>>22164528Yeah, exactly, that's what I mean.
Most Ice Types are always ice types, so they have to come in on Stealth Rock and take 25% of their health away as well as being stuck with a shitty defensive typing permanently.
Greninja very rarely has to take a hit while it's an ice type so it gets all the benefits of being an Ice Type offensively without the downsides of being weak to fire and stuff.
Not running Ice Beam on Greninja is actually ridiculous considering how good the move is (reliable 90BP STAB attack) and considering how many things it hits for super effective damage (all the Dragons as well as Landorus, Gliscor, Mega Pinsir, Breloom, etc)
