Froslass is the evolved form of Snorunt. In the main-series games, only female Snorunt can evolve into Froslass. A Dawn Stone was also needed. It is unknown if either of these requirements will be given to Froslass in Pokémon GO.

PLACE IN THE META:
 Let's cut straight to the chase: Froslass will not be relevant at all in Pokémon GO. Its stats are mediocre at best, meaning its place in the metagame is nonexistent.

Froslass is an Ice- and Ghost-type. This means it is resistant to Bug-, Ice-, and Poison-type attacks; "immune" to Fighting- and Normal-type attacks; as well as weak to Dark-, Ghost-, Steel-, Fire-, and Rock-type attacks.

​LIKELY MOVEPOOL: Out of the Fast Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Froslass:
  • Ice Shard
  • Powder Snow

Out of the Charged Moves we currently have in Pokémon GO, the following are the ones that seem most likely to be given to Froslass:
  • Blizzard
  • Ominous Wind
  • ​Psychic
  • ​Shadow Ball

Should Niantic add any new moves, the following are good candidates for Froslass' movepool:
  • Destiny Bond
  • ​Pain Split

LOOKING AHEAD: Looking beyond Generation 4, Froslass gains no evolution, exclusive Z-Move, or Mega Evolution.
Thanks for reading, Trainers!
