3 "Great" Ice Type Pokemon

In contrast to my most recent post, it would be expected to do the natural thing and cover the top 5 Ice Type Pokemon. However I think we should mix things up a bit and just touch base on a few awesome icy babes that don't get enough attention as they should.

In general, ice types tend to have rather well-rounded stats as a whole, with a slight lenience toward special attack and defense. Best know for their well-rouded attackers and crazy special walls, Ice type was the be-all end-all for dragon smashers before the introduction of fairy type in Gen 6. The youngin's will never understand the power that a well-trained vaporeon with ice bean could be.

And so let's start our adventures into some weird or fantastic pokemon of the Ice Typing.


DELIBIRD
Why oh God why does this pokemon exist? It is a mess of a pokemon with almost know use besides its comical presence in the world of pokemon.
I mean, Jack Frost pokemon, sounds awesome.
Easter bunny pokemon, lacking but still pretty alright.
Tooth fairy pokemon, okay no stop please.
BUT SANTA. WHY?
Delibird has to be the most useless of all the ice-type pokemon as it knows one attack that has a chance of healing your opponent.
Unless you're going for a gag gift, stay far far away from Delibirb.


REGICE
The master golem of ice and snow, Regice, probably one of the most powerful ice type pokemon, right?
Well in ways, yes. In other ways no no no no.
As a child regice always kinda scared me a lot. Especially with his mildly terrifying presence in the movie, "Lucario and the Mystery of Mew" on of my favorites as a child. So with this I tried to stay as far away from Regice as possible.
Didn't really work out as later, when my fear faded, I found out he's actually a pretty great Pokemon. He's got THE BEST special defense in the whole world and with that he has a whole lot to offer. When it comes down to it some of the best fire type type attackers are special but rock, steel, and fighting are all pretty physical types. So Regice is nice and all, but as nice as ice might slice the twice dice, it's the price of rice to splice our vice.


AVALUGG
I'm gonna give it to you straight, I personally believe there is no reason as to why Avalugg should exist, yet it does and by god I love it. This pokemon is not only horribly useless but it is just the stupidest design on all of earth and I love it to death. Avalugg is flat at a board and heavy as a feather. By heavy as a feather I mean this thing weighs over a thousand pounds. Avalugg lying on its belly would make a great compressor, but other than that this bae has almost no practical use. Yeah his defense stat is OUT OF THIS WORLD but his speed and special defense are CRIPPLING. Poor babe is just a hunk of ice with no real purpose.
Don't worry Avalugg, I'll love you.
