Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Ice (August 7-14)

Favourite ice-type? This is kinda tough but I'll go with good ol' Piloswine. I've never used one myself to tell you the truth but I've seen it being used in competitive play and its unbelievably bulky, along with having some offensive presence itself. Other than that, its also absolutely adorable. It looks like it could go truffle hunting, sniffing around with that cute nose. I also really like the Swinub family in general as they have all around good-stats while also having adorable personalities in the anime. Swinub eating everything up was just so memorable. All in all my vote goes to the Swinub line. <3;

There aren't too many Ice types, so I easily picked my favorites.

Walrein has been one of my favorites for quite a long time. It can learn Sheer cold and Walruses in general are cool. It was the only Pokémon in the R/S/E Elite 4 that could take down my Blaziken (with its Surf).

Mamoswine was my other pick. It's one of my favorite 4th Gen. Pokémon and I was really glad that Piloswine was given an evolution. I wish more trainers in the games used Mamoswine.

I like most Ice-types, and once had a team of Ice types that had a fair bit of success in the OU tier. Anyway, here are the Ice types I didn't vote for and the reasons why:

Jynx: Because this Pokemon has been criticized by various media.
Delibird: A joke Pokemon. It is desperately asking for an evolution.
Vanilluxe: A disappointment in the competitive scene. She takes a very long time for herself to evolve into her final evolution, and thanks to a shallow movepool she is still not good enough.

I voted for the Snorunt line. Froslass is my favorite Ice-type, she's so mysterious. Snorunt is also pretty cute. Glalie is kinda meh though.

I voted for quite a few because I have a few fave Ice-types.

The Vanillite evolution line, despite their shallow movepools are just so cute and who doesn't love ice cream with smiles on it? For something so cute, it has impressive stats going for it.

Swinub line also gets a vote, specifically because Piloswine is my fave member of that line. For the same reasons as Narnia above, all that shaggy fur on it makes it really warm to cuddle! And also because Mamoswine makes a mark in competitive play for being one of the few Ice Pokemon not weak to Stealth Rock.

Glaceon, for being one of my fave Eeveelutions and also being my fave color.

And not to mention Cubchoo, that thing is adorable as heck and I like how it goes from cute to menacing.

I voted for Mamoswine + family. I just started training one; it's adorable + I love having it follow me. :]

The one that I wanted to vote for wasn't on the list, so I will just name it here. Articuno gets my vote in this week's poll because I have always loved it and it brings back such fond memories. I remember playing through Blue on my first time and encountering this bird in the islands. I was in awe that this Pokemon existed and I quickly used my Master Ball on it. I rushed to the PC to take it out and then it became the most valued member of my team. I have always used Articuno if given the possibility because I just cannot get enough of it. She is both beautiful and powerful which is an excellent combination in a Pokemon. Also I am a huge fan of it's dual typing so yeah it easily gets my vote this week.

Spheal family but more for Spheal itself. It's just so d*mn adorable. And I remember being astounded at the size of Walrein during the E4 run in Ruby.

Although I adore Swinub and his whole family, I'm voting for the Spheal family - more specifically Spheal itself. It's just such an adorable Pokémon that's always a pleasure to train and it evolves into the most glorious fatty out there - a truly glorious Pokémon family <3

On the list my votes went for Glaceon and the Spheal evolution line.

I also did vote other for Sneasel/Weavile. I absolutely love them!!

Lapras and Dewgong spring to mind first, but my favorite here would be Froslass. I like how her body is designed like a kimono. I adore the red bow and the two crystals. I also like how she is a female-only evolution and has a unique typing.

Ice is by far my favourite Type >u<

Glaceon is my all-time favourite Pokémon so, of course I voted for Glaceon ^^ But I also love Snorunt's line and Lapras ^-^

Spheal is the most adorable thing. Easily my favorite Ice-type.

Oh, no! I never pick a winner, being a bit presumptuous, I know!

Though, Spheal was my number three, it I hadn't limited myself to just two this time. I love walrein's beard and tusks, and spheal (spherical seal) is just as Scarf says, downright adorable! Plus, Sealeo stands out as being a great mid-stage evolution with them whiskers and spots.

I love my Eeveelutions, so Glaceon gets my vote. :D

Snorunt is a close second though. He was a beast in one of my Platinum playthroughs.

My favourite Ice type would be Froslass. It's unique typing really helped my decision, plus it's also quite powerful in battle as well and it's got a great design without suffering from the overdesigning that a few gen 4 and most gen 5 pokémon suffered from.

I remember the first Emerald run that I did as a kid, I had a Glalie that was the first Pokemon I've ever had to win all the competitions and stuff. She was also a very strong competitor against the Elite Four as well, so, I gotta give it to that group. I haven't played any of the more recent generations, so I couldn't tell you about the last evolution.
