One of the oft-neglected Pokémon types is Ice; their attacks are great for taking down formidable Dragon-type opponents, but the typing leaves much to be desired in terms of defense. It’s for this reason that they have often struggled competitively and now even have to contend with Fairy Pokémon trying to take their spot on teams.
There are still plenty of cool choices among the coldest Pokémon though. Collectors have often sought them for their beauty and style even if they fell short in battles. Generation I included no pure Ice-type Pokémon but did introduce us to classics such as Jynx, Lapras, Articuno and more. Further generations only bolstered the number of Ice-types available and even added an Eeveelution to the mix.
Let us know in the comments below your favorite Ice-type Pokémon from each generation, any memorable anime episodes featuring the type and any other stories you remember!
Haven’t watched the video because I’m in a rush but Ice is super underrated and has some amazing designs. I hope that GameFreak buffs it a bit one day, it’s an amazing glass cannon type but the Pokémon with the stats for that are little whilst slow Ice types are plentiful. Even if it got a 50% defense buff in hail to mirror the Rock Sp. Def buff in sand it’d help a bit. If I were to choose tho I’d give it resistances to two of the following: Flying, Water, and Ground. You can argue hard enough for each for the sake of balance.
Flying
… just… flying
It’s such a splashable attack and the resistances it has are kinda ass
I mean
Rock is arguably as bad as ice is in its current state, electric Pokemon are rarely even bulky enough to take flying hits, steel types resist it but steel resists literally everything. Point is, we need something that can eat a brave bird and slaughter the bird
#BuffIce
Just gotta say that although he wasn’t always the MOST reliable, when Flurry (My Glaceon) got going in USUM, he put in the FINEST of work. Remember that totem Kommo-o? He froze it and slaughtered it in two turns cause he is a GOD
Shoutout to Shiinotic real fast. I’ve actually grown to like it. I mean it’s not good (Honestly it’s pretty fuckin bad) but it’s quite fun to use.
That makes MOST the alolan mons usable in some capacity. They have pretty unique roles

Oh hello Turtonator and Incineroar I didn’t see you guys there
Excuse me we are appreciating ice types in this article
I had to appreciate shiinotic since nobody ever remembers it
I don’t see any Ice types in this post
Well alolan mons include an ice type
aka
Old Man Crabs
On the topic of Alolan mons, shoutout to Crabominable for being different. The boi is literally a slow tank of giga death. I really wish it wasn’t so bad but I love it regardless
My I love ice typing, it has one the better designed Pkms imo. But yeah it’s stupidly weak competitively but that kinda makes sense considering it’s ice, something that is super fraill. Some of my favs are Weavile and Articuno mainly because of their design really :0
Btw GF pls make ice resist something else
Fairy would be good, Maybe make fairy weak to ice
Doesn’t make much sense tho
Small weak fairies would die in low temperatures
Small weak mammals would die in low temperatures
Small weak fish would die in low temperatures
Small weak bugs would die in low temperatures
People with Psychic abilities would die in low temperatures
Professional Fighters would die in low temperatures
I mean, do you imagine Tinkerbell surviving one hour stuck in a fridge?
Yes because fridges aren’t below zero so it won’t be the temperature that really kills her
Eh, small fairies also die of fire. And not all Fairies in Pkm are small
Yes, because let’s shít on Poison even more
Ice is sh*t on more often than Poison
Keep telling yourself that. If Poison didn’t get that buff against Fairy it’s be worse than Ice lol
But it got one. And Ice got nothing.
And if you make Ice SE on Fairy you take that buff away. Give ice a seperate buff or just make good ice types.
So let’s make a type decent while make another decent one bad?
I
LOVE
ICE
TYPES
My favs are:
Aloslash, Mamoswine and Vanniluxe
Shout out to my favorite Ice Type
https://static.zerochan.net/Froslass.full.1505454.jpg
She got cheated out of a mega ;~;
And on being on Lusamine’s team even tho it’s Pretty and Freezes Humans (and Lusamine loves pretty pokemon and Freezes Pokemon)
I don’t know why but I feel like Froslass is one of those Pokemon I could see a lot of ceramics decorated with
Glalie got one and Froslass not was because Glalie didn’t have a design that’s nearly as awesome as Fros so they had to improve it with a mega
It still isn’t
It just needs some small stat boosts. It has sat in BL for so long. :/
The cutest ice type is AloPix and there’s no competition.
The ugliest is Walrein because it ruins Spheal
I like Walrein, used one in ORAS, but I agree Spheal looks much better
Eh I mean, does Spheal need to be cute all the way until its final evo where it has to look like a fat walrus, Walrein is fine for me really.
And Alo Sandshrew is way cuter wth
Walrein is ok. Used it in ORAS.
I’d say the ugliest is Crabominable.
I forgot Crab existed lol
My suggestions for ice Type to make it not sh*t
Changes to its weaknesses and resistances
Weak to: Fire, Rock
Resists: Dragon, Water, Fairy, Fighting
Super Effective against: Grass, Ice, Flying and Fighting
Hail buffs. Ice types gain a buff in defenses when in hail
A freeze version of thunderwave
More non Ice type Pokémon with abilities that benefit in hail
Introduce less walls and less glass canons to the type
Why the Fightining resistance/being SE against?
Have you ever punched a block of ice?
Ummm.. there’s a few broken parts to this
Explain my dude
That many resistances and with only two weaknesses is a bit much… Plus enough beats fighting already tbh
Fighting is a powerful attack type so it balances out doesn’t it?
I mean ice itself becomes broken with all those buffs
Good
The goal isn’t to make broken types
But like nerf flying to the ground that makes me happy
I think your hatred for them comes from a deep sadness that Rowlet didn’t remain the best secondary type
Nah
My anger comes from the fact that flynium Lando T as rare as it is fucks whatever I do to the ground
Imagine being told there was going to be an Ice Fighting Yeti Pokémon and someone hands you fucking Crabominable
Imagine copying the same comment from discord to PJN ?
I can because I’ve done it before ?
Imagine…. shutting up
Roastedddddddddd
Demn roasted like chicken in a tundra
Most of us didn’t see it 🙂
Our discord is for cool kids only
Be glad you got to get a sneak peak >.>
Then I’m glad I’m not part of it cuz I ain’t a cool kid.I am

We got hot bois and gamer girl(s)
I don’t see you tho

That’s an ice-type?
Is this a joke?
No. I didn’t play Gen 5 and was very disinterested in it.
NP I think BW was interesting u should try it
1) Lapras
2) Pilowine
3) Snorunt
4) Weavile
5) Vanilluxe
6) Aurorus
7) A Ninetails.
Honestly I like ice type, but there needs to be more of them. Also needs to be buffed. Please take away fightings SE typing against it. I hate fighting type.
The weaknesses it has make sense, it should have another resist or 2.
Ice should resist water flying and grass
Favourites:
Gen 1 – Lapras, Articuno
Gen 2 – Swinub, Sneasel, Delibird (great ones in gen 2)
Gen 3 – Sealeo
Gen 4 – Mamoswine, Froslass
Gen 5 – Vannillite, Kyurem-B
Gen 6 – Amaura
Gen 7 – Alolan Ninetales and Snowslash
I really like Ice Types, though I do often struggle to find them a place on my team. In Gen 7 I have used both Alolan variants and I have used both of my Gen 4 favourites in the past though.
Sorry for being a-wall (AWOL) for the weekend, but I have been busy with the end of the semester-still am. Just taking a moment to say that I am just before the 6th Trial-since Friday. Also to give my favorite Ice-types of each Gen. Seriously they need a buff in the future for a typing that is cool but also usually available late in game. Or just make them available earlier. I am easy to please.
I:Jynx
II:Piloswine
III:Glalie
IV:Glaceon
V:Vanilluxe
VI:Aurorus
VII:Crabominable
Gen 1: Articuno
Gen 2: Weavile
Gen 3: Glalie
Gen 4: Frisia’s
Gen 5: Vanillite
Gen 6: Avalugg
Gen 7: Alolan Ninetales
If Cloyster isn’t your favorite Ice type you’re either gay or a woman but not both. I refuse to believe something else.
When you put it that way, Cloyster isn’t too bad :3
Cloyster is My Favorite Clam type and I’m Ace.
Pairs well with Onix

Tho this clip sucks, Who the hell puts their watermark on a clip from someone else’s video
Perv
I realized at 2:54 AM last night that Toucannom is Dragonite
How drunk were you?
1.I can’t drink for medical reasons 2. Again 2:54 AM 3. As in the fact that Toucannon is not what people expected Pikipek to evolve into and Dragonite is so Different to Dragonair.
except dragonite is still nice
I like Dragonite, Did not Realize it Evolved from Dragonair for the Longest. I think Toucannon is Cool, Just not what People Expected.
I personally love toucannon. I do admit though it may have been more suited as it’s own Pokémon than a pikipek evolution
SAME HERE, WHICH IS WHY IT IS ARGUABLY IN THE SAME BOAT AS DRAGONITE
I can sort of agree with that. I don’t particularly like dragonite but at same time I don’t hate it either. I do wish that dragonair had an alternate evolution where it stays serpentine like I will say
thanks
Toucannon is one of the greatest things to come out of Gen 7
no
Metaphor. Like how (Prior to Charizardite X) Gyarados and Charizard were both pokemon people thought shoukd be dragons but weren’t dragons
