Reimu's Pokémon blog (Japanese Pokémon trainer)

This time, I had battled in Ranked Battle with ONLY Ice type Pokémon!
Ice type is not a strong type, but there are many interesting Pokémon. For example, Eiscue is immune to almost all physical attacks! (But the Mold Breaker Ability ignores Eicue’s Ice Face)

There are no Cinderace in Ranked Battle now. (This challenge had done in September,2020)

Froslass
Piloswine
Sandslash(Alolan)
Eiscue
Lapras
Ninetales(Alolan)

Ice type Pokémon have many(four) weak spots. Fire, Rock, Fighting, and Steel. On the other hand, Ice type is strong to only Ice type itself! So Ice type is a very weak type in terms of defence.
But Ice type has a very nice defence move, Aurora Veil. It halves both physical and special attacks! So surprisingly, there is a little worry of defence!

Now, Dracozolt is popular in Ranked Battle. And Ice types are very strong to Dragon type! It’s a nice trend to Ice Pokémon.


Ranked Battles: 1wins,1losses
Casual Battles: 4wins, 3losses

I had been under tension in Ranked Battles. And I could take good videos in only two battles. So I stopped.

Aurora Veil is a very strong move.



〈Froslass〉
70-80-70-80-70-110(Total 480)
Ability: Cursed Body
Item: Focus Sash
Nature: Timid
Moves:Ice Beam, Icy Wind, Hex, Thunder Wave
EV Spread:B4 C252 S252

Send out first, and it lowers opponents’ Speed By Icy Wind or Thunder Wave. If an opponent is paralyzed, the power of Hex doubles.
Thanks to the moves and Focus Sash, it will move at least two times! (So it maybe can stop opponent’s Dynamaxed Pokémon)


〈Piloswine〉
100-100-80-60-60-50(Total 450)
Ability: Thick Fat
Item: Eviolite
Nature: Careful
Moves: Stealth Rock, Rock Tomb, Fissure, Earthquake
EV Spread:H252 A4 B4 D244 S4

Super Sp.Defence! If there is an Aurora Veil in my field, You will not be afraid of Charizard or Volcarona.
Charizard and Volcarona are very weak to Rock type moves!


〈Sandslash(Alolan)〉
75-100-120-25-65-65(Total 450)
Ability: Slush Rush
Item: Lum Berry
Nature: Jolly
Moves: Iron Head, Triple Axel, Earthquake, Brick Break
EV Spread:H20 A244 B4 D4 S236

Its Ability Slush Rush will double its Speed when it’s snowy.
It will be faster than “the fastest Charizard with Choice Scarf” when the weather is snowy.(or than Volcarona after Quiver Dance)
It will Dynamax. Because Ninetales can make it snowy and use Aurora veil, Sandslash was often chosen with Nineteils.
By Max Hailstorm, it can also make it snowy by itself.


〈Eiscue〉
(Ice Face)75-80-110-65-90-50(Total 470)
(Nice Face)75-80-70-65-50-130(Total 470)
Ability: Ice Face
Item: Sitrus Berry
Nature: Jolly
Moves: Icicle Crash, Liquidation, Zen Headbutt, Belly Drum
EV Spread:H12 S236 B4 D4 S252

It will be Dynamaxed. (I had always Dynamaxed Sandslash or Eiscue)
Its Ability Ice Face protects it from one physical attack. And this Ice Face will be reproduced when the weather is changed to snow(hail).
It will use Belly Drum in front of an opponent’’s physical attacker, and it will have crazy power, and Dynamax.

Almost all opponents were fainted in one blow.


〈Lapras〉
130-85-80-85-95-60(Total 535)
Ability: Water Absorb
Item: Weakness Policy
Nature: Modest
Moves: Surf, Freeze-Dry, Sheer Cold, Thunderbolt
EV Spread:H156 B68 C252 D4 S28

It can Gigantamax.
It has Weakness Policy. But I had always Dynamaxed Sandslash or Eiscue. So this Lapras didn’t work well.
The effect of G-Max Resonance is the same to Aurora Veil. There were not so many opportunities to use this Lapras.



〈Ninetales(Alolan)〉
73-67-75-81-100-109(Total 505)
Ability: Snow Warning
Item: Light Clay
Nature: Timid
Moves: Aurora Veil, Moonblast, Freeze-Dry, Sheer Cold
EV Spread:H156 B68 C252 D4 S28

When it’s sent out the battle, the Ability Snow Warning summons Hailstorm. Thanks to this hail, Ninetales can use Aurora Veil that protects our Pokémon!

There are some natural enemies of Ice Pokémon such as Volcarona or Aegislash. If you are bothered by such Pokémon, it’s time to do Sheer Cold! (It has only30% accuracy, but if it hits, the opponent will be fainted in one blow!)


All battles are very thrilling!
Eiscue must not receive Special Attack... Fire and Fighting attacks are too severe to Sandslash...
But Ninetales’ Aurora Veil had helped our Pokémon!

I was surprised by the power of Eiscue! Eiscue can drastically boost its Attack stats by Belly Drum.
Many Pokémon were fainted by Eiscue’s one attack! It was an exhilarating time.
