The only reason people get mad at the term is because it’s so succinct.
>>
>>59130331
It is since its much harder to build your team around to even take advantage of. With Sand, you have Rock, Steel, Ground, Overcoat, Sand Rush, Magic Guard, and Safety Goggles. Hail was more limiting as instead of 3 types immune it was 1 type, the rarest type, and one with a ton of weaknesses too. So you couldn’t put Pokemon like Ferrothorn, Landorus-T, Tyrantiar on the same team together and cover each other’s weaknesses.

It has high defense stats and low speed, therefore it’s defensive according to campaignshitter logic

Oh that is not autism that is sheer contrariarism
>>
>>59130418
Anon, if you’re not using Ice types yourself, you don’t get the advantage since both sides are taking damage. It’s an even playing field. That’s why Sand stacked a few Rocks, Grounds, and Steels. To make sure they were actually at some advantage.
>>

in that it's entirely a single nutcase with far too many chips on his shoulder
>>
>>59130469
Low speed is High speed in Trick Room, which it gets.
>>
>>59130487
Running Snow Warning means I automatically have 1 less Pokemon on my team that takes Hail damage than my opponent, and I’m going into each game with the knowledge that Focus Sash won’t work while my opponent isn’t. Therefore there is always inherent advantage. You don’t play the game.

Because of powercreep, you had no reason to use those guys over Groudon and Kyogre, who dominated the weather and could sling out ludicrously powerful Eruptions and Water Spouts, moves that hit both opponents simultaneously.
Even Mega Rayquaza wasn't that big a deal for VGC because that meant you couldn't use Primal Groudon/Kyogre, so it was better to just use Mega Salamence alongside the Primals.

What disadvantage? Are we playing your fanfic campaignshitter version of the game where Hail only affects one side of the field?
>>
>>59131140
It's a drawback regardless of whether the other side suffers or not. That's the entire point of Weather and why Hail sucks, because you'll only get one mon that benefits from it while the rest would rather be without it. If you play with the mentality that "Well my Hail is only for Ninetales and my Sand is only for T -tar then you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what weather is meant to achieve as an mechanic, being to affect all pieces on the field for a duration regardless of which side they're on. The fact that you cannot understand that "it's fine if 5/6 mons take Hail chip damage as long as the opponent does too is absolutely horrible action economy." and so far you've only proven that it's worse than Sand in every way, which we already agree on.
>>
>>59130660
Turn your monitor on
>>
>>59131167
>It's a drawback regardless of whether the other side suffers or not
Why? Is it because you’re thinking like a campaignshitter and worried about chip damage adding up from multiple NPC fights? The actual game doesn’t work that way.
>>
Campaignshitter tip of the day: Rillaboom is a bad Pokemon because it puts you at a disadvantage from healing your opponent every turn
>>
>>59131199
>I preferred Hail to Snow because I like chip damage!
>but actually chip damage sucks!
Make up your god damn mind
>>
>>59131206
You're not using Rillaboom to set Grassy Terrain to heal it and its allies, if that was the point then it would indeed be shit since it also heals your opponent.
You're using it for that +1 priority Grass-boosted Grassy Glide.

>>59131237
Imagine trying to reason with a mentally ill subhuman beast.
>>
>>59131209
No one said chip damage sucks except for you and your fanfic you keep trying to force.

>>59131237
Yes just like you're using Hail for breaking Sash, Aurora Veil, accurate Blizzards, Snow Cloak, Slush Rush, etc
You're not very smart, are you campaign shitter?
>>
>>59131287
Then what was your point here >>59131199 if not to try to downplay chip damage?

>Sash
Niche in VGC, and if you insist it is very common then you have also robbed yourself of using it on your own team.
>accurate Blizzards
Blizzard gets a 30% accuracy buff, this is nowhere near Grassy Glide's 50% Damage buff +1 Priority buff
>Snow Cloak, Slush Rush,
Cannot be run if you run "Hail just for your Snow Warning Ninetales", if you have these abilities on your team together with Ninetales then you are making a dedicated Hail team, which is what you specifically said you weren't doing.
>Aurora Veil,
The only reason anyone ever attempted Hail teams, and GF's first attempt at making it not shit, but realizing it weren't enough decided to rework thewhole weatherentirely.
>>
The some of the best Ice types of the past few generations
>have an ability that's just a free Choice Band
>is a legendary that has two abilities
>is a pseudo legendary
>have minmaxed as shit stats
That's like saying Bug is good because there are two good Ultra Beasts that are bug, no shit Pokemon with pushed as fuck stats and abilities are good regardless of type. Ice types fill out some of the worst Pokemon in the game, while Fairy Pokemon while about as uncommon are on average better. And while a good number of new Fairy Pokemon are pushed as shit too, you've got shit like Clefable just being alright without it and even better with it (and a new ability just before that helped a lot too).
>>
>>59131356
My point there is that chip damage isn't a disadvantage. Learn how to read.

Why do campaignshitters always do this?
>>
>>59131437
>when I take chip damage it is hardly a drawback only if you play against countless NPCs in a row you campaignshitter!
>but when the opponent takes chip damage it is incredibly crippling for them
>objective advantages
Things like Snow Cloak and Slush Rush are factually impossible to run if you just run Hail for Ninetales, as you claimed. And if you do want to make a full Hail team then you're better off with Sand since it does everything Hail does but better except Aurora Veil. Aurora Veil also has better synergy with Snow than Hail, which is another point against you.

This is the bar to entry in VGC. Everything has something on par with these.
>b-but most Ice types are shit
Most Pokémon of any typing are shit. Yes, even Steel and Fairy. This is a general powercreep problem, and nothing specifically associated with Ice. Ice is generally better as a spam type to stack your team with than Fairy too, anyway, as we've seen from past VGC results.
>>
>>59130951

All of those mons mentioned received buffs in the years that Kyogre/Groudon remained unchanged, sans Rayquaza. Giratina itself was introduced after them. I think they're just shit, anon.

>This is the bar to entry in VGC
Yes, and you call it the “bar to entry in VGC” despite the fact no other Pokemon has Choice Band as an ability or 2 abilities at once, and there only being a handful of Power House Pokemon (official term btw, Psuedo is fanfic term)

Not really. Having chip damage is useful. Having two defense buffs is usually just overkill.

On one hand, yeah SV was pretty fucking bad about it, especially with Paradox Pokemon running around to begin with. On the other hand, there's still two starter Pokemon running around, Volcarona is there despite being an even worse typing, Whimsicott is there doing Grass support things, and fucking Clefairy is even getting popular. I don't think an Ice type has been on the World Champion team since like 2023 even (might have missed it), and I imagine if you do some stat calcs it will become apparent that the Ice type is a liability in a lot of cases where the Ice STAB barely makes up for the risk. If you want to check the footage on how often an Ice type Teras in proportion to every other type I'd be curious. It would be really fucking funny if it were disproportionate, like even they don't want to use an Ice type and it's there as a stat stick.

The notion that “Ice isn’t bad because X Ice type Pokemon is good” is a dumb fallacy.
Is 60 a good speed stat? No. It’s very slow and not even slow enough for Trick Room. You’ll get outsped by the vast majority of Pokemon.
Yet that’s the speed stat of Incineroar, the most common Pokemon in Doubles.
Does Incineroar being 60 Spe mean that 60 Spe is a good speed tier? It doesn’t. Incineroar is good DESPITE having a bad speed stat since it makes up for that bad speed stat in other areas.
The good Ice types are good despite their typings. Their typings more or less existing to hinder them, like how Slaking has Truant but in a less extreme way.

try to keep track of your own arguement. You said Ninetales and T-tar could easily just be put on a team without having to take how Hail or Sand would affect the rest of the team into account.
> But they are factually possible to run without filling your team with Ice types.
Do show me which non-Ice types have access to Slush Rush or Snow Cloak, then I will be waiting a long time.
>but I didn’t mean that literally every other team needs to be an Ice team
Of course not moron, that’s not how Hail or even Sand teams work. But I should mn’t be surprised since you couldn’t grasp that Rizzo’s team was a Sand team.
> Not really. Having chip damage is useful. Having two defense buffs is usually just overkill.
I strongly disagree but then don’t run Aurora Veil, there you have unlocked a new action in VGC’s very expensive action economy.

I’ll take this very easy for your autistic brain.
Hail team = Team specifically built around Hail
Hail team != Team were every member is Ice
Sand team = Team specifically built around Sand
Sand team != Team were every member is Rock/Ground/Steel


Should you usually have more than just the setter as part of the mind taking advantage of the weather? Absolutely, and Sand gives you better flexibility and variety there.
You have yet to show why Hail is not just worse Sand yet, and thus why changing to Snow was preferable.

Glad you agree that you're retarded and don't need to fill your team with Ice types.

>I strongly disagree but then don’t run Aurora Veil
Why would I not run Aurora Beil?

>Hail team != Team were every member is Ice
>Sand team != Team were every member is Rock/Ground/Steel
Glad you agree that you're retarded and don't need to fill your team with Ice types.

> That's not what I said. What I actually said is that all you have to do is not run Sash on any of your other Pokemon.
Yet now you’re talking about Slush Rush and Snow Cloak, which are significantly bigger considerations than “lol just don’t use Sash”.
> Why would I not run Aurora Beil?
Because you for some reason said Snow + Aurora Veil was overkill
> Glad you agree that you're retarded and don't need to fill your team with Ice types.
I on the other hand am sad you still don’t understand that you cannot run a Snow Warning + Slush Rush or Snow Cloak without at least two Ice types, nor understanding that similar cases for Sand leave you with three types to choose from. Making Hail objectively worse Sand.

You don’t need to put either of those things on your team to get advantage out of Hail, campaignshitter.

>Because you for some reason said Snow + Aurora Veil was overkill
Which it is. Hail + Aurora Veil is better.

> I on the other hand am sad you still don’t understand that you cannot run a Snow Warning + Slush Rush or Snow Cloak without at least two Ice types,
I literally never said this. Learn how to read.

>Making Hail objectively worse Sand
Not relevant. Hail is still more useful than Snow.

Stop staring at fanfic garbage and play the game.

>>59135230
Also you have to waste a turn setting up rocks which defeats the entire purpose of being able to passively break Sash.

All Ice types that are good do so in spite of being Ice type, not because they are Ice type.
>>
>>59130297
I play PVP. Calyrex Ice is one of the few Slow and Bulky Ice Types that's good. Even then, it's not good because it's an Ice type. If it were any other type, it'd probably be just as good.
>>
>>59130418
Never played comp award
>>
>>59130469
It's good because it has other things that other slow and bulky Ice types don't.
>165 Attack
>Mixed bulk
>Coverage
>Overpowered signature move
>Overpowered ability
It's good despite the typing because it has enough tools to make up for it.
>>
>>59130501
I do. No one runs just one Pokémon with Snow Warning. NO ONE. The advantages are outweighed by the disadvantages
>>
>>59130568
They never said that. You can run whatever you fucking want. Tyranitar is almost exclusively ran on Sandstorm teams. Doesn't mean it won't see success on teams that don't.
>>
>>59130585
See, Dewgong is mid despite being a slow and bulky Ice types. Zacian is good because of Steel, not Fairy.
>>

It's easy to assume that they're the same due to the fact they have similar arguments and speech patterns.
>>
>>59135304
>They never said that
Yes they did.
>>
>>59130733
Ttar was put there for Sandstorm. To synergize with Garchomp and Metagross. The rest of the team was primarily for coverage or because they synergized despite the inherent disadvantage of taking damage in Sandstorm
>>
>>59130726
It is shit.
Name one Ice type Pokémon that is good because it is an Ice type (and wouldn't be just as good or better as a different type). Explain why the Ice typing is so important for it.

Chip damage does add up. It can be the difference between getting a KO or not getting one. You've gotta realize that weather affects both sides of the field.
>>
>>59131206
What? Rillaboom is great in the campaign and is even better at comp.

In the campaign you likely won't have Grassy Surge so the healing doesn't matter. In comp it's negligible at best, and the benefits for Rillaboom outweigh the cons. It also gets healed, plus priority with Grassy Glide. It's unfortunately not used as much anymore because it lost Grassy Glide in Gen 9. Plus there's more ways to play around Grassy Terrain.

>>59132112
Ice Beam, Blizzard and Freeze-Dry are semi common among Water types
>>
>>59132145
In some niche scenarios yes. If you need the STAB for a KO, or Ice is better for a defensive matchup
>>
>>59132379
YES. EXACTLY. SOMEONE FINALLY SAYS IT
>>
>>59132702
>not even slow enough for Trick Room.
This is the wrong mentality. Trick Room is speed control. As long as you're slower than your opponent, you're slow enough for Trick Room. Koraidon is a TR Pokemon when you're going up against CSR.
>>
>>59135406

Only Ice types learn Freeze-Dry.

Incin actually benefits from its shit speed stat because it’s a U-Turn/Parting Shot pivot. It WANTS to go last no matter what so it can sponge a hit and get your other mon in scot-free.

Your point is still valid of course. A mon can be good in spite of a limitation, like a shit type. Just Incin speed specifically is a bad example

They may very well be the same person. Kojo is a twitter retard who was making an ugly Pokémon fangame. Now all he does is spread misinformation about Gen 5 to make it look bad. People suspect that Kojo and Yawnie are the same due to similar arguments and speech patterns
