Well which is better?
Water. Cause Water can use Ice Attacks.
When you think about it...
Ice type pokemon trump Dragons, which some believe to be the most powerful, Flying Grass and ground. However iirc all dragon types learn a fire move ,bar Hidden Power, meaning if they are speedy enough they can get rid of the ice types. Flying types are used rarely in competitive play making this not much of an advantage, Grass is taken out by fire and other moves which are far more common than the 12 attacking Ice moves(Fire has 16). Ground is whipped by water aswell, so this is a toss-up.
Ice moves include Haze and Mist which get rid of stat changes and prevent them.
Ice types get the Hail weather effect, which damages foes for 1/16 of hp, it also gives Blizzard 100% Accuracy, since Blizzard is a ice type it gets STAB aswell.
Water types Trump Fire Rock and Ground. Fire types are somewhat common, so this is a plus. Rock types have plenty of weaknesses so this isn't really a huge thing. Ground types again are hit by both equally.
Water moves include Aqua ring which cancels out weather effects like leftovers does, and withdraw which boosts Def one stage.
Water types get the Rain Dance weather effect, while this doesn't damage opponents it boosts water moves by 50% add that to STAB and you are in business. It makes Thunder 100% accurate but its a electric move which means no STAB for water. It also doubles speed for Swift Swimmers heals HP for Rain Dish and Dry skin pokemon, and Cure Status for Hydration ability users.
There is far more Water types than Ice types.
Water types also get 1/2 damage resistance when hit by a Ice move.
For me when you look at types it would be water. Besides I can't resist a smexy Gyarados
Water types are great in general. Just get octillery to use flamethrower on all those ice types
i thnk that are both of them are good
I think that there both good for movesets, but i personally prefer ice because i have a crazy and random obsession They both do look good too!
in my opinion i dont like either one of those types
you just need an electric pokemon with fighting attacks to beat the two types
and my fav type is fire so water is like the opposite
i'd say ice. theres LOADS of water type pokemon in the dex, but not alot of ice types. and if you think about it, ice types can freeze water types >=)
water types are better for various reasons...
the frist gen. didn't have any ice types ( besides the lend. bird articuno.....which is my favorite lend. out of all of them ) ( first gen. was the best! )
water types are ice types aswell ( for they can learn ice moves )
thank you for youe time......please Pm me if you would like to adverse on this topic.
Thank you all.
Water Types are obviously better since they all can use at least one ice attack. Not only that I love empoleon.
Ice is better. Ice can be froslass, so no fighting weakness, and while I use my quag more than my froslass, if quag was just water, I wouldn't use it as much.
I'm partial to the Water Pokemon - go piplup! - since they cancel fire types, which as someone stated, are common, I think they are more powerful. They have far better moves than Ice - name some good moves? Aqua Ring, Brine... Oh and water types are always good to have around because you have to use Waterfall and Surf in the game sometimes.
Ice all the way!!! Sheer cold!!!!
Both stink, for sure. I'm a fire fan so water, yeah, it's not good. Plus there's too many water type. Not a fan at all.
Water, Ice is just so... Limiting. x]
I don't really specialise in them, I'm more a fire/dragon person. [=
I seem to like Ice-types more, but I would say that water is better.
I like water types. I grew up enjoying swimming, so yeah. Although ice Pokemon does = instant cooler, so I guess it'd depend on the circumstances.
The better type would be water because ice sucks against fighting types.
ice because it has the FROZEN status.
water..hmmph...DROWNED status.
water...i say its the best type
If it wasn't for Swampert, I'd probably say Ice...
I love water, but ice is awesome too.
Water. Need I say more? I only use Water Pokemon in my game. My main team is a Rain Dance team. Gen 5 is giving us Boiling Water, 30% chance burn is much better than 10% freeze. Just water... If I say anything longer I'd give you a wall of text.
I think this poll needs a "They're both awesome" option. Therefore, I choose none.
Both water and ice are great, while my favorite Pokemon is water, ice has moves (Ice Beam, Ice Punch) that have pulled me through countless situations that water moves couldn't have.
Allow me to break the... ice! </bad joke>
Both, because i love:
i like ice, because i like that type of pokemon better than water like froslass, walrein (even though its both), glaceon, and all the spheal, and cloyster
probably cuz they're my savior when i have dragon pokemon to fight
they're so hard to be if you don't have an ice move
Water because Water types can learn ice beam or blizzard via team so i think there's no much use for ice types..
Both are alright, I guess. If I had no choice but to choose, ice, because water's everywhere.
Ice has always been the best offensive type, so I think I'll go with that. My first competitive team was a Hail team and I absolutely fell in love with the type and it's menacing Blizzards.
Water does hold one of my favorite Pokemon, Vaporeon, but the type is just too.. eh for me. Water type takes up like 40% of the Pokedex, and it's not all that fun to use anyway.
I'm not being a troll about it. I'm stating an obvious fact.
Water carries infinite possibilities of strategies. It is beautiful how flexible that type is. With Ice, you are limited to pure offense, no defense. How such a brutal type be possibly better than the most beautiful of types to use?The polls demonstrate that GPX has taken over the battling community.
ice types are my 2nd favorite type, sooo I choose ice... I'd kill for an Electric/Ice type
Water.
Ice. There aren't many Ice types compared to Water, which dominates all other types.
Screw you double post.
Ice. There are just more awesome ice types, at least percentage-wise since there are significantly more water types than pretty much anything else. I guess that's another reason, there are just too many water types so I get bored of seeing most of them. And I am saying this as someone whose favourite pokemon is a water type, I think that is saying something.
I likes Ice types better then water
Ice I guess. Ice types tend to be prettier *shot*
Water! Water is my second favorite type, the first being Grass. While they are both good options, Water has smexyness and also good Pokemon. Ice have good Pokemon, but for some reason they are sorta like a switching magnet to me. First they are attracted to me, and then not, then again, then not...
Quite simply, ice. It's super effective against two more types than water is, INCLUDING two types that resist water.
Plus it's the only type other that dragon that's super effective against dragons, and it's the bane of pretty much every pseudo-legend barring Metagross. Soooooo... yeah. Kinda unanimous for me.
Also kinda because Ice Beam is my favorite attack, but that's beside the point.
Water. Ice may be good for dragon types, but really what else is it good for?
I can't decide they are both on my top 3 types. The other one is Electric if you were wondering.
Ice its always more cool ^^ and strong ^^
Ice, it can defeat dragons
Personally, I am partial to water because It's my favorite type, but it also has several advantages over Ice, the chief one being it trumps fire types, arguably one of the most common of all types. Another advantage is a water types ablility to learn moves of several other types, Inculding several powerful Ice attacks.
Water/ice. With Thick Fat.
Water. Just overall more useful. Ice Pokemon usually annoy me, and I like using Dragon pokemon to knock out other dragons.
Water
I'm inclined to say that water types are better overall. They are more defensive in nature and most can learn Ice Beam and/or Blizzard, the most common move used to take out Dragons. Also most ice type pokemom are pretty much unusable imo, excluding a few like Abomasnow or Kyurem.
They both have their pros and cons, however I'm going to have to side with Water, just because of the diversity, better elemental resistances, less weaknesses and better ability to handle itself with or without its weather. (Hail, Rain Dance, etc.)
In my opinion water is better and it's one of my favourites pokemon types.
I voted Water. Although Water/Ice dual-types are bitchin'.
I voted for Ice, just because there are more Pokémon in that group that I really like or find funny.
Water, simply because it's my favorite type.
Ice is cooler (see what I did there? )
Where's the option both
Ice.
Obv.
Considering it can beat the crap out of those dang dragons. :S
I like both of these types but I would choose water because where else can you get a brilliant Magikarp that can evolve into a strong Gyarados
Water, because water pokémons can use surf and I love to swim in the sea
