[Winter Haven] Ice Club

x3 I dun care about Sneasel (no offense). Swinubs are still the best! RAWR :3 I've got that one loop of Swinub eating out of the food dish... and I don't care if I'm too old! I want that blasted Swinub Plushie $.$

My girlfriend compares me to a Swinub ;.; I've got a sensitive nose and sure love my food.

And good idea Diamond. Frostmite is so cheesy xD But, that's why it works ;D

[Ciax]

AW MUh GAWD
Frostmite sounds awesome, nintendo shud actually make it, Im thinking its around the size of durant, maybe a bit bigger

[zappyspiker]

I swear I've heard of Frostmite from somewhere else but even though their are already a lot of moth/butterfly pokemon already, a Ice butterfly would be epic. Though guess you'd have to think about all the other types of bugs and insects that aren't in Pokemon yet before increasing the load of Butterflies and moths we already have xD

Really, I just came up with that random name. xD Yeah, we've too many winged insects already. I'm still going for the Yeti. :3 And how about a snow fox? Like the polar version of Vulpix?

[zappyspiker]

I remember wanting an ice vuplix once a long time ago so I drew one:

Spoiler:

But yeah, a snow fox would definitely be at the top of my list for new ice pokemon. Just as long as it's a duel type - Also don't want it too look too much like vulpix cause that's unoriginal

[Snow Phoenix]

That could solve the ice/fire issue? It's not a dragon and I see it as a viable fire/ice combo.

Nice job on the Ice Vulpix btw :3

[BinaryPeaches]

Reminds me of the Winter Vulpix/Winter Ninetales on GPX+. It's cute~ n_n

But yeah, something like that could work for a fire/ice. Maybe not Vulpix perse, but a Arctic Fox that looks similar to Vulpix but different could work out.

Speaking of Arctic Fox, I would love to see a Snow Leopard Pokemon, or perhaps an Ice/Flying Snowy Owl?

[zappyspiker]

Thanks :3

As long as the snowy owl looks nothing like Hoothoot >.< But seriously I could imagine a snowy owl! There's only two Ice/ Flying, I don't see why we shouldn't add one more :D

[Ciax]

Isn't Delibird a snowy owl. I would still like a new snowy owl but it would be hard to make it more awesome than delibird. Now if only delibird could actully battle i think it could rule the world with its cutenes

This picture attached is just one example of the cuteness/awesomsauce of delibird. I think i may be a bit obsessed. ;p

[Snow Phoenix]

xD Delibird is interesting. I guess it is a Snowy Owl and yes Delibirds are cute :3 They're kind of goofy which makes it so epic... especially if it has a "serious" nature ^.^ I want to use one in a challenge sometime.

Actually Delibird has been defined as more of a Penguin than a snowy owl and two be honest I've never looked at it in turns of it being an owl

Aspects of Delibird's appearance appear to come from the Rockhopper Penguin. However, its red and white color scheme, its ability to give presents, and the appearance of carrying its sack-like tail may have been derived from Santa Claus. Delibird may have also been inspired by puffins, which are penguin-like birds that still have the ability to fly.

Although never really used it in my team I really liked how it gives presents which blow up as an attack

[BinaryPeaches]

Like Zappyspiker, I've always considered Delibird more as Penguin than as a Snowy Owl, and I like it more as a Penguin Pokemon than Piplup. But I guess Piplup was made because Delibird wasn't penguin enough. :( I've always wanted to use Delibird on a team myself but never really got around to doing so. baw.

I guess I thought of Delibird as the Penguin Pokemon but then along came piplup and I thought it if more as the main penguin pokemon compared to Delibird.

I remember trying to catch one in crystal and for some reason I would always accidentally make it fain xD

[BinaryPeaches]

Personally I like Delibird more than Piplup as a Penguin, but that's just me. xD; I don't think I've ever had a problem catching Delibird. I think I had trouble catching Sneasel the most, but that was a given. It was in Crystal (I think?) trying so long to try to catch a Sneasel in the Ice Cave. I forget the reason why, since they're at Mt. Silver, but I don't remember if Sneasel was able to be caught there on Crystal or not.

Haha that happened to me too. It was the time after I had caught Delibird, I tried to catch a sneasel in Crystal but all these Delibird and Swinub kept popping up. Though eventually I was able to catch it... though it too so long :/

[BinaryPeaches]

Silly Sneasel and it's hiding skills. I don't remember why I wasted so much time trying to catch one, since I never put it on my team afterwards. Now that I think about it, I haven't had an Ice Pokemon on my team in... a looong time (is ever). I should really change that the next time I get a chance to. Other than Delibird, I've always wanted to use Dewgong, Cloyster, Lapras, and Froslass. At least. Though if you count Colosseum I used Piloswine for a good while during the Challenge event in the Challenge forum.

[Ciax]

Yeah i think of delibird as a cross between penguin and owl cause penguins cant fly. Also i have used froslass, lapras, walrein, weaville and beartic in my teams. :D

I already said it before, Delibirds are across between Puffins, Rockhopper Penguins and Santa Claus xD :

As for the Ice Pokemon that have been in my team:
White: Vanillish + Beartic had epic help in Mistralton Gym and especially Opelucid Gym
Crystal + HG: Caught a Lapras on a Friday and turned out pretty useful as both an Ice and Water type.
Diamond + HG + Crystal: My ace ice type - Sneasel, helps me so much in catching roaming legendaries and using False Swipes to help me catch Pokemon.

Other ones I've had on my team are Abomasnow and Piloswine but they were on my team for a short time. I've caught others but didn't really use them much.

[BinaryPeaches]

Ahhh, I remember using Abomasnow! But it was only for a little while, because he wasn't really doing too much for my team, he leveled up slowly, and I ended up restarted the file I was trying to use him. xD; You would think that Abomasnow would be a little more useful with that ability of his, but his 4x weakness to Fire is a bit of a killer imo.

[zappyspiker]

I remember using him cause I caught him at like Level 50 and my pokemon were pretty under leveled at the point of time, loved him for a bit, then in came a flamethower and I kicked him outta the team... sorry Abomasnow xD

[Snow Phoenix]

That's why you put him in an Ice Mono as your lead and play around with hail support :3 That's what I did anyways

[zappyspiker]

You know I never thought about doing an Ice Mono, but now you mention it Hail will have great use for your team in Ice Mono especially seeing as it won't damage your team but it'll hit your opponents (Unless they have Ice Pokemon of course :D)

[Snow Phoenix]

Yuppers. There's also stuff like Ice Body and Snow Cloak too! Froslass with brightpowder goes really well after an Abomasnow lead <3

[zappyspiker]

I can't say which Abilities related to Ice pokemon are my favoruite. Ice Body increases your HP in a hailstorm, Snow Cloak is like buizel when it's raining but instead of speed, raises evasiveness making it harder to hit your pokemon and Snow Warning releases hailstorm....

I like Snow Warning but only if my team has a lot of ice pokemon and I have abomaas my starting pokemon. But out of them my favourite would have to be Snow Cloak - I love evasiveness xD

[Snow Phoenix]

Agreed <3 Gotta love that evasion and there's a good mix of Pokemon with it. Glaceon and Mamoswine and most notably that Froslass

Ice body is great on Walrein though. Ever heard of Stallrein?
