Phrossa


From Rebirpedia, the Pokémon Rebirth encyclopaedia.

 

Phrossa [Fr-oh-sah] is the coldest region in the world, rendered almost uninhabitable to humans and most species of Pokémon as a result of shifting earth plates over hundreds of years. There still remain one or two human settlements in the southernmost parts of the region.

Once, Phrossa was a warmer area which played host to the powerful Tanmius and Terup viking tribes and their pokémon associates. As the temperature plummeted and cultivating food bordered on impossible, these tribes migrated southward -selfishly overtaking smaller and more defenceless settlements in their pursuit of resources.

Due to its positioning, Phrossa makes an excellent habitat for Ice type Pokémon, particularly Spheal, Swinub and its evolutionary forms. It is also the location of the Phrossan Aurora, a mysterious light phenomenon that can be seen from space.

It is thought that the Phrossan Aurora was responsible for attracting an incoming meteorite containing two Deoxys in 1994.
