You're right, I forgot about Lapras. Part of that is that before I picked up FR recently, I'd never used a Lapras, so I didn't know about her actual abilities- just had seen them on paper.
My point still stands: the Ice-types got royally gypped. First of all, with two exceptions, they're all doubletypes. For most of them, this screws them over. As if the Ice-type weaknesses aren't enough- and I'm not complaining about those; every type needs its weaknesses- most of the combination types either get slammed with a double weakness or with a weakness they can't easily counter without Hidden Powers and the like. Even up to the legendaries- Articuno? Sub-par movepool, double weakness to Rock, weak to Electric with little capability to counter it... I mean, sure, Mind Reader + Sheer Cold can take out anything given the turns needed to set it up, but that's a cop out.
The way it stands now, the Ice-types are in desperate need of intervention. There's Lapras. There's, as someone before said, Regice. Other than that... as Dragons are getting more and more popular, we need something to counter them. Dragons have two weaknesses: Dragon and Ice. I have yet to see a Dragon get gypped. Give the Ice-types some credit; they could be so useful if given their due. But as it stands now, someone could make a good case for an Ice Beaming Milotic being one of the best Ice types. That's just sad.
I stand by it: it's a good thing that Sneasel is getting an evolution (here's hoping that Manyuura is going to have some worthwhile stats.) And Glalie could use some help.
