Characteristics
Defense
Resisting only itself, the Ice type is tied with Normal as the least-resistant type. However, it is immune to freezing, damage from hail, and Sheer Cold (as of Generation VII).
Offense
Ice pairs well with other common attacking types, most notably Ground, which deals at least neutral damage to all types resisting Ice and covers Fire and Steel while Ice covers Flying and Grass. As of Generation VII, Sheer Cold is more accurate when used by an Ice Pokémon.
Contest properties
When used in Pokémon Contests, most Ice-type moves become Beautiful moves, with one Cool move being the only exception.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 58 Ice-type Pokémon or 5.66% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Ice-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolans and Galarians), making it the rarest type.

In the TCG
- Main article: Water (TCG)
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Ice-type Pokémon are generally listed as Water-type Pokémon.
Ice-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fighting and Metal with no resistances. Ice-type Pokémon are strong against Fighting and Fire Pokémon, whilst Grass and Colorless Pokémon can resist this type.
Trivia
- Generation VIII introduced the most Ice-type Pokémon of any generation, with nine, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Ice-type Pokémon, with four.
- Should regional forms not be counted, Generation VII introduced the least, with only one.
- Generation I introduced the most Ice-type moves of any generation, with six, and Generation VI introduced the fewest Ice-type moves, with only one.
- In Generation I, no Ice-type Pokémon were able to evolve. They either were in the final stage of their evolutionary family or were not part of one. The first Ice-type that could evolve during its debut was Swinub.

- According to the japanese Pokémon site, the coldest known temperature achieved by Ice-type Pokémon is set by Ice Rider Calyrex of -508°F (-300°C) which is impossible in the real world.
- Only the Normal type has a lower number of resistances than the Ice-type, having no resistances (but one immunity). Ice only resists itself.
- Alola is the only core series region to not introduce an Ice specialist, although Ice-type specialist Sina does make appearances in said region.

- Ice-type attacks are resisted by all types that Water-type Pokémon resist.
