I learned something new about Philosoraptor today.

Ice should resist Dragon and Water

And be SE against Fairy?
Sure, Fairies are limited to Gardevoir and Klefki right now, but when Bank opens there will (hopefully) be blood.

I think Ice should've been SE against Fairy. I get they tried to buff Poison and Steel types, but they have barely any offensive moves :/

Doesn't matter, Game Freak is fine with Ice as it is ;_;

They probably think the lack of Ice online is due to a difficulty curve, and not just efficiency.

I reckon there are enough types that are weak to Ice, I don't think another should be necessary.

I've been seeing more Steel and Poison type pokemon recently.

4 types wreck Ice, and 4 types resist it.

That's insane levels of dumb

I was actually thinking about this at work; Ice probably could use another strength or two but I doubt they're going to change that any time soon. They couldn't get rid of a type entirely though, could they?

I do agree that Ice should resist Dragon (but that wouldn't help much since most know Flamethrower).

No, I have really bad natured ones. So no modest.

Yes, I caught all but one of the Larvesta (I accidentally hit run)

and yes, I know my luck sucks.

But I still revel in them because the endgame likes to throw dragons at you.

Next time I'll put this baby Amaura at risk. It's modest with 4 near-perfect IVs, and SP. Atk isn't one of them (How cruel...)

It wouldn't be as terrible if Ice had some resistances.

Fire was greatly buffed and Fairies are better Dragon killers than Ice, so there's also that :C

I just use Water pokemon for the dragon types (I teach all my Water pokemon Ice Beam). The only threat is that some can know Thunderbolt.

Are you trading them away?

I 1000000000000000% agree with Fire types.

I think GF are a bit biased with Fire types, especially the starters (Most of them have higher stat totals, Blaziken is the only Hoenn starter to mega evolve and Charizard is the only one that gets 2).

I also think the Psychic nerf in gen 2 was overboard. Really, Dark didn't need to be made, imo. I mean, the Dark type is awesome but all that was needed to balance Psychic was better Bug/Ghost moves and to fix that glitch. A specific counter type and another type to resist Psychic put it deep in the red, imo.

Well, I can see Steel. Something other than Psychic needs to resist Psychic :p

I wasn't expecting two shinies in one game ever. It happened twice this year, but only over an 11-month, 5-game course (and about 80 hard hours per game) after a 4-year drought.

Your luck is amazing! It's just being improperly directed, I think.

I'm probably just biased though.
Psychic is my favorite type :V

I personally disagree.

There were rarely any good Bug Pokemon and moves and I don't reckon you should rely on 1 type.
