>Hail now decreases the speed of all non-Ice Types
Which makes sense anyhow since IRL wintery weather conditions slow everything down and make high speeds perilous or impossible. idk by how much. Maybe the non-Ice's speed becomes x0.5, or merely x0.75. Either way this is easily the single biggest sweeping change you can make to help MANY slow shitty Ice Types suddenly stand a chance at being viable.
>Water Type is now weak to Ice Type
It makes sense because frozen water is solid, thus it is pretty useless at, y'know, being water. Freezing "ruins" the Water Type. Also water expands when it freezes, so a Water Type would suffer internal cell damage from the crystalization. I mean the whole fucking point of Ice Type is they freeze their surroundings, obviously Water Types would be more susceptible to that since they embody water.
>Ice Beam is nerfed to 65 BP
This is so Water Types don't become their own best counters. Also, I'm sick of over 25 years of Water Types having perfect coverage for every goddamn thing and being better for Ice coverage than actual Ice Types. They can fuck off.
>new move introduced similar to old Ice Beam, but only Ice Types learn it
In conjunction with the above.
Throwing them a bone defensively, even tho it doesn't actually matter and they will always be shit defensively no matter what anyone tries to do to help:
>DOES NOT RESIST WATER because that is fucking retarded and illogical, I don't care how many GODDAMN people try to whine about it, water literally melts snow/ice so no I am not FUCKING granting them a Water resist you clowns now fuck off
Ice however does now resist 2 of the following: Ground, Flying, Grass or Electric. I don't care which ones. HOWEVER, if Grass or Electric is selected those Types will need some form of compensation for the undeserved nerf.
Okay now Ice Type is fixed you are welcome.
