The '''Ice type''' (Japanese: '''こおりタイプ''' ''Ice type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Ice-type [[move]]s are super-effective against {{t|Dragon}}-, {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Grass}}-, and {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Ice-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Steel}} moves.

==Characteristics==
===Additional effects===
===Defense===
In [[Generation I]], Ice-type Pokémon cannot get {{status|frozen}} by Ice-type moves, which are the only moves that can inflict frozen status. In [[Generation II]], Ice-type Pokémon cannot get frozen by Ice-type moves, but they can get frozen by the {{type|Normal}} move {{m|Tri Attack}}. Starting in [[Generation III]], Ice-type Pokémon cannot get frozen at all.
Resisting only itself, the Ice type is the least-resistant type. However, it is immune to {{status|freezing}}, damage from {{weather|hail}}, and {{m|Sheer Cold}} (as of [[Generation VII]]).
 
Since [[Generation IX]], the {{stat|Defense}} of an Ice-type Pokémon is increased by 50% during [[snow]].


===Offense===
Ice-type Pokémon are also immune to {{weather|hail}} and, as of [[Generation VII]], the move {{m|Sheer Cold}}. From Generation VII onwards, Sheer Cold also has increased {{stat|accuracy}} when used by an Ice-type Pokémon.
Ice pairs well with other common attacking types, most notably {{t|Ground}}, which deals at least neutral damage to all types resisting Ice and covers {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Steel}} while Ice covers {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Grass}}. As of [[Generation VII]], {{m|Sheer Cold}} is more accurate when used by an Ice-type Pokémon.


===Contest properties===
As of [[Generation IX]], the {{stat|Defense}} of Ice-type Pokémon is increased by 50% during [[snow]].  
When used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s, most Ice-type moves become {{OBP|Beautiful|condition}} moves, with one {{OBP|Cool|condition}} move being the {{m|Ice Fang|only exception}}.
