>>45369581Gamefreak has some very autistic standards for ice types getting fire type moves (froslass took the longest time to get willowisp just for this reason) or moves having to do with hot water such as scald, to the point the only ice type that learns scald is crabominable like
>>45369601 said, and that's only because crabrawler isn't an ice type and it's a crab = sealife = water move. Even if it's a special move it can't properly use, even if it doesn't make much sense because it's based on a terrestrial crab that dies underwater, but still somehow makes more sense than an actual water type that can travel across any sea warm or cold just because it's part ice type (with no good reason for the ice typing either, just like half the other ice types of gen 1), that apparently makes sense to gamefreak.
That said, lapras gets freeze dry and sparkling aria now, both good moves.
