Ninetales will see OU play again if these predictions come true.

We still don't know if the new forms will get to keep their old moves. Ice/Fairy with access to Overheat is pretty deadly.

Icetails is a hard counter to every 600BST pseudo-legendary released thus far. Bullet Punch will wreck her shit, but is it really worth dropping her for that reason alone? I can see smogon banning her to ubers because of "muh healthy meta" if every team is forced to run Scizor due to her threat.

If it's hidden ability is snow warming, why should I use ice beam over blizzard, which can't miss on hail because it ignores avoid and accuracy?

Hail Changes

>Chance of thawing from Freeze condition each round is halved.

New Abilities
>Snow Rush: Doubles speed in Hail.
>Snow Force: Boosts power of Ice-type moves by 30% and improves the chances of inflicting the Freeze condition by 10% while Hail is active.

How does this change the meta?

make Water and some other type immune to hail damage and Hail will be usable again.

Or just release a Snowy terrain that has similar powerup effects plus lowering grounded pokemon`s speed

That sounds suspiciously like a way to buff other types so that they can be used instead of Ice-types.

You must have some defensive mons in your team, and Ice does a pretty shitty job at being defensive while Water does it perfectly. They take on Fire and Steel moves and shit all over Fire and Rock types.

The reason most weather is good is because it benefits other types besides its own. Rain benefits Electric and Flying moves, plus helping Pokemon that are weak to Fire. Sunlight helps Fire and Grass Pokemon while Sand helps Rock, Steel and Ground types. Hail just helps fucking Ice, and running mono-Ice sucks pretty bad.

I can definitely see this thing getting Nasty Plot. It would a fierce mon to face against.

Also, for any stupid individual that says "Bullet Punch"........why the hell would stay with it in the first place KNOWING that pokemon carries that move. Also, you still have 5 pokemon in the back, ready to take that Bullet Punch.

because if you dont youre forced to have your defensive mon lose HP every turn. Water pairs with Ice pretty well, it patches up two weaknesses and takes care of two as well.

It pretty much is a indirect buff to Hail teams as a whole.

100 base speed is about average these days.

As far as Fairy-types go, Whimsicott has 116 speed, with Dedenne coming in at 101. M-Gard only has 100 speed as well, but generally relies on it's huge damage to make up for it rolling with a Timid nature.

Ice types really only have Cryogonal and Frosslass as Special Attackers, with a 105 and 110 speed, respectively. Weavile coming in with 125 base speed is ridiculous, but it's so goddamn frail it's insulting.

Cut Icetales some slack and just call it as it is; a dragon killer that only really kills non-Jolly/Timid sets.
