What Is The Worst Pokemon Type?

- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2018
- Worst Pokemon Type, What is the Worst/Weakest Pokemon Type? A video explaining What I think is THE WORST POKEMON TYPE is something I've been wanting to do for a long time! All creatures and their moves are assigned certain Pokemon types. Each Pokemon type has several strengths and weaknesses in both attack and defense. In battle, you should use the Pokémon and moves that have a type advantage over your opponent. But out of all these Pokemon types, which one is the Weakest or Worst one? Of course if you disagree share it with us in the comment section. If you guys enjoy the video be sure to leave a like Subscribe and share this video with a friend.

Don't forget that 90% of Water-types can often learn Ice-type moves anyway.
Wicked3DS and you mostly expect it if that water has high special attack
Forgot about STAB
Joe Clarren Who forgot about STAB?
Joe Clarren who needs ice stab when you have dual typings
STAB is nice and all, sure, but no one is going to pick an Ice type just because of STAB. Starmie, for example, has been at least somewhat meta every generation, yet got by on multiple generations using BoltBeam, carrying literally neither of its STAB types.
Ice should resist:
-water cuz physics
-grass cuz winter
-bugs cuz make an ant chew on an ice block and see what happens
-normal cuz try breaking an ice block with your bare hands
Should be super effectif against:
-fairy cuz tinkerbell no likey when she gets frozen
DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A JOKE. PLZ DON'T GIVE ME SALT I ALREADY HAVE DISCORD FRIENDS FOR THAT. If you want a debunk then scroll down the replies and you will see my arguments for this topic. Reply with a reason and with arguments if you disagree.
Fully agree 😂😂😂
@@osatimetube3672 ha thx my dude
@- Anyella - why tho? if dragon are weak against it, then fairy should too. they really are weak so they need that buff. as for water, well i forgot there was the move freeze dry. ma bad.
I only agree with water and maybe grass
And it should be super effective on bug.
Ice type Pokemon are basically literal glass cannons. Except made of ice. If they can attack first they can wreck your shit, but one hard hit and they're done.
pikaace nicely said lol
Not really, the strongest ice move is blizzard and most ice mons don't have very high attack stats
@@radu4011 isn't blizzard an special attack?
@@haydenlee4509 I mean attack/special attack in general
Normal, Ground, Dark, & Psychic are all glass cannon types & the Pokemon of those types are indeed designed to fit that way too. Ice types aren't, given how many Ice types heavily rely on defense.
“The correct answer”
“This is my opinion”
Pick one

The sad state of RUclips. Thank you brother.
Thanks man we appreciate it. Yeah agreed.
lol the best part is right before that where he says "to not take any more time" and then proceeds to WASTE MORE TIME complaining that people say his intros are too long 😂
skye4485 god damn why is RUclips like this now?
Yes. The sad state of youtube, having an introduction for a video.
Ice is obviously the worst objectively but I can't help but love the designs of ice types like Sneasel/Weavile, Alolan Sandslash, Alolan Ninetales, and Articuno.
Weavile is actually pretty good tho for a ice type
@@gdg586 thats a ecxeption though.
Lapras is the best ice type. Change my mind
Noobelli eh maybe fire is worse if you only look at type chart not really that good at offense or defense. And you really only use fire type moves for scizor skarmory exascalivier and ferrothorn. However scizor ferrothorn and Excalivier in trick room would be gods if fire type moves didn’t exist. So while the fire type for offensive purposes is viable but only for niche purposes.
Ice is a great offensive type with a lot of defensive Pokémon.

Piefu the waifu honestly this guy is a joke with the time wasting 😂
@@Tom-iv6kh ikr?
Hahahahhahaha
Wow you're right. I tried and I can understand him clearly.
The least worst is:
Ghost
It’s immune to normal
beautiful
Noctum *cough* Fairy *cough* Dark
@@zemellion26 Ghost is not weak to fairy.
Personally I think ghost and dark type moves should be neutral to both ghost and dark pokemon.
Yeah but ask me this: would a dark trickster fall to his own underhanded tricks? If only ghosts can touch ghosts, then what else(other than dark) would be able to fight a ghost?
You all dumb dumbs, the worst type is 🔪
All I want for Gen 8 is the Ice Type buff
StickMaster500 Me too
It should resist water and some other type
Why didn't they make ice resist dragon instead of creating the fairy type.
yes. just yes.
Grass too
Ice should be strong against steel because an iceberg sank a hugh ship😂
Noice
To be fair it was more related to it being made with cheap and brittle steel. The Titanic may not have been sunk by an ice berg if it was made of better steel >
steel should just be normal effective against Ice, tbh
RUST would be a WATER based move (that ICE types could also learn) that has a 30% chance to lower defense by 1. EROSION would be a FLYING based move with the same effects... An ICE/STEEL type would be like "ice crystals," ( similar to CARBINK. )
dont joke about the titanic, thousands of people died when it sank -_-
I said to myself before this video even started, “it’s gonna be rock, bug, and ice.” Checkmate.
You're right. That intro was way too long. You could also easily shave off a minute by cutting those long transition times. If this video covered the movepools across the seperate generations and avoided such generalizing word choices, you might actually make a credible point.
Yeah, Ice type is bad. But saying stuff like "we all know" totally defeats the purpose of making this video in the first place.
Yay, you are granted a wish by the "wasted a minute-fairy" :D

The person is immature. Just let ‘em be.
ice isn't good for Pokemon themselves, but other Pokemon using ice type moves are great.
GodzillaFreak like starmie
Why does ice not resist water?
Awethan EX12 yeh logic and physics destroyed
Awethan EX12 i want to know why water isn't super effective against steel because, well WATER MAKES STEEL RUST! COME ON GAMEFREAK
Awethan EX12 It actually does make sense, if you keep running water onto an ice cube, the ice would soon melt and turn to water.
Hot water? Idk
BreKittyKatz that only applies if you have a constant supply of water and a limited supply of ice. The opposite is true too. If you spill water into a glacier the water will freeze pretty quickly. Really, if you have an equal amount of both, the energy will reach equilibrium and make a slush. So neither really overpowers the other.
There's also the fact that virtually every water type can learn ice type moves as well as a multiple of other Pokemon can learn them so even pre gen 6 there's not much point in having one on your team
I feel these type of videos are made longer the same way we answer in school.
Loool
It's funny how Grass and Rock each have 5 weaknesses, but when you combine them (like Cradily) 6 of those are eliminated and you you don't really have to worry about Bug and Ice because you're Rock-type.
rock-ground have 6 weaknesses like geodude and onix
Rock doesn't resist ice and bug
What about that caliber?
@@jackrabbit0612 he means that those 2 weaknesses that Grass and Rock don't remove from each other when combined, Bug and Ice, are types that are weak to Rock moves, that are STAB for a Grass-Rock 'mon. So even if Cradily is facing a Glaile or Pinsir, it can fear STAB ice/bug moves, but it can also fire back equally hard.
Way to fix Ice type?
Make it resist Fairy. Bam, instantly useful defensive typing considering how popular Fairies are.
Suika Ibuki just use a poison type or a heavy Pokémon with heavy slam because fairy types are usually very lightweight
I said useful, not perfect.
Suika Ibuki i would never use ice as defense IF i would use Ice
Brainbot Jezebel
Except both of those are ONLY good for the fairy type. It's taking up a Move slot to deal with one type, granted the best type in the game, but still.
Alex Noa i still use Aggron and Crobat very often in my Matches and both of those Pokémon fit the criteria
That’s why Rock type always the early gym coz when your Pokemon is above level 20, you can OHKO them easily
And to punish charmander fanboys too

@@Mr.Shadow10 And its not even super effective, cause Ground resist Steel.
Probably isn’t the weakest typing, but Ice is definitely the most disappointing.
Van dijk is the best player in the world
@@Rids07he is no doubt.
It’s bug
Quoth the ice-type gym leader Wulfric: "Ice is both extremely hard and terribly fragile at the same time... I could be your most challenging opponent yet, or I could be a total pushover." That was the moment I came to the same conclusion as this video... ice was truly the least reliable, worst type.
Ice is one of the worst i still think its better then Rock atleast as of Gen 7. Gen 6 Ice was weakest. But with inroduction of Alolan Ninetales and Alolan Sandslash bulstering the Ice ranks it makes them alot more viable. Im sure in future generations Ice will be buffed and have more resistances just as of right now there in a rough spot. Either way ice is heavily reliant on Hail for the 100% accuracy Blizzards. Rock though i have lost so many games due to a missed Stone Edge or Rock Slide even in sandstorms. In my personal opinion is Ice is better then Rock but not by much.
Julie D At least Wulfric admitted he was easy
And that's where I just sat my ass down for 1 minute as I cleared the entire gym with my Delphox
To each their own. ^^ I've never been great at using the weather to my advantage, so if you're someone who's good with getting up Hail combos (with moves like Blizzard and abilities like Slush Rush and Ice Body, possibly), I can see why you'd favor Ice types over Rock types. I personally feel like Rock types edge out the tiiiniest bit, because of its defensive resistances. In the end, though, I agree that it's a pretty close race as to which is worse.
This being said: Aurorus.
It's also in the same game that gives you a free Mega Lucario, which... would really make your last gym badge anticlimactic, if you use it.
The answer honestly has to depend. If you’re going for worst attack typing, I would probably say Poison. If you’re going for worst move sets, I would probably say Grass. If you’re going for the worst defensive typing, I would say Ice. It all depends. There is no one single worst typing.
M3G4 T3RR4 say that to Crobat and Gengar who with the introduction of fairy types have another class to take advantage over. Pure poison typed Pokémon suck through
M3G4 T3RR4
Nah, if you are referring which is the worst type for a Pokémon to have Ice would be the worst or at very least close to it. Ice type basically makes a Pokémon worse (if it kept the same learn set). The weaknesses aren't worth the STAB.
Alex Noa don’t tell me that my opinion is wrong.
M3G4 T3RR4 welcome to the internet
Brainbot Jezebel at least nobody from here has done that before now. Have a good night.

bruh, you have VERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRY good hearing then if it was loud to you -_-
It was extremely loud for me too.
Rock is my favorite type followed closely by Fighting, but Rock just has too many weaknesses. Grass, ice, water, ground, fighting, steel...it’s pretty sad. Unfortunately Gen 1 screwed every rock type by way of
All of them having dual weaknesses. I love rock but it needs a buff!
Jay Lawrence rock isn’t weak to ice
Its the other way atound
@@jimbobjason8296 yeag
I love the Grass type so much that it breaks my heart that it is very weak. Grass and Ice needs a buff.
I agree
Grass types are actually already kinda strong. Pokemon like venasuar are able to dominate alot of pokemon, plus the fact that they can usually use move like sleep powder, stun powder, ect.
His ability makes him competitive
Grass starters are conventionally quite strong (as are most starters), see Venusaur, Sceptile and Serperior, maybe Torterra too.
But among the non-legendary, non-starter grads types, which ones are notably strong?
Definitely!!
GameFreak never had to add a Fairy type to counter Dragon; all they had to do was buff Ice.
Just give Ice resistance to Dragon and get rid of weakness to Fighting (or even give resistance). Boom, you just solved two of the most common attacking types. Maybe even make Fairy weak against it (since it became META almost overnight).
Ice resisting fighting is the most illogical thing I have to ever heard lol. Also most dragon types know fire or rock moves so it rlly wont help
Orange F fairy type was also added because spiritomb and sableye didn’t have a weakness until it was added. Sableye has a mega that is hella bulky, has magic bounce so he can’t be killed by toxic, and can learn recover and calm mind which only boosts its bulk.
Give ice a ground resistance too
yeah how is fighting strong against ice when ice is hard as rock if it's an inch thick. ice can kill easily if the same size as a rock lol.
Literally as he was saying "everyone already complains about my intro being too long" I was JUST thinking about how nice his intro was compared to many other cringey intros I've seen that are like a full 4min long lol
Oh. Grass, Ice, and Rock, definitely.

Erizo: all pokemon and their moves are assigned a type
Typeless moves like curse in gen 4: am I a joke to you?
Struggle.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Poison type. Up until Gen 6, it was one of the worst types. I also think that Poison should be super effective against Normal types. It makes perfect sense!
Ice should be resistant against grass and normal types maybe also against bugs
Fiddlesticks that would only make grass and bug even weaker than they already are. Maybe water and ground?
Fiddlesticks grass need cold climate like ice lettuce and asparagus
and water
Fiddlesticks water?
SnowroPoro water cause ice freezes it... Yes water can melt ice in some cases but overall ice should beat it. It should resist ice and only scald is super effective.
Ice. I just saved you all 12 minutes.
It has 1 resistance and the least amount of Pokemon of any Type.
Elesa Brooks Is that was what said?
besides normal with zero resistances
Hardest counter to dnite
In some ways its opaf
Except Ice is absolutely amazing offensively. The worst type is easily Bug.
Yeah when he said worst types my first thoughts were ice and grass
“Which is the weakest Pokémon type??”
Me an intellectual: *_Yes_*

Snowman After all ice is my most favorite with water going second
Princess Peach, so you favorite type is the worst type and your 2nd favorite type is the best type... cool logic
Princess Peach I guess the old saying remains true; first is the worst, second is the best.
As soon as I saw this video I was like “it’s ice or bug”
If only rock had a 70+ power/ 100 accuracy move...
It has rock slide (miss)
Stone edge (miss)
Poison types are the worst! They're so toxic.
Bug types always buged me.
Steel types and rock types are too sturdy.
Dark types are too edgy.
Fire types never bring out any heated battles.
Psychic type are releable for mind games.
Grass types are constantly stumped.
Fairy types lacks any form of pazazz.
Flying types always have their heads in the clouds.
Although grass types are starting the grow on me
Chrysalis imposter corny but funny
Water types are too wishiwashi
It’s insane to me that gamefreak didn’t actually balance the game properly when they redid the type chart in gen 6. I hope they actually balance the game next time they redo the type chart.
Just make ice types resist fairy and either flying or ground, and ice is fine then, for rock idk, and for bug just make less types resistant to its moves and there you’re done with that
Or you could just realize all Pokemon are different and learn to overcome there weaknesses. I love having bug only teams. Everyone considers them the weakest, but if you don't take an all out offensive approach, they can be used quite competively. But a bug isn't supposed to be an all out offensive creature, it uses poison and traps to live in the real world
Yeah Vespiqueen is a good tank if you ignore the fact it loses half of it's health and dies to any rock move. The only bugs to make it in OU are Mega Heracross, Mega Pinsir,Scizor, Forretress and Volcarona, two of which get destroyed by switching into nothing. Since stealth rocks are so prominent, and Mega heracross is so slow it can get widdled down or burned easily, and Scizor and Forretress fall down to an ember.
Here are a few ways I would improve the following types.
Bug: Instead of Fairy resisting Bug, Rock should resist Bug. Bug should be super effective against and resist Fairy and Dragon.
Ice: Ice should resist Flying and Water, and be super effective against and resist Fairy. It should also be super effective against Ghost.
Rock: In addition to resisting Bug instead of Fairy resisting Bug, Rock should resist Ice and Electric.
Grass: Grass is no longer weak to or resisted by Flying.
Poison: Poison should be super effective against and resist Water.
Psychic: Psychic should be super effective against and resist Fairy.

>Calls Leech Life a good move
*Remembers back before the power for it randomly got buffed to 80.*
Man times have changed... Why the hell did it get that random buff?
I guess bug, rock, or ice
EDIT: I was right. That being said, your ice reasoning is lackluster. The type gets stab, and while yes, those other types do things better individually, they don't do it all at once. STAB on a type with good moves and good weaknesses can be well worth the dual type. Yes, the resistances, but you gave so many reasons that redeem the type from that. Not to mention the stats on the ice pokemon support all these uses. Being frail doesn't mean a bad thing. Greninja, classified as a glass cannon, still made it into ubers in XY. Same reasoning applies here for this type. Maybe fairy is better in some ways, but many pokemon don't have much if any support for the type.
Also ice types (the one I can think of right now is Lapras) get Sheer Cold, a move that, while has bad accuracy, is hit, it’s an instant 1-hit KO
Zackattackplayspokemon True, it’s like bug types, they need that other STAB for help to be a strong pokemon
The dual typing on ice types isn’t always a bad thing, just look at Froslass, for example. It’s immune to fighting moves due to the ghost typing, has decent strength in its Attacking prowess, and is faster than some common strong Pokèmon, such as Garchomp. Weavile is a speed demon, gets Ice Shard, Fake Out, Icicle Crash, and even Knock Off. Abomasnow is one of the best weather setters in the game(or at least, it was). Alolan Ninetales is one of the best screen setters in the game, and undisputed best Hail setter(sorry Abomasnow). Cryogonal is a great Special tank, and gets Acid Armor and Reflect to help its poor defense, and Rapid Spin to blow Rocks or Spikes away, and has an immunity to ground. Beartic and Alolan Sandslash have Slush Rush, to help poor speed they have to become something quite terrifying, with very high Attacking stats. Did I even mention that Hail is a good weather condition? Blizzard’s accuracy is now perfect, Leftovers is negated, Snow Cloak and Slush Rush are great, too. It may be the worst weather condition, but it certainly isn’t bad.
Zackattackplayspokemon grass is similar to ice too
The truth here.
I don't even need to watch the video to know it is Ice type. Too many weaknesses, no resistances, most of them are crap stat wise, this is a no-brainer.
*Edit:* Since people don't seem to know what I mean by "crap stat wise" let me explain. Most Ice types are slow and bulky, which would be decent if they had better typing but being Ice type defeats that. Avalugg, Glaceon, Aurorus, Regice, Walrein, the list goes on of supposed "tanks" made frail by their typing. *HOWEVER* Ice types are good offensively, so as if they have decent speed or pull off sweeps like Mamoswine, Weavile, Cloyster or even Alolan Ninetales they can be quite useful. Unfortunately fast Ice types are in the minority so the type as a whole is bad.
Kyvan de Jong because resisting itself is so much of a accomplishment right?
Kyvan de Jong normal has no resistances, but is immune to ghost. Immunity is a lot better than resistance tbh
Incinerated_Skies would you prefer a Pokemon that resists every type 4 times somehow or a pure ghost type which is only immune to normal
Alex Finney This argument is a fallacy as that Mon does not exist. I would prefer a pure ghost/normal over pure ice any day.
Normal is still better than Ice because while Normal has no resistances it only has one weakness and an immunity. The fact that Ice has so many weaknesses and only resists itself means it is much worse defensively. Combine this with the fact that most Ice types are slow and bulky stat wise means that most ice types are kind of self defeating.
Ice should be Super Effective against Grass because of winter (Yes, I copied this from someone else)
And it should be immune to water because water will freeze in cold weather.
If it already isn't, it should be strong against Flying because what happens if your wings are frozen?
Ice should resist Bug because the bug might get frozen in ice.
This is what I want.
Kay Thwe Khin that‘s not how any of this works. Actually the water would melt the ice. I agree with grass, but a Flying resistance is nothing you get. I don‘t see a reason for that. You‘re reasoning is good to explain why ice is good against flying, not the other way around. Also the bug type. I don‘t really see it.
Ice IS super effective against Grass tho... Or do I understand something wrong?
Try to learn thermodynamic first. Heat flows from hot to cold thats why water beats ice but not that too much temperature difference as fire and ice thats why water attacks are only neutral to ice.
But in some case, heat flows from cold to hot if you apply the concept of the refridgeration.
a reason why Ice is a good type is that all the types it's good against a commonly used together as duel types so with pokemon such as Dragonite, Salamence, Toterra, Jumpluff, Garchomp ect. It has a FOUR TIMES attack against them. And sometimes its resistance to it's self can be helpful. Especially hail. And to cover it's weakness to rock and fire there are a LOT of Ice/Water type pokemon and fighting is the same with lots of Ice/Flying type
eg. Laprs, Walrein, Delibird, Artucuno and even bloody JYNX can cover for the fighting type weakness. And the moves are OVER POWERED. Ice Beam, Ice Fang, Avalanche, Blizzard, Hail the list goes on. Ice may not be the best but it's far from being the worst
It's funny how Rock and Grass are terrible typings in general, but the combination of both creates an amazing Pokemon tank.
I agree for grass, but Rock? Rock usually gets paired with things that share common weaknesses with it, like steel and particularly GROUND. I've tried running mono rock teams for a challenge before. It doesn't work whatsoever unless you pick out all the fast ones and play hyper-offense the whole time.
Cradily
Ice isn’t too bad, you can still kill most dragons in one-hit since most of them are dragon/flying. (Take THAT, Fairies!) There’s also a move called Freeze-dry that is super effective against water types, which is in my Aurorus’s (It’s a fossil Pokémon) move-set.
Ice moves are amazing. Problem is that many non-ice type pokemon get those moves too, allowing them to get all the benefit beyond STAB, with none of the costs.
He's mostly referring to the ice typed pokemon themselves when explaining the issues with them. Generally speaking, the only viable ice type pokemon are those that are super fast; an Avalugg or a Beartic just won't survive long enough to attack the opponent.
It's very telling that basically the only viable bulky ice pokemon, Cloyster, is only good thanks to Shell Smash, a move that TAKES AWAY ITS BULK AND INCREASES ITS ATTACK AND SPEED. You know, missing the entire point of it being bulky in the first place.
I love ice types. They're absolutely my favorite type period. And they'll generally be pretty good in-game. It's just that they fall so easily in competitive, which is injustice at its finest.
I wish Ice would resist water and lose its weakness to fighting. Maybe that would help it out.
Syogren Hopefully it’s weakness to water gets removed in the future, along with it being strong against the next type.
Yea put that moves to a water type and you are good
LMAO

In-game and competitive are completely different things. Lapras and Walrein are very good for in-game to handle Lance and Drake, but I'd never use them in competitive.
Stealth rock isn't exclusive to rock types at all. That's a mute point imo. You didn't mention that bug has access to megahorn, a powerful 120 base power move with great accuracy given it's level of power. Same as grass with power whip. That move is amazing, as is stab u-turns. Quiver dance alone makes Volcarona such a big threat.
Grass is an amazing type as well. It has almost exclusive access to leech seed, power whip, and the best move in the game, spore.
You didn't mention weaknesses to stealth rock enough either. Ice and bug commonly create weaknesses or quad weaknesses to stealth rock, which is almost always a death sentence in competitive pokemon unless they are truly ridiculous.
It think the video is not very clear, for example in terms of pure type relationships Grass is weak but in terms of moves, Pokemon, immunity to powders its amazing.
Also its not weak to SR.
The video is purely about type match-ups
I can't believe people actually think Grass is weak, let alone in the running for worst type. Some of the best walls Pokemon has ever seen were grass types. Pokemon-wise, we have Venusaur, Mega-Venusaur, Amoonguss, Tangrowth, Politoed, Breloom, Ferrothorn, Celebi, Roserade, Shaymin, Exeggutor, etc. Looking at moves, we have incredible moves that support walling (which is what most Grass-types specialize in) such as Leech Seed, Synthesis, Giga Drain, Strength Sap, Horn Leech, Aromatherapy, Cotton Guard, Sleep Powder, Spore, Spiky Shield, and Stun Spore. In addition to this, all Grass-types are immune to Powder moves, and get access to amazing defensive abilities like Regenerator, Sap Sipper, Flower Veil, Leaf Guard, and even Effect Spore to a certain degree. From Red and Blue to Ultra Sun and Moon, Grass-type Pokemon have been incredibly prevalent in the metagame.
Grass is a great typing, and it always has been. It shouldn't even be in the same conversation as Bug, Rock, or Ice.
Names politoed?
Perhaps the best rainsetter we've ever had, excluding Ubers.
Politoed is a water type tho
I have thought for 5 generations that Politoed was Water/Grass. Learn something new everyday I guess.
Hard agree. Anyone with even half of a brain knows that Grass is good.
Ice should resist water and ground tbh
Would make it a lot better
Piggsy seAl if you run ice under water for long enough it will melt but it would make sense for ground to be weak to it
Connor Sydney well yea ice is gonna melt because it's making contact with a substance lower than it's temperature?In that case ice would be weak to every type.
I think ice actually means 'frost', as in pure coldness, like the opposite of fire. I think ice and fire should be strong against each other, and ice should be strong against water.
Piggsy seAl No How Could Ice Restiest Water
David Wang resist*
Also maybe because it's frozen water?
For a long time Poison was the weakest type. Thanks to Fairy-type and decent attacks it finally changed, but they forgot to buff Ice. Ice was strong in Gen 1 because it was the only Dragon-counter and there was no steel yet. But from Gen 2 on it became quite a tragedy.
Not to mention Fire didn’t resist Ice back in Gen 1 either.
I'm not crazy for liking the Ice type. As you said so yourself, the Ice type has some great moves and are very good against some of the strongest types. Every type has some weaknesses, though. And I can think of many Ice types that aren't legendary. Glaceon, Froslass, Galarian Darumaka, Snovel, Vanillish, Arctozolt. I think that Normal is the worst type, since it has literally no advantages, and none of the normal offensive moves are good. They're weak against Rock, Ice, and Steel, and immune to Ghost, whilst Fighting in strong against it. You could completely erase the Normal type, and it wouldn't affect anyone. We all know that the only reason Normal types really exist is just for the heck of it, excluding Eevee, since it is actually a very useful pokemon with many useful evolutions. Other than Eevee, all normal type pokemon could disappear and I'd be okay with it.
How to fix ice types:
1. Add an ability to make them immune to fire type attacks (over-freeze would be a cool name)
2. Give it more resistances: resist water, electric, bug and dragon (yes water resists ice but that doesn’t make sense)
2. Make it strong against steel and water
I just want gamefreak to boost my fav type 🙃
You're not fixing it, you're making it overpowered...
Joseph Honora good 😈
I'd make it resist water, electric and bug. And make an ability that allows a certain Ice type to heal in hail weather
Joseph Honora not really it's called a buff like they did with bug types they buffed them
A person 2000000000000 no doing all that stuff would be op
Ice is definitely a tricky type. For sure on the lower end of the scale, but if you play it right, some of them can really do a lot. I know you didn’t mention them, but Cloyster is a great ice type with amazing potential if it gets set up, and Froslass has a very diverse move pool plus destiny bond in a pinch. I’ve found that both of them have been crazy good in competitive battling
Dramadude926 agreed
agree
Alolan Ninetails is the most bada**, not legendary ice type (its also fairy) if you get the move set, Aurora Beam, Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, and Dazzling Gleam. Dark Pulse and Dazzling Gleam are both TMs, as Ice beam and Aurora beam (also Dazzling Gleam) are Level ups. Alolan Ninetails is Immune to Dragon types, Resistant to Ice (1/2x), Bug (1/2x), and Dark (1/2x) types. Alolan ninetails is Weak to Fire (2x), Poison (2x), Rock (2x), and Steel (4x) types, Its normal to everything else. It evolves by an Ice stone, and its Sp.DEF and SPD are very high. Its overall stats are 505.
if this helps at all please like the comment so others can see it! Have a great rest of your day
*look at title* BUG TYPE
Bug kicks ass at psychic
Normal sucks ass
@@qbcl2681 Nah (curselax, cb normal types..)
You forgot that Rock is weak to Grass. You said it is weak to Water, Fighting, Ground, and Steel, but forgot Grass.
KingsleyIII he said that rock is weak to alot. Then named a few and finished by saying pick your poison. Meaning that he implied that it is but never actually said it.
He also forgot bug is strong vs grass
Rock is also weak against Ice. So is ground, grass, flying, and dragon. ❤
Tuzzie Li what? It's not. Rock is strong against ice.
Harrison if I remember correctly, Ice is weak against fighting, fire, grass, and steel. Maybe rock to, but I know rock is definately weak against ice. I use Ice Sneazel against Tyranitar *Pokemon Go* Avalanche is not only super effective because hes rock but because he's ground as well. Geodude, Graveler, and Golem are also all prey to Ice.

Hello Supra and Eryizo
What's sup bra my dude!
JustRayToday , Sup BRA!!
I honestly can't say I like a few of your arguments:
1) Rock type. Rock is an excellent offensive type. Yes, it has accuracy issues but Stone Edge has classically been one of the most important and powerful moves in the game (and part of the famous Earthquake+Stone Edge duo). Rock Slide likewise is one of the most feared moves for stealing games on its own (especially in doubles). And then there are the specialized but still key moves like Head Smash and Rock Blast. Very, very few other types have any chance of being nearly as game defining on the offensive side of the spectrum as Rock. Defensively Rock does have a number of weaknesses true, but two of them aren't as bad as they appear (Grass and Steel are both relatively rare move types and many dual typings remove these weaknesses) and Rock's high defenses make the others less crippling than most types deal with. Finally rock has some unique advantages. Rock is one of the main abusers of its own Weather type in Sandstorm. It gains a unique SDef boost in Sand and ignores damage from the same. It also has some of the best utility moves in Stealth Rock and Wide Guard. While by no means the preferred defensive type of pokemon, you can easily find worse types than Rock.
2) Ice type. Yes, Ice is terrible defensively. That said, part of the reason is because competitive pokemon bans or alters some of its defensive options. Evasion hax is hated on as "unfun" but it's still a big part of Ice's identity so the removal of it hurts Ice as a whole. Offensively however, Ice has been a corner stone of pokemon power since the game began. Whether you're talking Ice Beam (of Thunderbolt+Ice Beam fame), Ice Punch, or Blizzard (mostly in doubles but not unheard of in singles, especially in earlier gens), these were (and to an extent still are) some of the best moves in the entire game. Add in one of the few (and arguably the best) priority moves and one of the classic OHKO moves (again usually banned) and few types have the offensive pedigree of Ice. Moving on to untility, Ice has a few moves that are unique and have been at points key in the meta. Whether we're talking new moves like Aurora Veil or classics like Icy Wind and Haze or its own weather type in Hail, Ice stands among the most versatile types around. Given all that, I can't put it in the bottom tier. If Ice left the game, it would be missed, not every typing can say that.
why doesnt this comment have a million likes, you're 100% right and i really want to thank you for taking your time to articulate what i'm too pissed to type
Thank you
I thought the most common weakest type was normal and I thought everybody already knew that it was normal
Then are you telling that arceus is weak ?
Normal is actually a very good type. It's only weak against fighting, and most normal types can learn elemental moves like Ice Punch and Thunder Fang. Most normal types are also bulky and can tank lots of hits.
@@privatefeetpics7415 like arceus 120 hp def and sp def
As far as useful pokemon within a type, if we are going off meta, I would say that bug and/or poison is the most useless. They tend to be weak pokemon as a whole, and their moves tend to be mostly low damage or status effects.
*cough* toxic and toxic spikes *cough*

Poison types are good defensively, Fairy and Fighting resistance are nothing to sneeze at, and grass is not too shabby either. It's only weak to psychic (which is meh) and ground. Offensively it's worthless. Bug is pretty meh and definitely at the low end of typings. It's super effective typing is good to have (due to the ubiquity of the psychic and grass types and Dark now being one of the better types). It's good good resistances defensively, but also gets hit by some of the best offensive types. Still better than ice though.
Eh bee drill really deadly, if u know what your doing, fell stinger can be used to kill weak mons and bring a potential sweep anything tht has strong priority will kill it) but beedrill is pretty much it (poison jab is also pretty formidable. U turn and x-scissor can also be great since fell stinger is super predictable.
Scoliopede, Drapion, Mega Beedrill, Shedinja and Heracross would like to have a word with you
@Peusterokos1 Magmar will take those,send them in.
I know ice type is objectively bad, but I still love it. It's got some greatly designed Pokemon, and Glaceon is just plain beautiful. I really hope it gets a buff in gen 8. It deserves it.
The claim u made @ 6:55 can be said about ALL THE "BAD" TYPING
Fun fact: grass may have a lot of weaknesses but are actually one of the most survivable types in game. Their move sets are very complicated like “ingrain” and are meant to slowly take down the enemy instead of just one shots. It’s like playing chess
I always thought giving some resistance to ice type would be much better. Some ideas I had were these:
Water as both can resist each other as water can melt ice into water but ice can freeze water into ice.
Flying because birds fly south for the winter.
Bug because most bugs die in the winter.
Grass because most plant life can't grow in icy climates.
Jake Ryker Ground and electric too
Also why is steel and fighting super effective to ice?
Noah Johnson Obviously, a martial artist trained to be able to break and shatter ice. Steel is stronger than ice so its gonna shatter ice.
AbdallahSmash026#1Fan. Yeah I know these are just some ideas that I think make sense and why I think they do. Plus a grass resistance could help make the plethora of ice water types a bit better. plus it would help 2 of my favorite ice types Mamoswine and Auroros
Bro, ice type is the COOLEST type :))
Eeeeeyyyy
Yeah its sure ultra cool
No, its not
It is and nice pub
*pun
I think to buff ice we'll have to:
Make it super effective against:
Water. Put water in the fridge and see what happens.
Psychic. Brain freeze.
Grass. This one is obvious.
Bug. Bugs don't like cold weather.
Ground. Snow covers ground.
Flying. Birds can't fly when their wings are frozen.
Dragon. Dragons are cold blooded.
Okay...That's pretty overpowered.
Now let's balance it out with:
Fire. It melts ice. (Though I'd love to see an ice pokémon have a "melted" form, turning into this form will change it to water type.)
Fighting. Fists can break ice.
Steel. Ice breakers exist.
Rock. It's just strong...?
Alright, I'm out of ideas and the ice type is still overpowered, maybe you have some ideas?
How the hell is rock worse than grass? Grass is horrid. 6 types resist grass, grass has about 6 weaknesses, most grass Pokémon have horrible defence.
Ice should resist Fairy and Grass.
And to be strong on fairy type that fairies is a small spoiled little creature ...
There is no logical reasoning behind either of those statements... How do you explain fairies being weak to ice? And how about grass? Grass in particular is difficult to justify because the only places in the world that are cold and have little to no plantlife are the north and south poles - the absolute extremes. And fairies... honestly, fairies should be susceptible to the wind if we're going by standard representation of them. But I don't necessarily see fairies being susceptible to ice specifically because they're generally very adaptable to the elements around them. What I would like to see them do at some point is give us a fairy dragon - not just a fairy/dragon type, but a mon based off of the fairy dragon. They're so underused in fantasy.
bug and fairy* then i agree
Fairy should heal grass type...
No, Grass sucks
Ice is still my favorite and you can't change my mind :(

yeah same even though im a little pissed that he putted it in the video i actually understood and he explains it really well and he's sorry that its the worst type. Atleast he's a nice guy not like any other idiots here cant even explain right.
Yeah i *love* ice types, i use them in hail or rain teams (Swift Swim Beartic or Slush Rush Alolan Sandslash etc.)
Avrap AJ Yeah I don't care if they are frail they still all look amazing execpt jinx's thicci Minaj bitch ass
Avrap AJ ICE IS GOD
Avrap AJ stop screaming just because it's in the list.
Ice type moves are hella useful, especially during The Elite Four portion of the game. Ice Pokémon, on the other hand, could at least use a Flying or Bug resistance as defensive buffs because the other defense buffs it has had over the years like Immunity to Sheer Cold and Immunity to Hail don’t have enough situations where they would provide use.
Before fairy, ice type had its niche as the counter to dragon. True, it’s the offense that really matters, but don’t underestimate STAB. Once fairy came in, it pushed out ice by not only providing a better alternative to countering dragon, but making dragon less useful, which then makes ice less useful
Guess: Eryzo Type
SilverFox7 OOF
SilverFox7 oh em gee sick roast
Roasted dang
SilverFox7 shots fired... and they hit. Right smack FREAKIN dab in the heart
SilverFox7 it’s super effective?
I think rock because it lacks good stab moves. The best ones are stone edge and rock slide but they don’t have 100% accuracy.
ItzM3mes stab rock slide in doubles was the key to VGC. Gigalith anyone?
ItzM3mes You couldn't be more wrong. Rock types are very good. Plus in Sandstorm their sp defense goes up and rock slide and stone edge get 100% accuracy
Also if there was a Pokemon that was all types, Rock would still be super effective
Scorpion 112201 That’s only in a sandstorm. You either need a Pokémon with sandstorm which takes up a slot, have the ability sand stream, which only 4 Pokémon have, or be in a sandy area. Sand also hurts your other Pokémon which is very inconvenient.
Scorpion 112201 Well there isn’t.
I need to agree with bug and ice, both needed to be buffed
For example: ice should be resistant to grass and water and bug types should have better defences/hp
What ice type should resist:
1. Grass because most plants can't survive in the extreme cold
2. Bug because insects can't survive in freezing climates and can't do anything to ice.
3. Ground because ice can be fine if the ground breaks and ice beats ground.
4. Flying because birds don't do much to ice.
Rip aurorus and abomasnow.
rip Glaceon my go to 2nd main party pokemon in moon...loved my female glaceon with ice beam shadow ball mirror coat and psybeam
nintonintendo1 and Bergmite and Avalugg
Fact: Avalugg is the heaviest pokemon in lbs yes it's heavier the snorlax
Lauren McDaniel no Groudon is the heaviest
nintonintendo1
Abomasnow has the crippling x4 weakness to fire, tho.
nintonintendo1 damn it abomasnow help me sweep no u abomasnow mega abomasnow
If Ice resisted Grass, as it should, Lapras and Walrein would be used so much more.
Water/ice is not a bad type. That is *not* why Lapras and Walrein don't see usage. They don't see usage because they lack recovery as tanks or walls and can't do much on offense.
As for whether it "should" resist grass, I disagree that it makes sense. Ice is an offensive type. It's not something in real life that's durable, but it can do damage. It has the best offensive coverage in the game, hence why it only resists itself.
Grass is already resisted by too many types
The problem with Lapras, as much as I love the pokemon, is that it's stats are not good.
Grass is already bad enough for this.
“Fairy normal dragon are the worst types” ..... ik it’s ur opinion but that hurt being a fire trainer
I didn't actually regard ice as bad until I heard your point of view. I've used ice a lot without realising how bad it was. I might have considered taking my ice type off the team but I need it's backup type, it has a hm and it's actually pretty tough
i love ice type, but i agree that ice is the worst, i clicked on the video expecting that as the answer
Didn't Ice type used to have resistance to Water type? Ice type used to be a total boss against Dragon type before Fairy type came along.
In my opinion, Poison is the worst typing out there. It's only strong against Grass type, Steel type is immune to it, and it's weak against Ground and Psychic. Granted, it got edge over Fairy when it was introduced, but doesn't make up for it. Plus, the fact that it isn't super effective over other natural typings like Water, Ground, Bug, etc, makes the idea of toxic pollution look like a joke. It should be the real Evil type in Pokémon, not Dark type. "Oh! But Dark types use moves like Bite and Snatch and that makes them evil!" I hear you butt in. Yeah, but that's no where near as bad as Poison slowly killing you on the inside and polluting your needs for survival. In fact, shouldn't one-hit kill moves like Guillotine be considered Evil? It does sound pretty fucking Dark dontcha think!?
Ice never had a resistance to Water, that's a misconception that comes from most Ice types in the first 2 generations being Water/Ice, and Water resists itself.
Like the other guy said, Ice was never resistant to water. Also, Poison is pretty good defensivally.
what's even worse about rock types, is that most rock types are dual rock - ground, so they're 4x weak against dual grass - water.
It really bugs me that normal attacks are never super effective.
Some of the typing imbalances really bother me. Grass, water, and fire should be equal, since they're all supposed to be equal starters, but grass is far and away the worst and fire has only been buffed with added types. Why would they ever make things even more unbalanced?
There's a point to be made before gen 6 tho. Ice Types make only 6% of the Dex, and before Fairy Types, they were pivotal agaisnt the Dragon Types which were Game Freaks easy switch into "you're in hard game mode now", since all elite 4s had them. There was a certain value as to rarity and the usefulness of its one strenght, and it was usually coupled with the water type, negating two weaknesses. Bug Types on the other hand, were always the "easy mode" that counter balanced the Dragon Types "hard mode", being not much other than xp fodder for low level Pokémon. In Gen 2 there's barely anyone who uses Heracross or Scizor in the game, and it wasn't until Gen 4 that they started getting a better treatment. However, Rock-Types, to me, feel the worst type. They are always early gyms, they are always not versatile as in most Rock Types play the same, and they aren't even that iconic, a lot of people still mistake rock for ground because it lacks anything to make it stand as a type. Everything it does another type does it better, since gen 1.
aggron and blastiodon make that rock type attribute less likely sence they're rock/steel mega aggron gaining a pure steel type so on so forth
jpcsdutra
Steel types were the answer to Dragon types before Generation 6. You still didn't use ice types to deal with dragons, but a pokemon with an Ice type attack. In fact steel types being the only real answer to dragons was one of the main the reasons why fighting types were so good in Generation 5 and lost steam afterwards.
Alex Noa Its not so much that steel was good against dragons, is that steel was just a nightmare to damage, they were rock type done right.
I agree with the most of youve said,but "Everything it does another type does it better since gen 1" is not true. Rock challenges are the only ones that made me go back and gain more levels to beat them. Even if you go with pokemons that counter them,they can give you a pretty hard time beating them!! p.s. offtopic - the coolest evolution-Steelix !!!!
GOD DAMN IT, I *KNEW* ice was going to be on the list... I know it's a bad type, but I love them none the less. Oh well, it's the *cold* truth.
thing about ice is, pokemon can learn ice type moves, you dont really need stab, you can have great offense without needing to tack on an ice type to gain all those weaknesses
Don't talk to me or my rock types ever again

Hi Lycanrock, probopass, golem and ohix
i think this video should have been split into two versions: Gen 1 and Post Gen 1 since Gen 1 was in a class on it's own.
Gen 1:
Worse: Ghost = You only had Gengar and Nightshade and that was it since Lick was the only Ghost move left and it was trash while Confuse Ray was just a utility move that you couldn't depend on for offense.
2nd Worse: Bug = all bugs were super weak with low defensive stats, shit base stats across the board, only 3 offensive bug moves (with Leech Life being the strongest), weak to the all too commons Fire, Flying and Rock types, and no offense against the types it's suppose to counter in Ground and Grass types.
this is why Psychics like Alakazam and Mewtwo ruled Gen 1 because they blew up Gengar and laughed at shit like a Pin Missile from Beedrill or Leech Life from Parasect (since all the other Bugs were either poison, weak or couldn't learn Pin Missile or Leech Life). Parasect was about the closest Psychic counter in terms of type and move counter but even then there was better options that weren't bugs like Chansey, Snorlax, and Slowbro.
3rd worse: Dragons = There was only one dragon move and pokemon and it was Dragonite and Dragon Rage. a move that dealt a flat 40 HP per turn which is nothing to level 100 pokemon who have 300+ HP.

The super Shiny Lucario not a bad list. But I would put fairy over Ground because there is really only 1 good ground type move which is earthquake.
Ice is an excellent offensive type, though. The problem is GameFreak making most Ice-type Pokémon defensive, slow, or both. Weavile is amazing because it can actually use its typing effectively, so is Mamoswine, that despite being more on the slow side, it has a good dual-typing and Thick Fat; but what is the point of Pokémon like Avalugg, Beartic, A-Sandslash, Crabominable, Aurorus, Abomasnow, Walrein, etc. if they can't take a hit before attacking? Ice-types aren't supposed to be slow... it's bad design. Rock suffers the same fate.
.
Worst type in my opinion is Bug. Its only redeeming quality is Sticky Web and U-Turn, both which have awful distribution (U-Turn is learnt by more non-bug types than bugs, for fuck's sake). At least Leech Life was buffed in Gen7
