>All of the introduced ice types are very strong competitively, two of them even considered broken
>Slowking gets Chilly Reception which pairs perfectly with ice types
>Snow replacing hail, no more chip damage in exchange for a def boost is a winning trade
>Ice Spinner is a widely available coverage move and STAB option
>Arguably one of the types that benefits the most from Terastal. Expect Baxcalibur to be its main abuser. Remember all the jokes about "If Kyurem-B had better movepool and typing?" Now you can do that
>aesthetically none of them can be considered on the level of the most controversial designs in this generation and overall they have their fans
On the bad side a lot of ice types didn't make the dex cut and some of them like Weavile got nerfed badly from the loss of moves via transfer. Though these are issues that affect more or less all types.
