>Literally only 1 new original Ice Type and it's shit

Also literally one new Dark-type, only as a UB as well.

>>29837607
I feel ya, bro

>>29837607
Faggot you got slush rush, a bunch of buffed old ice types, and a couple of cool Alolan forms. Fuck off.

>>29837658
>Incineroar doesn't exist

>>29837684
my bad, forgot about him

he really shouldn't exist, though

Alola Ninetales is good, bro.

>>29837672
>scraps compared to what the bug type got.

>Alolan Ninetales is one of few Alolamons with a base speed above 100
>Access to STAB Moonblast
>Snow Warning + Blizzard
>Psychic Terrain immunizes it and friends to Bullet Punch

>Snowslash takes neutral damage from Stealth Rock, and has access to Icicle Crash, Rapid Spin, Earthquake, Iron Head, and much more
>It'll probably even learn Knock Off when Tutors arrive
>It got one of the best stat re-arrangements of any Alola Form
>Immune to the negative effects of both Sandstorm and Hail, with an okay base speed to take advantage of Slush Rush
>Even benefits from Rain since it weakens Fire-type moves
>Grassy Terrain weakens Earthquake, but it could easily run Rock Slide instead, or any other coverage move for that matter

Accept the fact that the best new Ice-types are redesigns of old Pokemon and move on.
Hail just needs a passive boost like Sandstorm does with Rock-types' SpDef.

i bet if i tell you that you got a move that's reflect + light screen under hail you'd just get mad because you don't actually like ice and just wanted to whine

>defensive strategies with Ice types

They really should have made it resist a few types at least.

You literally got the best Alolan Form

40KB, 452x420px

130 Attack with either doubled Speed in Rain or doubled Speed in Hail. Pick your poison.

>>29838128
Don't forget that Alolan Ninetales can learn Aurora Veil

>>29837607
>>Ice remains the worst type in the game
Nah nig, Grass still exists.

Aurora veil
slush rush
alola nine tales

Ice got some nice toys

>>29837607
Don't forget ice types still dont get a defense boost in hail

>>29838274
>reflect + light screen under hail
>under hail
>hail

hail is trash kek

>>29838512
Terrible bait. Grass is way better than Ice in both VGC and Showdown.

>>29838512
Dumb grassfag.

Has hail been tested for buffs yet?

>>29838512
You mean Bug.

>>29838512
What's with you grassfags and your victim complex? Grass is an amazing defensive type.

>not a single ub us fairy
That sucks

>>29839467
Good. I'm sick of them getting shoved down your throat. You already got the Tapus for your broken fairies dose this gen. What more do you want?

>>29839130
>weak to flying, ice, and fire, three of the most common attacking types
>weak to U-turn and now Leech Life
>introduction of fairies brought more poison type attacks into the metagame
>very few types actually benefit dual grass types defensively, most come with a glaring 4x weakness
Grass might not be as bad as Ice, but you've got to be kidding yourself if you don't think it has problems of its own.

>>29838488
Also don't forget it gets Freeze Dry, so it technically gets STAB Bolt/Beam without the bolt.

>>29841532
Wait, goddamnit, no it doesn't. Fucking misinformation has me second guessing everything I see.

>There are 49 Fairy types
>42 Ghost types
>And 40 Ice types
WHY THE FUCK IS THIS ALLOWED? Why are there more Pokemon of a new type than there are of types that were around since day 1?

>>29841532
>>29841636
Freeze-Dry is an Egg Move for Alolan Vulpix, alongside Moonblast.

>>29841702
Thank you based anon, I guess I must be blind.

All I want is an ice monotype run to be feasible.
Ghost is pretty feasible this gen from the looks of it, at least.

>>29839467
Good
>Primarina
>Shiinotic
>Ribombee
>Ninetales
>Mimikyu
>Tapu Koko
>Tapu Lele
>Tapu Bulu
>Tapu Fini
>Magearna

I love Fairy, but we have enough this gen. Let Poison type breathe a little.

>There's also six more Ghost-types from previous generations in Alola
There's probably even a Ghost UB or some other shit I don't know about. UBs are one of the few things I have been trying to avoid spoiling myself on.
Why is Alola so full of Ghosts?

Yeah, this just ain't right.
