Ice resisting Dragon would be a huge huge plus, since even with the Fairy-types around, Dragon is still going strong.

When a Pokemon's speed is doubled, it's not the base Speed that is doubled. It's their stat. As an example, I will use Beartic. It's at base 50 Speed, yes, but:Beartic is still slow though (by non Alola Pokemon metagame standards) even with Slush Rush-it essentially gets a speed stat of 100. Unless you all are talking in terms of it having a Choice Scarf?
Thanks for the detailed clarification! I didn't realize that's how stat doubling works.When a Pokemon's speed is doubled, it's not the base Speed that is doubled. It's their stat. As an example, I will use Beartic. It's at base 50 Speed, yes, but:
- At level 50, max EVs and a neutral nature, it has a Speed of 102. Double that and you get 204.
- A base 100 Speed Pokemon with the same criteria (Level 50, max EVs and neutral nature) will have a Speed of 152.
- Assuming all Pokemon are level 50, that Speed is beaten by a max EV and positive-natured base 135 Speed Pokemon by one point, such as Mega Manectric. The speed stat is 205.
So basically, base 50 Speed might not sound like much, but if you double that amount, you will be surprised by how fast it is.
Thanks for reading.
I'm not an Ice type expert by any means, but isn't A-Ninetales with Snow Warning and Aurora Veil kind of awesome? Like, I could see her getting usage in higher tiers kind of awesome. Maybe not OU, but it sounds like she's at least better than Abomasnow. Plus now we have four Snow Warning Pokemon (Abomasnow, Aurorus, Ninetales-A, Vanilluxe.) I think that's the most any weather gets.
Slush Rush Beartic and Ninetales-A sound pretty fun together.
Speaking of Ninetales-A. what's a good moveset for her?
I'm thinking Aurora Veil and Blizzard are obvious, but what else?
That is only if the region is based on somewhere cold. Ice types usually get the shaft in Pokemon.maybe the next region will be an totally ice based one? who knows? last time we got not so many ground and bug types.
we got a very warm region in Alola , many regions where more warm then cold, now 8 gen would be time for a freezing cold region with a harsh winter.That is only if the region is based on somewhere cold. Ice types usually get the shaft in Pokemon.
