I've been thinking about the ice type because it's my favourite type next to ghost types, I think the typing needs a major buff because in reality ice types should be some of the strongest defensively.
The ice type has really great coverage offensively:
Grass
Dragon
Flying
Ground
Dragon types only have two weaknesses being fairy and of course ice. Moves like ice beam and blizzard are commonly used on Pok?mon such as water types for coverage and they are really great for that but ice type Pok?mon lack what other types have and that is defensive coverage which is sad because other types are better at using ice type moves than ice types!
They have a crap ton of weaknesses:
Rock
Steel
Fire
Fighting
All of these types are very common offensively and defensively apart from rock which also carries the trait of having terrible type defensive coverage but great offensive coverage.
The ice type only resists itself and that is really embarrassing. Notable ice type trainers such as Pryce, Candice, Glacia. Wulfric and Brycen are total pushovers because they are so bad defensively and we usually have Pok?mon that can handle them at those points in the game. Lorelei is the only exception because she was pretty tough.
My ideas for ice type Pok?mon:
Offensively:
Ground
Flying
Grass
Dragon
Normal
Psychic
I think Normal types should be weak to ice types because if we think about Normal types are what they are implied to be and they are usually based on everyday things and have human traits. When you take this into consideration you will realize that humans and other beings do not like touching ice and cannot live in cold places like ummm...the Artic Regions? We would literally die if we lived near icy regions for long periods of time and it's unbearable.
I also think Psychic types should be weak to ice types because of brain freeze, lol. More of a jokey one but seriously, people can't think straight when they have pain striking their brain and psychic types mostly use their brains to fight right?
Defensively:
I think the weakness they do have are spot on and shouldn't be removed but more resistances should be added.
Resistances:
Ice
Water
Normal
Flying
Bug
I think the reasoning is pretty obvious but I think the move scald should be super-effective against ice types just like the move freeze-dry is super-effective against water types.
If most of the ice type experts are late game trainers like dragon type trainers then ice types should be equally as powerful.
