Ice Type Explained
Ice is a great attacker and a poor defender. Its moves hit Grass, Ground, Flying and Dragon for 2× — which is why many final-evolution Dragon types carry a 4× weakness to Ice — but Ice itself has four weaknesses and resists only Ice.
Against a pure Ice Pokémon, lead with Fire, Fighting, Rock and Steel moves and avoid Ice. Against an Ice dual type the answer changes, because the second type can cancel a weakness or stack it into a 4× hit — use the Pokémon type calculator to check any exact combination.
Ice Dual-Type Pairing Ranking
Every Ice dual type, ranked first by fewer 2×/4× weaknesses, then by more ½×/¼× resistances and immunities, and finally by fewer 4× weaknesses. This is a type-chart comparison, not an overall competitive ranking; it does not include stats, movepools, abilities, items or team role.
