How do we save the Ice type?

>>32393285
There is literally no salvation for ice types as long as they continue to be made SLOW AND DEFENSIVE. Like seriously, is this some kind of internal joke?

>Ice resists itself, Ground and Flying, instead of just itself.
>More fast and/or offensive Ice-types, less slow and/or defensive Ice-types.
>Hail boosts the defence or special defence of Ice-types, like how Sandstorm boosts the special defence of Rock-types.
>Reduce the number of Pokémon of other types who can learn Ice-type moves (especially Water-types).
Fixed it.

>>32393285
By melting them and turning into superior Water-types

There was seriously no Ice specialist in SM?

There was one, but she's not from Alola.

MAYBE Lillie

>>32393285
Better question, why bother saving Ice-type? It's shit, so let it remain shit. I propose we buff Fire, Dragon and Electric instead.

>>32393330
He's talking about the type, not type specialists.

>>32393285
we git gud.
srsly.

there are plenty of good ice type pokemon considering their relative rarity. if anything, its water type that needs saving. and scald did that.

resist flying and ground

Imagine how different shit would be if ice resisted some of the best attacking types

>>32393299
>Ice-types now either resists the Fighting-type or have an ability exclusive to Ice-types that boosts their bulk (this is because Icebergs are very resistent and don't break that easy)
>Ice Body also reduces the damage of all moves by 50% if the user is under Hail
>Snow Cloak now also boosts the accuracy of the user by 10% (because if the user cloaks itself duribg the hail that also means that the opponent can't see well the user so the user has the advantage of more accurate attacks)

Hail should boost ice attacks by 1.5x

>>32393318
That's going to be Lillie in the third version.

Either remake the type chart or make more pokémons like this.

>>32393285
>Ice now resists Fairy
>Hail now gives all Ice-type Pokemon 1.5x Speed

>>32393285
Ice now resists Dragon-types and is immune to Fairy-types. In addition, every time Gamefreak thinks of slow, defensive Ice-type every one of their employees suffers debilitating pain.

>>32393285
Who's the dragon guy?
I don't remember seeing him.

>>32394932
>immune

no resist

no reason for immune

I can't be the only one that thinks Ice should offensively beat Fire, just as Fire offensively beats Ice. They should be weak to eachother.

That doesn't fix Ice type but still.

All that is needed.
Still think Wicke was supposed to be fought as an Ice specialist.

Resists Water and Ground.

>>32394974
Ice used to be neutral against fire

Ryuki. You'll be able to face him after you win the elite four rematches.

Make them resist Water (because it just freezes against them), Ghost (because what's ghostly chill gonna do?) and Poison (because slow metabolism).

The type doesn't need any offensive buffs. Ice attacks are already popular, just not Ice Pokémon.
