Baxcalibur have been described as walking snowstorms, for they chill the air so much that Ursaluna are known, even in summer, to spontaneously enter hibernation in their presence. People, however, are far more concerned with those pokemon who leave hibernation than those who enter it, and with those who can not so easily escape a Baxcalibur's chill.
Humans obtain a majority of their calories from grass pokemon and inert plants, which share grass pokemon's intolerance of low temperatures but lack any means by which to protect themselves or flee. In agrarian societies, even a single ice type outside the winter is a dangerous pest – and Baxcalibur are invariably accompanied by a miniature army, making this pokemon a walking natural disaster.
A few historians have seen civilization in Paldea as developing out of the need to protect crops from Baxcalibur attacks; this is disputed, however, as no domestic pokemon known to antiquity was clearly capable of taking down a Baxcalibur. Even modern Baxcalibur are often encountered at the highest levels of the Paldean League; further research into the Treasures of Ruin is required to determine the legitimacy of this thesis.
Whatever the state's origins, it is undeniable that Paldea's kings have long been concerned with Baxcalibur relief. The mass outbreak tracking system has spread across multiple continents, and is usually used by trainers to hunt for, not avoid, the pokemon in question; it originated as a Baxcalibur warning alarm. The ruins of fortified greenhouses permit no explanation other than Baxcalibur defense, and archaeologists have correlated the biochemical signatures of diets high in Smoliv to Baxcalibur disasters known from the historical era. Paldea today acquires much of its food from foreign trade, and strong modern trainers can defeat wild Baxcalibur, but the fear these pokemon long represented has not yet been forgotten.
