God this gen was good to us frostfags. I just wish memefreak would give us an update on the type chart

For real though, I lovethe new toys they keep giving us, like Freeze Dry, Aurora Veil, better Snow Warning distribution, Slush Rush etc, but the one thing we need is some fucking resistances

Also here's the Sandshrew one. Like them both equally, it's kind of sad that it loses the iglo pattern but at the same time icicle spikes are just as cool, makes for a good line if both the pre-evo and evo are equally likeable.

They just need to keep going with the fast Ice types like Weavile, Ninetales and the slush rushers. And if they do slow ones give them stuff like Ice Shard. Ice is one a good way to redeem itself, it still needs some time for recovery though.

Im just sad that it's quite bad in-game, need to keep Shellder at lvl 56 otherwise only move remainder can save it.

forgot the pic

I think just a water resistance would go a long way for Ice types.

>>33509974
No, it really wouldn't. You want a resistance to Ground and Fairy. Resisting Scald is pointless because it still burns you.

>>33510053
Why would a primarily special attacking type fear burns? Resisting fairy would literally make no sense.

Didn't grow on me, really feel that the design could have been better

It was the first previously unseen Pokemon that stuck out to me when the Alola dex first leaked and the design is right up my alley. Instantly became one of my all-time favourites.

>>33510106
I've never used it but I love the premise of a yeti crab as a literal mountain-dwelling yeti. It being ugly just sells that theme more effectively.

Gen 4 as fuck, absolutely disgusting.
