Evolution

Methods are the current official ones. A ROM hack may change them — trade evolutions especially; the guide table below says which do.

In the ROM hacks it evolves differently

Each guide's own line, in the words its creator published.

Pokédex entries

What each game says about it, in the games' own words.

Black / Y / Alpha SapphireSnowy mountains are this Pokémon’s habitat. During an ancient ice age, they moved to southern areas.
WhiteIt conceals itself from enemy eyes by creating many small ice particles and hiding among them.
Black 2 / White 2 / X / Omega RubyThey cool down the surrounding air and create ice particles, which they use to freeze their foes.
SunHot days cause its body to melt. It can be restored by refreezing it, but the process leaves its body slightly warped.
MoonThis Pokémon has existed since the Ice Age. It controls particles of ice, freezes its opponents, and then shatters them with a headbutt.
Ultra SunIt sprays its enemies with grains of ice to freeze them. Most Vanillish in Alola are smaller than average.
Ultra MoonThis hearty Pokémon survived the Ice Age. It’s incredibly popular in very hot regions.

Official data here is present-day reference data from PokéAPI, not a snapshot of any one game's era — the Fairy type and hidden abilities arrived partway through the series, so a difference against an older game can belong to the series rather than to that ROM hack.
