>>50556646Darm-G gets the insanely busted ability in Gorilla Tactics, which is a free Choice Band, and stacking another Choice item doesn’t give any bigger penalties than not being able to switch moves.
Sandslash-A get a Steel typing and a much better movepool, on top of Hail abusers (not Ice type itself) being able to set Aurora Veil.
Ninetales-Alola gets a busted instant duel screens with Aurora Veil+Snow Warming, and regular Ninetales is straight up outclassed by Torkoal now.
Mr. Mime and Mr. Mime-G have literally less than 0.1% usage in VGC and Mr. Mime-G has a completely different set of abilities too, as well as being new.
Glastrier and Spectrier are nothing alike gameplay wise, retard. Never mind the fact Glastrier is PU and Spectrier is Ubers. Or never mind how Calyrex-Shadow has more usage in every format than Calyrex-Ice and is considered more viable. Glastrier also only saw that much usage before unrestricteds were allowed and VGC is a format where Trick Room is viable.
This is a great example of the low IQ of fags against buffing Ice or believing it’s fine as is.
Dracozolt and Arctozolt is a special case where Arctozolt somewhat anti-meta, but as time goes on, more people realize it’s not as remotely good as that 1 player using it thought it was. In every other format, including OMs based on OU, Arctozolt is no where to be seen.
Additionally, Arctovish is not even ranked while Dracovish is.
