>>54233308Ice is actually a very good type in the first generation. It hits Dragon, Flying, Grass and Ground for super effective damage and is only resisted by Water and Ice Pokemon. Blizzard can be easily placed in the top 5 best non-status moves due to its amazing power-to-accuracy ratio and broken side effect.
On the defensive side, Ice is only weak to Fighting, Fire and Rock while only resisting itself. It looks bad until you consider that Fighting type has only underwhelming Submission, Rock type has only Rock Slide (which is mainly learned by Pokemon weak to Blizzard) and Fire type struggle with the fact that half of Ice types are partially Water.
