And if a Pokemon has access to both moves, there's almost no reason to use Ice Beam, considering Frost Breath breaks through Calm Mind and Quiver Dance boosts.
Woops my mistake on that. Didn't really read the move up before answering and was under the impression it hit for 40. My bad. XD
That'd be correct. But most people have reasons for choosing Ice Beam over Frost Breath and vice versa. It all comes down to personal preference over the different advantages and disadvantages offered by each move. For one, I personally like using Ice Beam for the guaranteed hit (i.e it won't miss unless accuracy is modified by another move) and chance to freeze. Other people would prefer sacrificing some accuracy for Frost Breath in return for guaranteed crits.
Welcome to the club btw! I've always loved the really tough-looking ice types like Mamoswine, Abomasnow, Articuno and Weavile. As for Glaceon, eh, it's alright. Has a sort of cute design but it's not something that I'd really use either. :(
Um add an ice type specialist yes probably really this question puzzles me everyone would probably add a different specialist also who is Elsa? The only name ik close to that is elesa a electric type gym leader.
Elsa's the main character from the popular Disney movie
Frozen. I don't know much other than that but the movie was a huge hit with its catchy tunes, magic and all sorts of disney stuff that people have grown to love. She also has the ability to do all sorts of stuff with ice so that's probably where the inspiration for her as an ice specialist comes from. :)
As for frost breath...
Hey and welcome and yes i agree for one its 60 damage and ice beam is 90 frost breath crits which means it does 1.5x damage meaning its way over the power of ice beam so ya i guess frost breath would win but...
Not necessarily true. If Frost Breath did 1.5x damage with crits taken into account, it'd still do an equal amount of damage seeing as 60 x 1.5 = 90. But regardless, the guaranteed crit would be useful seeing as anything stacking sp. def against you is never fun. ;__;
Anyway my favourite special and psychical ice move? It's a tough choice seeing as there are a heap of different ice moves to choose from. Blizzard will probably always be one of my favourite special ice moves for the enjoyment you get out of using it while Ice Beam would be my go to choice. As for physical, probably Ice Punch or Ice Shard? Don't really know many physical ice moves other than that. XD
also at this rate, santa claus is gonna be the next most popular pokemon champ with this love <3
