Top tier Ice type design

Literally, are there any other ways to create good Pokemon made out of Ice that isn't yokai or animal with put Ice Ice-type on it?

Avalugg is excellent in PU. Great defensive bulk, reliable recovery, enough attack to be threatening to anything which would try to set up on it (and the movepool to fulfill the role), and Sturdy+Mirror Coat as a gimmick to take out special attackers or deal with mixed mons. It would be UU at worst with any other typing.

There are some mons which are forgettable because they're completely overshadowed other by mons with the same typing and better stats (e.g. Luvdisc), or with extremely narrow gimmicks (e.g. Lumineon being the only PU non-flying type with Defog). Avalugg has a really cool stat distribution and movepool which makes it great for gimmicky sets, so I don't think it's 'literally who' tier.

Try reading the rest of the post aloud to yourself, so that you understand it. That might help you.

that still doesn't make it not forgettable
it maybe would't be the case if more people cared about inverse battle

>forgetting shiftry, volbeat, illumise, all the silvally forms, rotom-frost, castform, drampa, lurantis, beedrill and carnivine

Now I'm not saying all those are viable or can viably run defog. Did you mean Gen 6 or Gen 5 pu? Even then there's prinplup.

maybe that it was a chance to improve ice? like giving it more resistances or remover rock weakness since everything relevant for online battles is already weak to rock on its own?
instead ice stays as something that is a good offensive type, but its better used by anything but fucking ice types

don't watch the shitty anime but let me guess, they made it a super fast rapid spinner because everything must be "teleports behind you" fast in anime

No, it was a slow bulky ice type running stone edge and avalanche that completely countered Ash's pure hyper attack team of Hawlucha, Talonflame amd Ash-greninja and solo'd them
