Vanilluxe is a [Ice](https://pokee.si/types/ice)-type Pokémon, the Snowstorm Pokémon, number 584 (#0584) in the National Pokédex. It was introduced in Generation 5 and comes from the [Unova](https://pokee.si/guide/regions/unova) region. It is 1.3 m tall and weighs 57.5 kg.

Vanilluxe is the Snowstorm Pokémon, a two-headed Ice type that people believe formed when two Vanillish stuck together. Each head has its own brain, and the Pokédex says it can live almost normally if it loses one.

## Lore

### Biology

Vanilluxe is 1.3 m tall and 57.5 kg, with two heads capped in swirled white snow on top of an icicle cone. Each head has a mouth and a pair of light purple eyes. A hollow, straw-like horn sits on the left head, and three icicle spikes hang beneath its body. The Pokédex gives its body temperature as roughly -6 °C (21 °F).

### Behaviour

The Pokédex says that when its two brains agree, Vanilluxe exhales a violent blizzard; if both heads get angry at once, it buries everything in snow, and at breaking point it freezes every creature around it, friend or foe. It swallows large amounts of water to build snow clouds inside its body. It can make snow anywhere, which skiers and snowboarders love.

### Habitat

The Pokédex gives no habitat. In Legends: Z-A an Alpha Vanilluxe waits in Wild Zone 20 at Centrico Plaza, and in the Mega Dimension DLC it appears in the 4 star Ice zone of Hyperspace Lumiose. It is not available in Scarlet and Violet.

### Powers

Vanilluxe has the Abilities Ice Body and Snow Warning, with Weak Armor hidden; Snow Warning brings up snowy weather when it enters battle. In Sword and Shield its level-up list opens with Weather Ball, Icicle Crash and Freeze-Dry, and it later learns Ice Beam, Blizzard and Sheer Cold. With 110 base Special Attack and 95 Attack it can attack from either side.

### Name origin

Vanilluxe may combine 'vanilla' with 'deluxe'. The Japanese name is Baivanilla (バイバニラ), which may join 'bi-' (two) or 倍 bai (double) with 'vanilla'.

### Design inspiration

James Turner has said Vanilluxe also borrows from US food mascots like the Pillsbury Doughboy and Grimace, and from the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man from Ghostbusters. Bulbapedia adds that its double scoops and horn may resemble a double 99 Flake with a wafer in place of the chocolate, which is a fan reading.

### Evolution notes

Vanilluxe evolves from Vanillish at level 47 and is the last stage of the line.

### In the games

In Black 2 and White 2's Pokémon World Tournament, Brycen's teams include a Vanilluxe. The species debuted in Black and White.

### In the anime

Georgia's Vanilluxe debuted in 'Crisis at Ferroseed Research!', where Ash's Oshawott fell for it and it helped rescue the people trapped in the crisis.

### Fun facts

- In Ultra Sun the Pokédex has the blizzard coming from its two mouths, but Legends: Z-A's entry says it comes from its horn.
- In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Alder uses a Vanilluxe against N in 'The Lesson Ends Here', and it is quickly defeated.
- Bulbapedia floats a visual pun on being cold-hearted: Vanilluxe's silhouette looks like a frozen cartoon heart.
