Gen 8 murdered this type competitively. It's even worse than pre-gen 8 ice for fuck's sake. How do we fix it? Hard mode: no ice coverage to replace Hidden Power.

Also Rotom-W and that's only because of Levitate.

Everything else suffers from shit coverage and a typing that looks good defensively on paper but it's weak to EQ.

Being weak to Earthquake would be fine, I mean Poison and Steel do well defensively, but Electric barely resists anything. Just itself, Steel, and Flying. Flying is a good resist to be fair but it needed more. Still better than Ice defensively though.

Buff the mons directly, the actual type itself is fine. There isn't a balance issue like with Psychic where it's a genuinely bad type overall, and it's only being carried by psychic terrain and psyshock, and some of the psychic type mons themselves.

It's the price for having a single weakness and for being the better offensive type vs water I guess

Agreed Psychic could use some help but GF probably still hasn't forgiven them for being broken in gen 1 so don't count on any buffs for the type anytime soon.

The removal of Pursuit is a huge buff for Psychic types.

Well duh you're making it impossible to fix the main issue with the type then.

Psychic is basically cucked by fairy types, since fairy types can beat both fighting and dark types.
Honestly the best way to fix this is to give Fairies a weakness to psychic, psychic still doesn't resist fairy. Oh and on the topic of the fairy type, give ice a resistance to them Give ice a resistance to ground as well but don't make fairy weak to ice.
There, 3 types fixed in one go.

True.
>>41679297
The changes you suggested would make Psychic & Ice worth using more. The only thing I would change is Psychic not resisting Fairy. right now Psychic only resist fighting and itself, so it getting a resist against Fairy moves would help a lot.
