>>54501588Because people spent too much time parroting IcE TyPe BAd memes rather than actually looking at Baxcilbuer as a whole and realizing that the damn thing has: 145 Attack, all the coverage it needs, STAB priority, a sig move that’s Outrage you can switch out of with a nothingburger drawback, an ability that make Fire moves boost its attack so not only is it an ice type the discourages Fire moves but it’s also a physical attacker that can’t even be burned, and it gets dragon dance. Oh and Snow actually gave ice types a snowball’s chance to actually survive a hit or too. Oh and it can borrow ZARD’s Tim’s to avoid sneaky pebbles, OH and Tera is a thing so if the ice type is such a bother for it it can just change its type while keeping STAB on the best offensive type in the game.
OH and the entire “Ice types bad” thing only to ever applied to tanks and walls every offensive Ice type with even the semblance of speed has been either been good, meta-defining, or kicked out of the meta for being broken.
