You’re in Frozen Forest to look for a woman’s stolen Pokémon. There’s not much to do here except follow the path, with a couple of exceptions.

Just to the north of the entrance is a strange sight – the lair of a giant scary Crabominable, which you can get into by using Cut on the small trees. It’s asleep though, for now.

Following the path around

The only thing to do here to progress is take the west path and circle it around.

There aren’t any trainers waiting to challenge you, just the occasional patch of long grass.

Now that you’re back in town, it’s time to finally challenge the Gym and earn the right to use HM Rock Smash!

Blizzard Gym – Wings Badge

The Guide tells you all about the Blizzard Gym / Pokémon Unbound
The Guide tells you all about the Blizzard Gym

Blizzard City’s Gym is actually a Flying-type Gym, because it’s so high up.

Flying-type moves are super effective against Bug-, Fighting-, and Grass-type Pokémon, and Flying-type Pokémon are weak against Electric-, Ice-, and Rock-type moves.

The upper floor of the Gym / Pokémon Unbound
The upper floor of the Gym

The Gym is a series of lower corridors with fans that lead up to platforms on an upper floor. It’s a bit of a maze, and if you take a wrong turn at any point, you’ll have to fight an optional trainer.

From the Guide at the entrance, step on the fan directly behind him and you’ll be pushed up to a platform that goes in two directions.

Take the west one, and follow it around until you see a hole you can drop down to.

You arrive at the south fan and need to make your way to the east fan / Pokémon Unbound
You arrive at the south fan and need to make your way to the east fan

You’ll drop down in a room with another fan to the east and Bird Keeper Edwin blocking your way.

Once you beat him, walk on the east fan and you’ll be on the upper level again.

The correct path is to the north, past Sebastian / Pokémon Unbound
The correct path is to the north, past Sebastian

Ignore the hole next to the one you came from and walk north to challenge Bird Keeper Sebastian.

The path he is on leads to another lower chamber and another fan, which you should follow.

Once you use that next fan, follow the long upper path along until Bird Keeper Perry sees you.

More upper corridors / Pokémon Unbound

After him, drop down the next hole you see, cross the lower chamber to another fan, and you’ll be in one final upper level corridor.

Bird Keeper Robert is the last trainer you’ll have to beat to get to the Gym Leader. So once you’ve done that just follow the path and head north and drop down to find yourself in her room.

Blizzard City Gym Leader – Alice

Alice is a graceful figure, but she doesn’t waste much time before challenging us.

Tip: The table below is only for Alice on Vanilla mode. If you want to see her team comp at a higher difficulty level then visit our Blizzard City Gym page here.

Her team is formidable – if you’ve been relying on Electric-type moves to take down all the Pokémon in this Gym, her Gliscor will give you a rude shock. It’s best to use an Ice move on it.

After You Win

After you beat her, head outside and Alice says she still needs to speak to you about something.

With her Gliscor using Rock Smash, Alice breaks through the barrier Ivory put up on the KBT Expressway Entrance and tells you that you can use Rock Smash now with her permission.

The new objective

Your new objective is to travel to Fallshore City through the KBT Expressway, but there may be a couple things to take care of first.

Tip: Go back to Alice and she’ll ask you to collect 20 Pretty Wings from Wingull or Pelipper – it’s an item they all hold, but unless you capture each one, you’ll need to use a move such as Knock Off or Thief to get them. If you manage to do this, you’ll get a Power Anklet.

Optional: Rock Smash Backtracking
