>>32727382>>32727390These are good points, -- obviously making an Ice type defensive is a setup for failure, -- but still, they should do it.
Hail and Sandstorm were always sort of counterparts, like Sunny Day and Rain Dance were. They both do indirect damage to things that aren't a certain type.
The 50% physical defense boost would be very appreciated by Ice types. Steel, Rock, and Fighting moves are all more often physical than not. It would be very nice.
It also makes more sense. The idea being that the Ice pokémon uses the hail and snow around them to add on to their body, thus raising their defensive capabilities. Rather than sandstorm, which raises Rock type's special defense because....reasons.
>>32727408Nah, they're right. If there's a single good defensive Ice type out there, (there isn't,) it's Avalugg.
