The fact that a literal snowflake even learns iron defense in the first place is so funny to me. Actually now that I mention it, that was kind of a traumatic introduction to Cryogonal to me. It's a 1% encounter rate outside of the winter in B/W and so I was just innocently traversing through this mountain long after my first visit, when suddenly I was confronted this giant snowflake with Angry Eyebrows(TM) that I had never seen before(this is pretty much the peak in-game experience that Pokemon has to offer, so I always try my best to avoid spoilers when a new game comes out). I was afraid to attack this rare specimen with my somewhat overleveled starter Pokémon, since I as alluded to I was finished with this part of the story and backtracking, but at full health it was easily breaking out of the Pokeballs. So when it went for Iron Defense I was like "well it's safe to attack now, unless I crit there's no way it dies from full from an in-game mon's neutral hit at +2 defense". And that's how I learned that they gave the snowflake Pokémon base 35 defense.
