For those who don't know, Freeze-Dry is a special attack introduced in Generation VI. It's an ice-type attack with a base power of 70, accuracy of 100, and pp of 20. Freeze-Dry deals damage and has a 10% chance of freezing the target. Unlike other Ice-type moves, it deals super-effective damage to Water-type Pokmon, even during Inverse Battles or if the user has the Normalize Ability.

I think it's a great attack that I wish opened the door to a lot more appropriate interactions. One idea I had many years ago was for a poison type attack called "Corrosion" that dealt super effective damage towards steel types. It is the name of an ability for Salazzle where it could poison steel types.

Overall I think the attack is really cool and I'm glad it is in the game. It having a lower BP than other ice type attacks kind of balances out its very powerful side effect. I wish there were others like it that don't necessarily target resistances but are still thematic. Like Scorched Earth = super effective against ground types (Fire type attack)
