>>45748677I think Articuno would be a lot better is it traded statblocks with Zapdos (100 Speed and 125 SpA is godly) and and had Snow Warning as an ability (for accurate Blizzards) instead of shitty defensive Snow Cloak ability. It is sad GF think Ice is a defensive type and keeps making slow and defensive ices.
>>45748686Not really, it;s bad defensivesly (which sucks for Articuno sicne it has defensive stat distribution and defensive abilities) but Ice/Flying is great Offensive coverage. Flying lets you fuck over those pesky Fighting types that usually threaten Ice pokemon and destroys annoying Bugs too. And Ice compliments Flying as well because it lets you wreck Dragons and other Flying types. You could do better, offensively, but it's still pretty solid. Imagine for a moment if Deoxys were Ice/Flying instead of Mono-Psychic (with appropriate movepool changes to accommodate. For instance, Psycho Boost being a Flying type move and it learning Blizzard and Ice Punch by level up). It would be a fucking terror, arguably even more than it was already. Ice/Flying is perfectly fine on an offensive pokemon.
