Best Team: Best Pokemon to Use for the Story

Ice Type Not Essential to Clear Story

While Ice type moves can come in handy in a few places, such as against the Grass Type Gym Leader and the Ground Type Elite Four member, having an Ice Type on your team is not a top priority for clearing the main story.

Since Ice Pokemon do not become available until late game, and powerful Water Types like Gyarados and Empoleon can already learn a few Ice Type moves, we recommend simply using TMs to teach moves like Ice Fang or Ice Beam instead!
