Is she good now?

But scald is super effective, deal

If Icefags don't like scientific reasoning for Water not to be weak to Ice, why don't (you) explain why Ice should resist water and don't use scientific reasoning. Or better yet, explain why Ice should be SE against Water like so many Icefags want it to be.
>Scald now hits ice super effectively like freeze dry does to water types.

I hope Gamefreak makes Ice weak to more things next gen just to spite you annoying faggots.
>>32822371
God please no. They cry bad enough as it is
>>32822177
buffing ice offensively would just mean buffing water though.

>Ice moves now turn any water type into an ice type for the duration of the game. (Unless hit by/using scald or fire move.)

>Water is now weak to Poison
>Ice now resists Flying, Grass, Ground and itself and is immune to Water
>boost Freeze-dry to 90BP and make all Ice types learn by level up
>Ice Beam nerfed to 75 BP, making it literally just Special Ice Punch
>Hail lowers accuracy of Fire, Fighting, Steel and Rock moves
Freeze is now Special Attack Burn instead of shitty Sleep and more Ice moves get 30% Freeze chances and a Freeze status move ala Will o Wisp
>Grass now immune to Fairy, gains 1/16 HP automatically and sun/rain and 1/8 in intense sun/heavy rain, and Leaf Guard is now a constant status immunity outside of sun while becoming Solid Rock/Filter in the sun
>Rock immune to Water and all Rock Pokémon that have dex entries talking about how they don't like water get the ability "Hydrophobia" where they lose all of their weaknesses in exchange for a 4x Water weakness
>Bug now either neutral or SE to Fairy and no longer resisted by Fire or Fighting
>>32821130
>resists water, bug, fairy, flying, ground, electric
Is it finally defensive and good /vp/?
>>32822803
This is why nobody on this site should touch the type chart with a 10ft pole.
>>32821130
I'd just make it the designated "magic killer."
Make it resist and beat Fairy and resist Dragon.
>>32823029
Why?
>>32822803
I feel like I've seen this post before.
>>32823223
You probably have.
It's a list I've compiled of all the best ideas I've seen and my own personal ideas on how to balance the types and more.
>>32823236
Yeah, now I remember. It stuck in my mind from being so fucking garbage.
>>32822803
everything here is retarded
remove waters resistance to ice, leave it neutral for both
let ice resist grass, ground, flying, and dragon instead
if scald does double damage to ice types now like the thread suggests, make ice types immune to the burn status it inflicts. for balance reasons, they can make fire types immune to freeze if they want
nerf freeze status to be like sleep where it lasts for 2 turns almost always, and make a 75% accuracy move exclusive for ice types that freezes. smogon can add another sleep clause if they want to.
