>least common type, outnumbered by one introduced last gen

I think they only made 1 new Ice Pokemon because of the two Alolan Pokemon lines that are Ice type.

>>32106827
That's still only 5 new ice pokemon.

Stay mad icefag. Bet you like bug types too.

>>32106909
Some types get 3 or less. 5 is not a terrible amount.

Alola nonetales and sandslash are fun to use in tandem. Just have fun with ice types.

>expecting a lot of ice types in hawaii

>>32108652
As much as I hate tripfags, this is a super solid point

>ice and ghost are outnumbered by fairy
>ice doesnt resist grass, ground, flying, dragon, or water
>every water type is just a better ice type
>only 3 ice pokemon are viable but are still outclassed almost every time
>hail is just a worse sandstorm, even with slush rush
fucking kill me

>>32108768
but if we kill you, you'll never live to see Ice types finally receive buffs never ever


How's Cryogonal doing with the HP and Defense buffs? I imagine it's still nothing special but it did receive a hefty amount

>>32108795
it still hits weak, moves slow, and dies to any special fire move (all of them) or a single focus blast/flash cannon
good thing it has attract

Seriously, just make it SE against Water, and then remove its weakness to Water, and you're golden.

>>32108850
I think you meant physical there
but at the same time
>252+ SpA Life Orb Tapu Lele Focus Blast vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Cryogonal: 289-341 (95.6 - 112.9%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
shame

Was kind of hoping it could meme counter some OU Pokemon such as Therian, but ah well

>>32108893
Ice isn't weak to water tho and Ice already has Freeze-Dry. What would Freeze-Dry do if Ice was SE on Water naturally?

Why?
