Why is Ice/Water such a cursed typing? Literally none of the pokemon with it are particularly good.

On the bright side, Pelipper, Torkoal and Ninetales's buffs this gen show nothing is completely impossible to buff!
All it needs is one of the best abilities in the game and some useful new moves... and some support to make up for its crap stats.

Exact same problems, worsened by the fact that every other Water/Flying type got buffed in the last two gens

water types already get ice moves, ice is the worst defensive type in the game, ice types don't naturally get any sort of moves water types don't get

It saw some use on Perish Trap teams in VGC 2015.

Unfortunately the only Perish Trap teams that actually did well at tournaments were the ones that behaved like regular teams, but happened to have Politoed, Gengar, Gothitelle etc. if the opportunity came up, and Dewgong never really got that good.

It's -almost- above PU. It hurts me more than it should.

He never said that you fucking apologist.

Not every pokemon has to be OU, but there really shouldn't be any Pokemon that sucks shit in the lowest tier, being outclassed by NFEs.

Seviper is cool early game mon since it hits hard and nothing is especially bulky/fast at the start. Things fall off from there.

I got one in a Wonderlocke really early and found this. Still kept it all the way to the end though, soloed Phoebe for me.

I don't understand the point of that 94 attack stat. Utterly useless besides U-Turn. Should've been the speed stat.

Almost all of my favorites suck ass. It hurts.

Like Furret, my first ever shiny and all around favorite normal type. I try to trade him to every gen and reset his xp using powersaves, but he's usually not very helpful.

Seaking, very much like Dewgong, was an awkward mixed-attacker that hasn't
1. gotten a Gen II evolution
2. gotten a Gen II/III special move (EG Fafetch'd's Stick, Cubone/Marowak's Thick Club)
3. gotten a Gen IV cross-gen evolution
4. gotten a Gen VI Mega evolution
5. gotten a Gen VI stat buff
6. gotten a Gen VII stat buff
7. otherwise been given some exclusive signature move, ridiculously good ability (or at least appropriate for it, e.g. Ditto's Prankster), or otherwise

I haven't sat down and figured out who else has been ignored, but I imagine that the list isn't that expansive.

seaking has swift swim, and if golduck managed to become a top mon in VGC this year thanks to that, the time may come that it will become useful too.

Schooling, Hidden Power is a 150 move that deals typeless damage yet gets stab from Schooled Unown.
It looks like an Arceus made of Unown
