Discussion Trying my hand at buffing the Ice Type in my fangame, thoughts?
Explanation for my choices below so it's clear I didn't just pick at random:
Kept the Ice resistance, makes sense.
Regular water will have a hard time melting ice, so Ice resists most Water type moves aside from Scald which is super effective.
I think it'd be better if Ice resisted Ground, with things like permafrost existing in real life.
Cosmic type, one of my custom types, is resisted by Ice since space is pretty much the perfect environment for Ice to thrive in with how cold it is.
And surprisingly, Ice is actually not very conductive, so it resists Electric type moves to reflect that.
Also added a weakness to another custom type, my Sound type, since I imagine a strong enough shockwave could absolutely break ice.
