So the ice-type is considered often by fans as the worst typing due to a number of weaknesses but very few advantages. It's however also still considered a type worth looking into since most pseudo-legendaries has 4x weakness to this typing. Still for some, that's not enough to justify the ice-type as a worthwhile type to look into.
So one thing I always thought was odd is why isn't ice-type in-general supereffective against water-type Pokemon? So hear me out, in the Pokemon Adventures manga there is this absurdly strong pre-evolution ice-type Pokemon and one thing I notice is that if your in or near any body of water, even so much as a puddle or in humid air, your pretty much in huge trouble because this Pokemon has great manipulation over ice which has a huge advantage in any form of water. So it got me thinking, considering how terrifying this ice-manipulative Pokemon can be near forms of water, why isn't ice-type in general just supereffective against water? I know there is the move freeze-dry but I don't think one move alone can justify the ice-type not crossing into this super effective mark outside of power-creeping one move that most people would probably not notice.
