>>19108283Ice is good offensively, yes, but why use ice types at all when water types all learn ice beam? Seriously. That's why water is still the strongest type in the game, making up a large portion of OU/UU mons. Even last gen, there were 12 water types in OU, and only 8 dragons in OU. Of those dragons, 4 of them are psuedo-legendaries like 'chomp and 'mence, and 3 of them are straight up god damned legendaries (including one with a BST of 700).
Ice needs a buff so that it doesn't get completely eclipsed by water. It's only real niche was that it was the dragon killing type. It's still resisted by steel, fire, and water types.
Also, grass is immune to spore/powder moves. Ice type is still the shittiest type, even though it's resisted less than grass. In fact, it got NERFED between Gen 5 and 6, because Game Freak somehow managed to go fucking bonkers. Ice needs a buff
and ice is one of the primary killers of Fairies. That's why Fairies are never seen in the winter. Also, fuck Fairies.
