==Summary==
Eiscue is a penguin Pokémon that was released in Generation 8. It appears exclusively on Route 10 in Pokémon Shield, where it has a 2% chance of being encountered. Its most notable trait is the large ice cube covering its face, which it uses to cool its heat-sensitive head. Its signature ability, Ice Face, utilizes this ice cube to completely absorb and nullify the first physical attack it receives, shattering it and giving it a huge boost in speed at the cost of defense. This ice cube will grow back if it hails.

Intelligence: Below Average normally (Capable of coherent speech between other Pokémon, a degree of understanding of commands and social situations, and can solve minor puzzles, though still mostly driven by instinct), Above Average in battle (Pokémon are hard-wired for battle and even in the wild can master many moves and fight the likes of Machop which train in all martial arts)
Weaknesses:
*Fire, Steel, Rock, and Fighting type moves do double damage to it
*Its head is very sensitive to heat
*Ice Face, while it is capable of tanking any physical attack within gameplay, logically wouldn't cover the rest of its body in an actual fight. It also:
**Weighs down Eiscue, drastically hindering its speed until it gets broken off
**Does not block secondary effects of physical attacks like paralysis or poison
**Does not block special moves like psychic or surf. It only blocks physical attacks
**Does not come back unless it hails
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
<tabber>Abilities=
*Ice Face: An ability unique to Eiscue. Eiscue's face is constantly covered by a large ice cube, which it creates to keep its heat-sensitive head cool. This ice cube can completely absorb and nullify the damage of the first physical attack Eiscue takes in battle. When it gets shattered, Eiscue gains a massive boost in speed due to the loss of weight, while suffering a big debuff in special and physical defense. The ice cube will reform around Eiscue's head when it hails.
