From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Arctibax (Japanese: セゴール Segohru) is a dual-type Dragon/Ice Pokémon introduced in Generation IX.
It evolves from Frigibax starting at level 35 and evolves into Baxcalibur starting at level 54.
Biology
Arctibax is a bluish gray theropod-like Pokémon, with a jagged light blue pattern on its underside, a medium-sized tail, and a large, triangular, dark gray dorsal fin on its back. Its eyes have yellow sclerae and black pupils, and it has three bluish-white claws on its hands and feet, along with long, thin, V-shaped orange quills on the backs of its hands.
Arctibax is capable of freezing its surrounding air, forming an ice mask over its mouth and eyes — the latter resembling eyebrows — to protect itself. It also encases its dorsal fin in sharp ice spikes, forming a blade of ice. Arctibax has strong back and leg muscles, which allow it to do a front flip while airborne and attack opponents with its dorsal fin. It is rarely found in the wild, but may be sighted in certain caverns.
Arctibax and its evolutionary relatives are the only known Pokémon that can have Thermal Exchange as an Ability.
Evolution
Arctibax evolves from Frigibax and evolves into Baxcalibur.

Main article: Arctibax (TCG)Trivia
- Arctibax and its evolutionary relatives are the only Ice-type Pokémon in the Dragon Egg Group.
- Arctibax is the only member of its evolutionary family to be unable to learn Dragon Claw by levelling up. The large gap in levels between the moves learned before and after when Dragon Claw is learned by its relatives - Ice Fang and Take Down - suggests this was an oversight.
Origin
Arctibax may be based on the Spinosaurus or the Concavenator — fossils of the latter were first discovered in Spain, and it had a crest on its back and quills on its forelimbs, the former of which is hypothesized to have functioned as a tool of thermoregulation. It may also be based on other sail-backed prehistoric animals, most notably Ouranosaurus, Arizonasaurus, or Dimetrodon.
Name origin
Arctibax may be a combination of arctic, back, and axe.
Segohru may be a combination of 背 se (back) and 凍る kōru (freeze).
