>>45808571I was thinking about giving Ice a Poison resistance, and then balancing the now-nerfed Poison by making Fighting weak to it. (No matter how strong you are, you're vulnerable to disease.)
Also, in first gen Fire was bad against Ice, no? I can understand the reasoning for both making Fire good against Ice as well as making it bad against Ice, so how about making it neutral instead?
Or perhaps just making Dragon bad against Ice?
It's true that Fairy is pretty OP and it'd be a good way to balance it by having Ice resist it, but could it be reasonably justified? I guess it could be as well, seeing as the only reason I can think of as to why Fairies are good against Dragons in the first place is that "nothing can beat a myth, other than another myth".
So, maybe make Ice resist Water, Poison, Fairy and MAYBE Dragon, and remove Fire-type weakness? Ice would still have the four weaknesses it currently has, with the added indirect benefit of Fighting being now weak to Poison and thus a bit less common.
