>>18952411Rock and Ice arent bad typings per se, the problem is game freak is stupid enough to make Rock and Ice types into slow, defensive Pokemon when they're CLEARLY very offensive typings. (for example, rock is the only type in the game that hits more types super effectively than it does not very effectively and has no immunities).
Ever noticed that Ice types that ever got anywhere (Weavile, Mamoswine, Cloyster) were all build for offense? Excactly. Same with Rock past Gen I, when it's only defensive niche (Normal resistance) was took over and done 100x better by Steel types. The only possible exception to this rule could be Tyranitar, but we all know Rock type isnt the main reason why it's so good.
