As of gen 7, there are 40 Ice-type Pokémon or 5.0% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ice-type in at least one of their forms, including Alola Forms), making it the rarest type.

Out of those 40, there is only ONE that is competitive, who is pictured. Why is that, /vp/?

Where is Cloyster, the B- rank in Ubers? And A-Ninetales is OU just because of Aurora Veil, the ice type actually hiders it.

Hail is the worst weather by far

For some reason they never decided to fucking buff it but they buffed Sand to give special defense to rock types so there's no fucking reason hail cant give ice types a boost

But no they decide to instead give hail Aurora Veil which only one fucking pokemon can viably use

Can do well in Ubers =/= is Ubers by nature. Cloyster currently sits at RU.

"by nature" just means it's used often. It just fits well into the Ubers metagame and not OU, just like Shedinja used to. And ever since, like, gen 5, there's been several UU Pokemon that are completely OU viable but just aren't used often enough to be called OU, such as Azelf in gen 6

Aurora Veil is an Ice type move, given to Ice types, to be accompanied by the Ice type weather condition that is automatically set up by some Ice types exclusively

I'd say the ice type is a pretty big blessing for it in this case

Ice type expert here. More Ice type Pokemon are viable than both the one you think and the others posted in this thread. The problem is, many of them require Aurora Veil in order to either pad their stats, or at the very least, have some form of sustain in a meta dominated by steel types. Also, many aren't viable in singles due to the nature of Ice types (one resistance, four weaknesses at least). However, Ice types have incredible stats and Ice as a type itself is effective against some of the most common types in the game and the meta. Ice types were the original dragon slayer. There's still a lot of untapped potential in Beartic, Dewgong, Cryogonal and Lapras thanks to Aurora Veil A-Ninetails, people just don't see it. Also A-Ninetails is the bread and butter for all Ice-type teams.
