"Ice-Type is bad. How do we fix it?"


Hello all,I love ice-types. I love the aesthetic, I love the theme, and I want to use them! But sadly it is easy to see that they are NOT viably competitively. Ice-type moves do find their way onto teams as tech moves, but Ice-type Pokemon are sadly relegated to the sidelines.So how do we fix Ice-type?I have a few ideas.Make Ice-type super effective against Water.Water is an S-tier typing. It only has 2 weaknesses and a ton of utility. Thematically, water vs. ice could go in nearly ANY direction with effectiveness and resistances. I am arguing that Ice should be super-effective against Water for balancing and thematic purposes.Create a freezing status move.NO status move in the game causes freezing as its primary ability, and moves like Ice Beam or Blizzard only cause freezing RARELY. I believe it may be the rarest status condition in the game. By creating a Will-O-Wisp or Thunder Wave for Freezing, Ice-types gain a TON of utility as control focused mons despite having weak defenses.Add more resistances.Ice resists only Ice. It sadly resists no other types, making it possibly the weakest defensive type in the game. Any ice type because of this is extremely likely to get OHKOd. By adding a resistance to an A or S tier type, such as Dragon, Flying, or Water, Ice gets a slight edge that can take it from NEVER USED to VIABLE.What are your thoughts? What would you change? I WANT to use Ice-types, but right now it just doesn't make sense.Let's make this happen. Ice-type CAN Work. via /r/pokemon https://ift.tt/3rbBX1V
