Vanillite is a little Pokémon with a snow-covered head that looks like soft-serve vanilla ice cream in a cup or wafer cone. Under this is its true head, which is composed of the same cold substance as the rest of its body. It has light blue crystals on its cheekbones, dark blue eyes, and a dark blue lips. It has stubby limbs and a little body covered with ice particles. The snow on a Vanillite’s head may melt with heat or repeated contact, giving the creature a “bald” look. If observed in this situation, the Japanese Pokédex 4-koma gets humiliated.
Vanillite is formed when icicles are touched by morning sunshine and do not want to melt. It may blow winds with temperatures as low as 58 °F (50 °C), causing ice crystals to form and snow in neighboring places as it exhales. It sleeps buried in snow and gets its vigor from the rising light. It is prized by homes in hotter locations, yet it is gradually dwindling. Glalie is a natural Vanillite predator.
