there's a catch. It still keeps its current movepool, abilities, and stats.

I was so disappointed when I saw he was Rock/Steel instead of Rock/Electric. He really needed STAB on those Electric attacks to do any decent damage.

I guess I should go as well.

Well pykrete is ice and wood pulp but we all know how bad ice/grass typing is.

Ability:
Insulation melting - being hit by a fire move halves the damage of future fire moves.

That's the best I can do why sticking to the habakkuk theme.

honestly GF should just cut their losses and load up ice with a bunch more resistances if they keep insisting on making slow defensive ice types

I would rather give it recovery but a variant with this typing would be a much better tank, so many more resistances and less weaknesses.

I was just thinking of Lapras. Never really understood why it had an Ice typing in the first place. Dragon/Water or even plain Water makes more sense.

Here, I'll do one more: have Blissey gain Fairy typing upon evolution making it Normal/Fairy but keep Chansey as pure Normal type. That will give them more distinction in the metagame.

They really should and give bug a hand while they are at it.

Ice should resist:
Flying
Grass
Bug(lol sorry bugs)
Water
Ground

Bug shouldn't be resisted by:
Fairy (bug should be super effective vs fairy)
Ghost
Poison
Fighting (it also shouldn't resist fighting)
It should also be weak to ice.

Ice should be slow strong defences where as bug should be nasty biters but poor defensively.

ice is a fucking curse as a typing instead of a blessing. Anything that has ice typing would be so much fucking better without the ice typing with about 2 or 3 fucking exceptions.

Ferrothorn is good as a wall despite the fire and fighting weakness because it has key resistances. Alolan Sandlash can't switch into shit because Ice fucking sucks. Same with the hypothetical Mega Avalugg

A-Sandslash needs another Ice Type in the team to make it faster and boost its SpD with Aurora Veil, but who would want to have two ice typed Pokemon (despite having Steel and Fairy secondary typing) on a team... doomed to fail.
Vanilluxe on the right team became quite viable and I use one myself.

both. Stealth Rock and Stone Edge being coverage practically every fucking Ground pokemon gets is one of the reasons Ice is so fucked as a type. Fighting too, why is that Fighting gets to hit 5 types super effectively? That 5 types resist it is fake balance

People care so much about bug not having anymore resisted hits, while grass has the same amount of resisted hits as bug.
