>>36521512>I figure these resists make sense because Ice is SE against them anyway.I don't agree with the grass resistence, that type has enough issues on the offensive side, don't make them worse and resisting Dragons isn't exactly a valid thing when dragon attacks are just special snowflake fire attacks (i mean just look at Draco Meteor), the rest of those resistences though, they're fine
>More coverageThis would only make the few ice-types that are already good a lot better while lower tier ice-types just get into low-tier borderlines. But hey, i'm all in for Regice learning Recover so it gives Blissey some competition as a special wall or Cloyster getting more moves that can take advantage of Skill Link or Freeze Dry for every ice-type
>Better abilitiesSlush Rush is a really good ability, its just that its tied to mons with bad coverage like Beartic. If anything, some ice-types should get Magic Guard or Magic Bounce so Stealth Rock doesn't fuck them over, Articuno would love Magic Guard
>Boost HailHail already has aurora veil and it doesn't help ice-types that much, its the reason A-Ninetales is OU but having Hail mimic sandstorm and give Def instead of SpDef + higher chance of freezing would be neat
>Stop making defensive ice-typesThis more or less contradicts your statement about giving more resistences, some slow-ice types like Avalugg would LOVE having more resistences, hell Alolan Sandslash would enjoy not dying to earthquakes. But i will say that some stat spreads need to be fixed like Articuno, why out of the entire bird trio, Articuno was the only one who recieved a nerf in SpAtk during the special split in gen 2 still bothers me.
Sadly the most that would come from Ice-types getting buffed is just Kyurem-Black getting suspect tested into Ubers and regular Kyurem give company to Staraptor as a Borderline mon that would be amazing in UU
