“Probably has something to do with the fact that Freeze is dramatically more powerful than any of the others. In fact, that’s after it’s been nerfed.”
Yep. Freeze doesn’t have a set amount of turns it takes, but rather, has a 20% chance for you to thaw (unless a few certain moves are used). This is even after a nerf to it, it used to be even stronger. If your RNG is bad, freeze can last a long, long time. 20% is 1/5, so chances are you’ll thaw within 5 turns, but that’s not guaranteed. Sleep is also a pretty tough Status condition, but it only lasts 1-3 turns. They made all the sleep moves (minus spore) have low accuracy to nerf them. A freeze move would realistically need 40-60 accuracy in order to not be too good.
Hope this helps!
