Tagg's Vanilluxe (Hoarfrost)
Vanilluxe, or Hoarfrost, as is his true name, is Tagg's male Vanilluxe. Tagg met Vanilluxe in Driftveil's Cold Storage as a Vanillite, where he made off with his hat before Tagg caught up with him. After playing around with everyone, he decided to join Tagg to see the world. While he doesn't have the greatest physical defense, he has great special defense and has the third highest special attack amongst Tagg's Unovan Pokemon, only beaten out by Helios and Hydreigon.
