Honestly someone should make an image explaining everything wrong with/how gamefreak keeps shitting on ice types
>resists nothing, meaning the only benefit of being ice type is STAB and hail immunity, worst defensive type
>good offensively, but most ice beam is learned by a lot of other Pokemon, including a lot of bulky water types, which are way better defensively
>due to resisting nothing, it pairs awfully with most types, only adding weaknesses and leading to a lot of quad weaknesses against common attacking types like fire and fighting
>despite their stats, most ice types are designed to be slow and bulky, despite the typing being awful for tanks
>hail is the worst weather easily, no power boost, no defense boost, all it does is do 1/16th damage per turn and make blizzard 100% accurate
>never buffed hail, even after they buffed sand for rock types, and in gen 7 when they tried to buff it with aurora veil, it just gave a niche to alolan ninetales by it being the only viable user of it due to auto hail
>always only found mid-late game in every fucking region. Pretty sure USUM are the only games that actuaally have a couple ice types near the beginning of the game
>only type without a specialist in alola
>least Pokemon of any type
Did I miss anything?
