How did my Lugia thaw out?

Jun. 24, 2015

It got frozen by Ice Beam, then it thawed out and used Thunder Wave. I thought only Sacred Fire stuff can do it. Can anybody help?

Frozen:

Effect:>Freezing causes a Pokémon to be unable to make a move foran indeterminate number of moves. The specifics vary between generations.

Further,

From Generation II onward, freeze has a random, 20% chance to be cured on its own on the frozen Pokémon’s turn. Consequently,the frozen Pokémon may thaw out on the turn of freezing.
