other than itself, ice type now resists:
-flying (most bird species migrate to avoid cold climates)
-grass (expansion of water now frozen chews through concrete, let alone plant matter, and heavily suppresses a plant's ability to transport water)
-electric (ice is either an insulator, or very poor conductor)
-water (it's the heat of the water which melts the ice, which is the fire type's property)

There, type is fixed now.

You'd have to weaken it offensively to counter balance this brutal buff wave. I get that the ice type is competitively useless, unless the mon has a way of bypassing its innate shittiness with super speed or crazy utility, but this would make it the best.
>>
>>58924149
Rock, Steel and Fighting-type moves as well as Fire-type moves now break Frozen status for both the user and the target
Sheer Cold fails against anything that resists Ice
Fire gets its own Aurora Veil equivalent and OHKO move
>>
>>58924245
>taking shit like sheer cold into account
do singleplayer goys really>
>>
>>58924084
I agree with OP on the grounds that ice currently only resists itself but has 4 weaknesses.

Its such an odd type. Offensively powerful against 4 other types and ineffective against 4 types. But defensively weak against 4 types and only resistant against itself. What the fuck were they thinking?
>>
>>58924084
it should resist dragon ground and flying
>>
>>58924262
OHKO moves are bullshit, but if you're gonna have them, may as well pass them around

>>58924321
>steel and fairy get to resist everything, the latter even gets to be a good offensive type as well
>ice is still weak to everything but like it's op now that it like resists a few things, 99% of the ice type should remain unused like it is now
>>
>>58924325
When even 1 or 2 type chart changes can completely change the game, yes, giving one type 4 new resistances is ridiculous. Ice is an offensive focused type so comparing its resistances to Steel is pointless, and Fairy being too strong isn't an excuse to overtune another type, it's only risking more problems.
>>
>>58924325
>steel and fairy get to resist everything
neither of those types get SE damage against 5 different types, perfect unresisted coverage with a single other move, a 1HKO move, weather that boost its defense, the most broken status condition in the game, and a 100% accurate spread 110 damage move

also resisting 4 types isn’t “resisting everything”
>>
>>58924325
ok and?
>>
Ice should resist both dragon and fairy
There i said it
>>
>>58924084
Just make it resist grass and water, no need to do all that. In return, make grass resist fairy, cementing it as a the defensively oriented type that it feels like it was always meant to be. Water and fairy deserve these moderate nerfs so no further changes are required.
>>
>>58924367
Or alternatively you change nothing and retarded campaignshitters like OP just learn how to play the game instead.

It does desperately need some buffs, but not this much.

2/4 of these is fine.
>>
>>58924401
>It does desperately need some buffs
no it doesn’t
>>
>>58924407
The only usable ice archetype is a fast offensive one, that's it. Said archetype is also heavily crowded. If it doesn't reach +100 speed and 120 offense, it will never get past PUBL

It’s amazing how campaignshitters are so close to getting it, but they lack just enough self awareness that they still can’t get there.

For every 1 cloyster, there are 100 zero usage ice type shitmons that do not have access to
shell smash
skill link
icicle spear
rock blast
at the same time

This thread is so full of Latinx right now...
>>
>>58924472
a fairy type does not need skill link shell smash king's rock in order to be ou viable, it can be good even with shit stats like clefable
an ice type has to be a oneshot machine else it is useless
this is universally agreed upon
I am done talking to retarded pedozoophile niggers such as yourself.

but not only that, cloyster is NUBL, even that is not enough, kill yourself, moron
>>
>>58924488
>a fairy type does not need skill link shell smash king's rock in order to be ou viable,
you're right it just needs 170 attack stat, 148 speed stat, and an ability that boosts attack upon switch in in order to be ou viable
>>
>>58924431
None of those mons are viable in VGC either except for maybe Articuno, which won a recent regional but now it's already gone back to the cuck box with the shift to a restricted format.

nta, none of which are exclusive to the ice type
>>
>>58924504
>fire type is op because scald has a burn chance
>>
>>58924508
Snow Cloak and non-weakened Sheer Cold are exclusive to Ice types
King's Rock was only banned because of an Ice type
Iron Bundle was banned because it has unresisted STAB coverage, which is exclusive to its type
hope this helps
>>
>>58924515
evasion and ohkos are not exclusive to ice types, no
>>
>>58924515
king's rock was banned because a smogon mod got gaped hard and banned it out of rage
>>
>>58924515
>King's Rock was only banned because of an Ice type
Skill Link*
>>
>>58924515
All evasion abilities and OHKO moves are banned, this is not exclusive to Snow Cloak and Sheer Cold.
King's Rock ban was due to Cloyster's Skill Link ability abusing it.
Iron Bundle was banned due to its dragapult tier speed on top of its already amazing special attacking stats as well as the ability to tera out of bad matchups. If it were purely because of the typing you'd see Lapras in ubers.

>>58924779
Except this comparison doesn't work at all. It's like if you turned off all items except hammers and final smashes, and then someone said, "Wtf, why are those still on?" and then a million people at once replied with, "Fucking tourist, those are the identity of the metagame. If you ban those, then the metagame would be unrecognizable, and everyone would quit."
>>
>>58924084
Make Ice resist Fairy. That's it. Too cold for them.
Or if that's lame, make it resist Dragon instead.
>>
>>58924084
Cringe fan balancing aside, it's actually really telling how Frozen was reworked into a new status for one game and then reverted, and then Hail was reworked into a new weather immediately after, like they are trying so hard to figure out the Ice type without touching the typing's actual properties at all.
