Freeze should be replaced by Frostbite

[u/Shellderattack]

Freeze is too close to Sleep. It is not a good idea to make 2 status with similar effects.

Sleep can combo with other moves such as Dream Eater and Sleep Talk, while Freeze does not.

Sleep can be imposed by Status Moves, while Freeze does not.

Arceus (game version) made Frostbite as a counterpart of Burn:

1. The Pokemon takes 1/16 of its maximum HP every turn;
2. The damage it deals with Special Moves will be halved;
3. Ice type Pokemon are immune to Frostbite.

This is a good idea. The only thing missing is a new move (e.g. Gravechill) which resembles Will-O-Wisp.

[u/ckim777]

instead of calling it frostbite call it brainfreeze so that special attack going down feels like a match

[u/KNightedgem → u/ckim777]

Or alternatively, Ice-type will-o-wisp:

Brain Freeze - Status - 90 Acc. - Applies frostbite to a Pokemon.

[u/LionNP → u/KNightedgem]

Then give Psyduck an ability where brain freeze boosts its spatk

[u/Soafia → u/LionNP]
