Name me one, one SINGLE ICE TYPE that wouldn't be better

Weavile

Weavile needs its Dark STAB senpai

Also Mamoswine needs EQ Stab

all forms of kyurem

By monotype I meant like if Mammoswine were pure Ground and Crygonal would be pure Normal.

I ask you this however: is that STAB boost really worth it? Yes, Weavile will die to most neutral hits anyway, but the Ice type gives it four extra weaknesses, one being a 4x weakness. Would it not overall be better if it were pure Dark?

Alolan Ninetales.
It needs the ice typing for snow warning and aurora veil.

Hitting harder simply matters more for a frail Pokémon than taking hits. The only upside of a pure Dark type Weavile is losing the Stealth Rock weakness. The same applies to Mamoswine.

Weavile & Mamo still

They work well because Ice is a great offensive typing and Dark / Ground are as well. Getting a priority Ice move was key to them being OU/UU in several gens

Cloyster. STAB Icicle Spear is godlike.

Really, any remotely offensive Ice type benefits from it.

Ice just suffers the same problem as Rock, where the typing is specced for offensive Pokemon, but it keeps getting stuck on slow, defensive Pokemon. Anything with a decent speed and offensive stat runs the type fine.

Case in point Tyranitar and that rock fighting bull thing from gen 5. Honourable mention to aerodactyl and megadactyl.

>Would it benefit from losing weaknesses when they're irrelevant because of it's frailty and losing useful STAB options despite being offensive in nature.

No.

is having STAB on the most useful move in the game worth it?

And M-Diancie and Nihilego. The latter kinda sucks in the current OU meta because of Dugtrio and the fact that everyone and their mother is over preparing for Diancie, but it's still one of the better Rock types.
