>>21228001Because something with Avalugg's base stats would still need a far, FAR better type combination to actually be viable. Lopsided defenses really only work if you have a fuckton of HP to cover for the weaker stat.
Most Ice-types have the same issue, in that their stat spreads are so bad that only a stupid good type/ability combo could've redeemed them. Bloat the type with glass cannons instead of glaciers and it'd be just fine. It's a fantastic offensive type, stop filling it with defensive Pokemon.
First thing I'd do is give Ice-types a 50% Special Attack boost in Hail.
