Competitively, it's pretty shit. Designwise, it's cool as hell.

It's not really its fault. Ice/Steel just doesn't do much. They should've made Aurora Veil usable outside of Hail but tightened/kept it to the shittiest of Ice types like this, Aurorus, and Delibird in terms of distribution.

As it is, there's no reason to run this over A-Ninetales if you want to fuck around with Aurora Veil

>they should have made Aurora Veil more powerful, but put it on useless shitmons so it never gets used
anon please no, A-Tales is barely redeemable as it is outside of its speed.

What the hell are people on about when they use the term "run" when discussing competitive Pokemon play?

Pokemon is not some complicated gambit, it's fancy Rock Paper Scissors. It's just silly.

Also commentators on competitive videos using "[Pokemon] *will* use..." after a Pokemon has already made a move. Stop that shit.

Is English not your native language or do you not converse in gaming social spheres at all? It's just the vernacular. Don't lose sleep over it.

Beartic is a better option with Slush Rush and the newly buffed attack

should have been ice/ground. Grass, bug and steel are literally the worst pairings you can do with ice because they share too many weaknesses.

Steel is arguably the worst because you get TWO x4 weaknesses in fire and fighting.

Terribad typing, stats and ability are at odds, with a poor movepool. If I was going to make an awful Pokemon ironically, it would probably be very similar to Alola Sandslash. GF did it unironically.
