Vanilluxe

Vanilluxe sits at 1.09% usage in singles, ranked 78th. Snow Warning flips the field to hail the moment it switches in, and its pure-Ice offensive profile pressures Water, Dragon, Flying, and Ground types. Its weakness pool covers Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel with no immunities, so its bulk is structurally fragile and it leans on weather mitigation and Aurora Veil to stay afloat.

Playstyle：The offensive core is built around Freeze-Dry, Ice Shard, and Blizzard, with the first two splitting roughly half the usage and Blizzard filling the rest. Freeze-Dry layers Ice-type coverage onto Water-type targets, Ice Shard revenge-kills weakened foes, and Aurora Veil shows up in 11.7% of sets to open a five-turn physical and special damage window. Taunt at 13.4% shuts down stall and status users. Never-Melt Ice at 62.4% is the default damage floor under hail, while Light Clay at 36.8% replaces it on Aurora Veil sets to extend the screen duration, marking a clean split between the two builds.

Doubles usage is just 0.74%, ranked 81st. The format leans even harder on Blizzard for its accuracy and spread, and unlocks minor picks like Protect, Sheer Cold, and Weather Ball. Never-Melt Ice remains dominant at 66.5%, with Choice Scarf in second at 19.5%, a clear signal that speed is a recurring concern.

Playstyle：Blizzard and Freeze-Dry together account for nearly half the moveslot, with Ice Shard at 17.9% preserving priority finishing power. Protect at 18.5% is the third most common pick and an essential tempo tool in doubles. Icy Wind at 4.6% doubles as speed control and chip damage. Choice Scarf in 19.5% of sets pushes the 79 base Speed into a workable range outside hail. The leading Modest 23/0/0/23/0/20 and Quiet 32/0/0/32/2/0 spreads both invest into Special Attack and Special Defense to wall out the boost and disruption pressure that defines doubles play.
