Unown Hidden Power - Ice or Psychic?

I'm replaying the Gen 2 game - specifically Crystal and in need of an opinion.

My planned team would be:

Meganium
Dunsparce
Qwilfish
Shuckle
Delibird
Unown

From the list you probably know that this is a challenge and not a conventional team.

What I need opinion on is Unown Hidden Power type. I'm torn between Ice or Psychic.

Psychic HP would be a stab ability for Unown which give his HP a lil extra kick.

But seeing my team, I'll probably teach Qwilfish Icy Wind, since Delibird will struggle against most of Lance's Dragonites. That leaves only one Pokemon with type advantage ability against Dragonites. An Ice type HP might help even if not much since I doubt Unown can survive long.

So I'm torn... Ice or Psychic?

PS: Its possible to test Unown without wasting Pokeballs by having it attack certain type of Pokemon (For Psychic HP, I can use Ghastly and Unown and for Ice HP, I can test with Chikorita and Pidgey)

Maybe get both for the heck of it and switch out when need be.

Yep, that's a good way of handling it as well (testing things out).
