Snowpoint City is a frigid town in the far north. Heal your Pokémon. You can visit the Snowpoint Temple (blocked for now) and the Move Deleter's house. The Gym puzzle involves sliding on ice, so be careful!
Candice specializes in Ice-type Pokémon. Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type moves are super effective. Infernape is a fantastic choice here. Lucario, Machamp, and any strong Fire or Rock-type Pokémon will also do well. Be wary of her Froslass, which is very fast.
Gym Leader: Candice
Type Specialty: Ice
Recommended Level: 42-46
Team:
- Sneasel (Level 40, Ice/Dark)
- Medicham (Level 40, Fighting/Psychic)
- Froslass (Level 42, Ice/Ghost)
- Abomasnow (Level 44, Ice/Grass)
Strategy: Candice's team is diverse. Sneasel is fast, Medicham hits hard with Pure Power, Froslass is speedy and can cause status, and Abomasnow sets up Hail with its ability. Focus on super-effective moves. Fire-types will struggle against Medicham but excel against Abomasnow. Fighting-types are good against Sneasel, Medicham, and Abomasnow. After defeating Candice, you'll receive the Icicle Badge, allowing you to use Rock Climb outside of battle, and TM72 (Avalanche).
