Cold as Ice: The Anouki

The Kikwi, the ancestors of the Anouki, lived in Hyrule’s forests until invaders drove them out of their homes. Forced to seek refuge in the frozen north; the Anouki managed to survive, and even thrive, with help from the Hebra Region’s ice-type pokémon.

The Hebra Region experiences a period each winter when the sun does not rise for days on end, and a corresponding period in summer when the sun never sets. This contrast is embodied by the pair of divine pokémon who watch over the tundra: Ho-Oh and Lugia. Each roosts atop a great tower: one of tin in the east, and one of brass in the west. In clear weather, these towers can be seen gleaming from a great distance away.

All of Pokémon’s attempts to make the ice type better through system changes to moves and weather are so funny because they refuse to address the actual problem

No resistances and no immunities except to itself along with weaknesses to really common types. They’re so committed to the idea of ice being a glass canon that’s fragile yet powerful except the offensive capabilities aren’t nearly enough to offset the defensive flaws. So instead of running them as glass canon sweepers they just run ice beam for coverage on anything that can learn it. Very few ice pokemon are actually statted to be glass canons either, instead there’s a lot of them that are large pokemon you’d assume are bulky but actually die super easily due to overwhelming weaknesses. Like Avalugg’s stats and moves are solid, but it doesn’t matter and never will matter unless they give it Filter or something else to deal with its weaknesses, and even then it wouldn’t have any resists to use to its advantage. Ice’s unique weather condition, snow, is supposed to help by giving a big defense boost to ice types and enabling aurora veil, but if an entire pokemon type is dependent completely on weather conditions and a specific utility move to not be killed instantly by basically anything I’m afraid I have to say it’s probably not a good type. And what baffles me is that ice as an element and force of nature is far from what I’d consider weak, it’s hard it’s cold, it’s dangerous. An individual icicle might break at the slightest touch but if you try to punch through a block of ice it’s going to hurt. If it were me I’d give it a few resistances, at least one to fairy because it feels thematically appropriate and the fairy type could use a small nerf like that, but the fact that ice doesn’t even resist fucking grass or bug or normal is absolutely ridiculous to me. And if they’re really that committed to making it defensively terrible, couldn’t they at least invest into making its offensive potential actually meaningful in a way that helps ice types and not just Pokémon using ice moves. I mean snow doesn’t even boost the power of ice moves or weaken the power of other types of moves it just gives ice types defense and activates some abilities making it the weather effect with the least immediate benefits out of all of them. There are so many cool ice type pokemon and almost all of them are completely terrible and that’s really sad to see go unchanged for this long

I don't know if anyone noticed it yet

But it seems like Friede is very sensitive to cold

Not just here but also in the concept art

And the way he reacted to Lapras using Ice Beam

Pokémon Abstract shoutout!

Have I mentioned I really like Pokémon Fan-Games? Because they’re better than the actual games. fight me.

Playing Abstract right now and I’m having a really fun time :) My favorite fakemon on my team are the ones above. The little bunny is way too overpowered and I love it so much.

Pokémon #0087 - Dewgong

"Dewgong live on icebergs adrift in frigid ocean waters. It thrives in lower temperatures, becoming increasingly more active the colder the weather. By storing thermal energy within its body, it is completely unharmed by even the most intense freezing weather. During daylight hours, it sleeps on bitterly cold ice or under shallow water. However, at night when the temperature drops, it swims powerfully among the icy waves."
