long enough to make that big of an impact without a lucky prediction. Froslass has a defense stat of 150.
