What it does

Holder's Ice-type attacks have 1.2x power.

Who holds it

14 of the 277 Pokémon measured on the Regulation M-B ladder hold Never-Melt Ice. The one that matters most is Ninetales-Alola, which is on 6.5% of teams and holds it on 30.1% of its sets. The full list is above, ordered by how much of the format each one is.

How concentrated it is

Across the ladder, Never-Melt Ice accounts for an expected 0.03 of the six slots on an average team, which makes it the 20th most-brought of the 26 items this format runs. 72% of that comes from Ninetales-Alola alone, so it is really one Pokémon’s item rather than the format’s. Its holders are mostly Ice (12), Dark (2) and Rock (2).

Where these numbers come from

Usage is Smogon's published statistics for the Regulation M-B VGC ladder, and the description is the one shipped in the Pokémon Showdown data set. Both are regenerated on every build rather than written by hand, so this page follows the format instead of trailing it. Take any of it to the team builder or the damage calculator.
