Because Swinub is cute.

>>33222181
There is none Ice as a type for a pokemon is shit. Ice type for moves is good.
And is is now the rarest type.

>What is the point in using Ice-types?

Ice is cool.

>>33222181
Landorus is x4 weak to ice.

Need a random thread to find out where >>33222222 leads to.

>>33222181

What if they nerfed freeze's effects, but made it a status that you could actually inflict more reliably? Like it would last for 4 turns, and guarantee crits, or reduce special attack, and there could be an ice type will o wisp.

Fuck this luck based sleep rip off we currently have

Terrible may be a bit harsh, but it's really not great. Ice type pokemon often have shallow movepools, steel rules the metagame, and dragons have less of a presence thanks to fairy. Fairy is now the dragon killing type, at least there are still ground types ice can deal with kind of, but the ground types probably have stone edge, its more reliable to just have one ice attack on a water type pokemon

Stop complaining that Ice as a Pokemon Type isn't overpowered.

>>33222181

>most Psychic type pokemon can learn ice moves anyway

No, they can't. You're thinking of Thunderbolt.

Say that again in front of my face and see what happens.

>>33223127
No one will stop complaining as long as you keep using that 'meme'

>>33223127
Obviously there is underpowered and overpowered only. You can't just make Ice Types balanced.

Depends. Weavile with ice punch is op.

>>33223217
If I'm using a monotype grass team and/or have no fighting Pokémon or Pokémon with fighting moves, then sure.

>>33223119
Ice is literally the Ground killing type.

>>33222181
Hoge

>>33222181
whats the point in using any type? i like glalie/froslass/abomasnow/weavile so even if theyre not OP pokemon im still going to use them

>>33223796
No, I agree. It's just that I don't see a point in doing so on competitive battle.

>>33223732
How? when there are other types that kill ground much better considering it usually being paired with rock type.

>>33224379
Do you not play competitively or something? Ice is almost always used as a coverage for hidden power to nail ground types on the switch.

>>33224406
>Ground-type on the switch

Be specific. Its for Lando-T almost exclusively, Ground/Flying types in general if you want to make it seem like its that notable.

Really Ice has gotten a lot better with the addition of Freeze-Dry to its repertoire. Fuck Water-types

>>33222181
>terrible offensively
It's actually pretty good offensively, it's just that Gamefreak can't design Ice-types worth a damn. They also got usurped as Dragonkillers in the form their weaknesses getting stronger moves and Fairies.

>>33222181
>>Terrible offensively
are you fucking insane?

>>33224406
That's largely because most of the ground types in the metagame have a secondary type that makes them 4x weak to ice and Landorus-T is on 40% of teams.

>>33224782
Read the whole thread before making dumb comments.
