As Froslass absorbed the Eternal Ice, a vast, snow-white plain appeared in her mind.
An Avalugg stood atop a glacier. It was far larger than even the Aurorus below.
Unlike an ordinary Avalugg, this one had a golden body and limbs made of rock. Its pointed head bore golden armor shaped like a plow blade.
If Pryce had not just told her that the Eternal Ice had come from an Avalugg, Froslass might not have recognized the Pokémon before her at all.
