 ===Defense===
-The Ice-type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively. It only resists itself, while carrying weaknesses to {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, making it weak to moves such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. Their sole resistance is nullified by {{p|Swinub|The}} {{p|Piloswine|Swinub}} {{p|Mamoswine|Family's}} {{t|Ground}}, {{p|Articuno}}'s and {{p|Delibird}}'s {{t|Flying}}, {{p|Snover|The}} {{p|Abomasnow|Snover}} line's {{t|Grass}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}'s Dragon. Even with a second type, all but two Ice-type Pokémon—{{p|Froslass}} and {{p|Rotom|Frost Rotom}}—have more weaknesses than resistances and immunities.

 ===Offense===
-Offensive-wise, because only {{p|Empoleon|two}} {{p|Heatran|non-Ice-types}}, which are {{type|Steel}}s, doubly resist Ice, and the fact that double weaknesses to Ice are fairly common (largely due to {{type|Dragon}}s, whose final forms are often doubly weak), Ice is, along with {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Fire}}, one of the most commonly used attacking types. Ice also pairs well with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type|Water}} Pokémon can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves.

 Similarly, an Ice-type Pokémon can often use {{type|Water}} moves, which covers their weakness of Fire and Rock.

 * There has been a [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member who specializes in the Ice type introduced in each generation. All three of the Ice-type [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Pryce]], [[Candice]], and [[Brycen]], are the seventh Gym Leaders in their respective region.
 * Generation V introduced the most Ice-type Pokémon of any Generation, with {{tt|eight|including Rotom's Frost form}} and Generation II introduced the least Ice-type Pokémon, with five.
