Detailed Mechanical Explanation

For Discord/reference use

Glacial Rage is an offensive ability that triggers after the user successfully uses any Ice-type move. The ability follows the "rage" pattern established by similar abilities like Volcano Rage (Fire-type -> Eruption) and High Tide (Water-type -> Surf).

Mechanical Details:

• Trigger Condition: Successfully using any Ice-type move (moveType == TYPE_ICE)
• Follow-up Move: Blizzard with 50 BP (overriding the normal 110 BP)
• Target: Both opponents in double battles (BOTH target type)
• Accuracy: 85% (standard Blizzard accuracy)
• Additional Effects: 20% frostbite chance from Blizzard's natural effect
• Weather Interaction: Blizzard has perfect accuracy in hail/snow weather

Strategic Applications:

1. Multi-Hit Potential: Every Ice move becomes a potential 2-hit combo
2. Coverage Enhancement: Provides consistent Ice-type pressure after any Ice attack
3. Status Pressure: Each follow-up Blizzard has a 20% chance to inflict frostbite
4. Double Battle Dominance: Can hit both opponents with the follow-up attack
5. Weather Synergy: Devastating in hail/snow conditions with perfect accuracy

Notable Interactions:

• Works with any Ice-type move, including status moves like Haze (if they're Ice-type)
• The follow-up Blizzard can trigger abilities like Ice Body on opponents
• In hail/snow weather, the follow-up Blizzard has 100% accuracy
• The reduced 50 BP still benefits from STAB and other damage modifiers
• Can potentially trigger multiple times in one turn with multi-hit Ice moves

• Mega Glalie (Innate Ability)

This ability transforms Ice-type attackers into consistent offensive threats, making every Ice move potentially devastating through the guaranteed follow-up attack and frostbite pressure.
