>>38670408It depends on a few factors, namely whether we'll have a large Pokedex this time (we had plenty of Ice-types in Alola, but most of them were older Pokemon), and if we get something like Megas or regional variants that will drastically reduce the species count,.
>>38670609True, but this changed starting in Gen VI.
Bagon - XY, SM, USUM
Axew - XY
Tyrunt - XY (fossil)
Noibat - USUM
We had a few early-game Ice-types as well, such as;
- Smoochum: USUM
- Delibird: SM, USUM (barely counts though)
- Amaura: XY
Probably with early-game Ice-types is that freeze is an OP status.
