It only resists itself, while carriying many common weaknesses in {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}}, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{p|Scizor}}'s {{m|Bullet Punch}} and the randomly-carried {{m|Fire Blast}} meant to cover the much sturdier Steel-types. These defensive weaknesses are reduced somewhat by the rarity of pure Ice-types. | ||
Offensive-wise, thought, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types. Double-Ice weaknesses are very common (expecially among {{t|Dragon}}-types), while no more than two non-Ice types doubly-resist Ice-{{P|Empoleon}} and {{P|Heatran}}. Ice also pairs strongly with other common attacking types, notably {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Electric}}. {{t|Water}}-types can also effetively use Ice attacks, which cover the {{t|Grass}} and Dragon-types who resist Water, leaving only other Water-types to resists this Water+Ice combo. | Offensive-wise, thought, Ice is one of the most powerful and most commonly used types.
