>Ice now resists grass, flying, dragon, bug, water, ground, electric, and fairy
>Ice now immune to itself

Will this be enough to fix the Ice type? Or will it still be shit?
>>
>>32243424
I think that's a bit overblown. Remove its resistances against Fairy, Water, and Electric.
>>
>>32243424
water melts ice
>>
Nah. Not resist.
More super effectiveness instead. Super effective against Fairy and Dark for no other reason but muh balance is a start.
>>
>Ice now resists grass, flying, dragon, bug, water, ground, electric, and fairy
>Ice now immune to itself
This is a bit much desu

>>32243530
>super-effective against 6 types
That would just buff water types with ice beam. I'd rather just give ice one less weakness, another resistance, and more offensive mons.
>>
>Adding all those resistance

Maybe ice should resist and be super effective to water. All the other resistances and immunity make no intuitive sense.

Ice is supposed to be a fragile glass cannon type. It's supposed to be weak against many and super effective against many.

The real problem is all water pokemon having access to ice moves, making ice pokemon obsolete.
>>
>>32243424
>Ice now resists grass
No.

Go home.
>>
>>32243424
I think Ice should resist Fairy (just like Fire resists it) and Ground (EQ resistance would be killer). Dragon would be cool too but Fairy might have hurt them enough.
>>
>>32243584
>Ice is supposed to be a fragile glass cannon type
says who? Gamefreak? The abundance of defensive ice types says otherwise.
>>
>>32243424
It resists Brave Bird so fuk you
>>
>>32243424
that is way too good desu
have it resist itself, water, fairy and dragon but we dont need to make bug and grass worse offensive typings than they already are

ice freezes water

Do you even science?
>>
>>32243424
>Kicking bug and grass in the balls again

Ice-type doesn't need fixing, it needs more attackers like Weavile and Mamoswine that can abuse the type's offensive prowess.
>>

>>32244379
>>32243480
It depends on the quantities retards. An ice cube in a glass of water will melt. A glass of water poured onto ice will freeze.
>>
I think you broke weavile/ninetales/kyurem/froslass
>>
>>32243424
>let's give ice more resistances than steel
are you fucking retarded
>>
>>32244936
That's still less than Steel
>>
>>32244765
"Water melts ice" is just as wrong as "ice freezes water".

It depends on quantity of temperature of both.
Tbh I think Ice should be SE against water because if you cool down water it literally becomes ice. The "ice can be melted" argument is kinda bad because water attacks are not supposed to be hot water. Fire is already SE against ice.
>>
>Let's make an offensive type defensive
No. We need more Weaviles, the type is fine Game Freak is just retarded.
>>
>>32245040
Water has a higher heat capacity than ice though. It's harder to freeze water than it is to melt ice. People who want ice to be SE against water are retards who are giving ice buffs in the wrong direction.
>>
>>32243424
the best idea is
>resist flying, dragon, and ground
>remove waters resistance
>less water types with ice moves
>more ice types with ice shard
>nerf freeze to be like sleep
>insta-freeze move with shit accuracy that only ice types can learn
>>
>Water melts Ice, lol

Let's remember that Ice pokemon aren't inert chunks of ice, they actively lower their own temperature.
>>
Ice should be super effective against fire.
Just look at every other RPG.

Not to mention this won't buff water types at all.
>>
>>32245040
>Scald becomes super-effective against Ice
>>
Just remove Ice's weakness to Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Those only make sense with literally made of ice Pokemon like Regice and Cyogonal anyway. Ice-types are no longer completely fucked defensively, but aren't overloaded with resistances like Steel-types.
>>
>>32245040
>because water attacks are not supposed to be hot water
>room temp water cant melt anything
wrong
>>
>>32244936
Nigga steel resists everything that isn't Water, Electric, Fire, Ground, or Fighting

Ice got the hero it deserved this gen. More mons with Snow Warning, the intro of Slush Rush, and Aurora Veil. Sure it'll take one or two gens before we get mons that can be good while making use of this, but it's definitely a start.

Avalugg does not a defensive type make.

Ah yes, just what Hydreigon needed; another 4x Weakness.
>>
>>32250286
funny how all of those pokemon you listed are fucking terrible
ice is a shit defensive typing, gf needs to stop trying to make it one
>>
>Make Bug SE on and resist fairy, neutral on ghost and poison
>make ice resist fairy, water, ground, and dragon
>make rock resist ground, electric
>make electric neutral or SE on steel

Does this fix everything?
