It is known as the Fresh Snow Pokémon, and its appearance strongly resembles an ice cream cone, specifically a single scoop of vanilla ice cream with a swirl on top. According to Pokédex entries, Vanillite was supposedly born from an icicle, and it thrives in cold environments, often found in caves or snowy mountain areas. Its diet consists of snow and ice, which it uses to create its body. Vanillite's behavior is characterized by its ability to spew freezing air, often to make itself more comfortable or to ward off potential threats. It evolves into Vanillish, and then further into Vanilluxe, forming a unique three-stage evolutionary line. In the games, it is typically encountered in colder routes and caves. In the anime, Vanillite and its evolutions have appeared in various episodes, often showcasing their playful yet sometimes mischievous nature, and their ability to create snow and ice. Its design, while sometimes polarizing, has given it a memorable place in Pokémon lore as one of the more unique food-inspired Pokémon.
