>>53883643The idea on paper is that Ice is supposed to have a glass cannon playstyle, being able to hit the highest amount of pokemon (28% of the dex) for super effective damage at the cost of being frail AS paper.
The PROBLEM with that idea is how the vast majority of Ice-tpes have the stats of slow, bulky defensive pokemon. On top of that one thing that REALLY bugs me is how pretty much all Water-types get access to Ice Beam/Ice Punch, removing the one niche Ice has.
