>>34641800Ice type has genuine issues. Offensively it's great, it hits Dragon, Flying, Plant and Ground super effectively, but that power is tempered a bit by the ubiquitous presence of bulky Water types (Freeze Dry has shit distribution).
Defensively it sucks ass, it has only one resistance (itself) and four very common weaknesses in Fighting, Fire, Steel (thanks Fairies), and Rock.
None of this is helped by the fact that Game Freak retardedly insists on making most Ice types bulky defensively-oriented mons with shit coverage and 4x weaknesses, instead of high-speed glass cannons. You can't pair Ice type with ANY other type without generating either more weaknesses or a 4x weakness.
The only way to fix the type is A.) Change the design policy and make new Ice types glass cannons B.) give Ice types OP abilities to compensate (this is a band-aid fix) or C.) Change up the Ice type resistances to make the existing mons relevant.
