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}}. | The Ice type is considered by many to be the worst of all types defensively.

Even with a second type, many Ice-types have more weaknesses than resistances. | ||
Offensive-wise, because only two non-Ice-types doubly resist Ice ({{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Heatran}}), Ice is alongside {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fighting}} as one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double weaknesses to Ice are the most common (especially among {{type2|Dragon}}s, whose final forms are almost all doubly weak). Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{type2|Water}}s can also effectively use Ice attacks, which cover their major weakness of {{t|Grass}}, as well as {{t|Dragon}}, which resists their moves. | Offensive-wise, because only two non-Ice-types doubly resist Ice ({{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Heatran}}), Ice is alongside {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fighting}} as one of the most powerful and most commonly used types.
