It already exists, Rock/Ice:
- Weak to 6 types (Grass, Water, Ground, Fighting, Steel and Rock)
- Weak to every existant entry hazard
- Rock and Ice together can only hit super effective to Fire, Flying, Bug, Ice, Grass, Ground, and Dragon
- Amaura's and Aurorus' (the only Rock/Ice so far) best Rock-type move is Ancient Power, it even don't get Power Gem

Pure normal is honestly awful. All good Pokémon of that type are good despite being their typing rather than because of it, either through great stats, movepool or ability.
Dispute my claim. Expert advice: You are unable.

Ice/Grass is a strong contender. So is Ice/Rock. Funny enough, Rock/Grass is actually pretty great.

Rock/Ice is really good coverage though. It's only resisted by steel.
>ice is probably the best offensive typing in the game
>rock handles how ice can't hit fire and ice types while being neutral on water

If GF stopped the shitty slow bulky ice type meme, an infernape style ice/rock sweeper would be amazing in a especially if it gets earthquake and access to ice shard and accelrock to handle priority.

It's not on the level of something like bug/grass or psychic/grass

Agree, a glass cannon rock/ice with ground/fire coverage would be good. Think weavile

monotype ice is flat out worse than monotype normal
it only resists itself and is weak to 3 common offensive types

at least normal only has 1 weakness and an immunity

Mononormal isn't bad, honestly. It only has one weakness, and an immunity which is a fucking amazing exchange.
Offensivly, normal is a fantastic Stab, as Return is better than Earthquake, and only 3 types resist or negate it. 2 of those types get covered by, you guessed it, Earthquake.

The worst is probably Ice/Rock. It only resists Ice, Poison, and Normal while it has 6 weaknesses. 2 of those are 4x weaknesses, and a weakness to Ground, Fighting, or Water is kind of a big deal.

>Ability moves all of its moves to the top of it's priority bracket (So Quick Attack would still go before it, but any non-priority wouldn't.) at the cost of built-in Life Orb recoil.
