>>56722405>And how many Ice types are there, anon.5 fully evolved ones
>How many that aren't also weak to grassIrrelevant since they all outspeed the Grass types. Jynx and Articuno aren't weak to Grass either.
I'll give you Gen 1 being a nightmare of spaghetti coding, but Ice was still busted in Gen 1 because
A) No Special Split, your SpA and SpD were the same stat and all 5 Ice types had high Special
B) Blizzard was 90% accuracy, 120 power, and had a 20% (30% in Japan) Freeze chance
C) Fire didn't resist Ice and Steel didn't exist yet meaning the only types that resisted Ice were Water and Ice
D) Freeze was a OHKO. Once you were frozen, you couldn't unfreeze unless you were hit by one of a handful of Fire type attacks
