>>25071639Ice only resists Ice type attacks, is weak to stealth rocks, and two of the most common attack types (fire and fighting) as well as the niche steel attacks.
So ice typing is 100% a negative trait, especially when water types, who are defensive juggernauts, all have access to most ice moves.
Even most Ice types have shit abilities:
>snow warning pointless as hail is the most useless weather condition that literally can be canceled by leftovers without a defense or offense boost like other conditions.
The only thing good about Ice types at all is STAB for Ice attacks. But Only Weavile and Froslass can really take advantage of that with their speed. In the top 150 fastest pokemon, only 3 are ice.
Being ice is suffering, pic related can fix that.
