If this wasn't good competitively, no one would like this Type. It's boring and uninspired.

Pretty much this. Steel was unnecessary and warped the entire type chart around trying to break through it.

It was necessary though, because it did two things. It nerfed Ice, which was way too strong in gen 1, and it buffed Fire, which was pathetic when it was introduced.

But they rebalanced type matchups anyway in gen 2 outside of dark/steel. Why make a new type when you can just rebalance the existing types themselves? It’s unnecessary.

So why not just nerf Ice and buff Fire directly, retard. You don’t need to make a new type for that.
>make Ice resisted by an existing type
>make Fire resist Ice
>make Fire SE on another type
There. You’ve balanced fire and ice without needing to make an overpowered meme type.

Make it so rock-types absorb stealth rocks upon being sent in. Maybe even have them recover HP.
Boom. Instantly viable.

Steel was unironically my favorite type Gens 4-7, only recently getting edged out by Ghost again, which was my favorite in Gens 1-3.

It literally was. It only had 2 weakness, and Rhydon is the only thing in OU that ever runs Rock Slide or Submission. Fire is so bad in gen 1 it isn't even worth mentioning. The only types that resisted Ice at all were itself and Water.

Then I guess ice types dominated the meta. I imagine the legendary ice type was top drawer

Ice types were all shit in general.
Ice moves were the real hotness.

Ice wasn't strong in gen 1, Blizzard was strong because it had 90% accuracy and Fire didn't resist it.

Exactly. So Ice type wasn’t good let alone busted.

As for the moves, the cancer is every water type having ice beam

Cloyster was top tier because it could tank Tauros crits and STAB blizzard.
Lapras was top tier because its bulk and STAB Blizzard.
Jynx was top tier because it resisted Psychic, had the best sleep move in the game, and had STAB Blizzard.

Articuno isn't bad because of its typing in gen 1, it's bad because it has literally no moves outside of Blizzard. It can Toxic stall, but Toxic in gen 1 sucks. As for Dewgong, it gets Surf and Body Slam, but why use a worse Lapras when you can use Lapras and get access to an actual movepool?
