Strategy & Metagame The Cold Shoulder

[Starl]

Idea
I have been doing Ice Mono for a while now, and I've noticed that there is little room for deviation in the play style. Because of this, in order for Ice to survive in the metagame, it has to become HO, or Hyper Offensive. I will discuss it's typing, it's lack of defensive capabilities, the few Pokemon that are already in OU, how the Ice Type works in lower tiers, the ice movepool, and how it proposes a challenge to people who want to try out the Mono Metagame.

I have a feeling the topic here might be too "specific", but I'll tag Valmanway and The Immortal for their input.

Hmm, Mono-Ice is actually the least used according to usage stats. It is a bit too specific. An alternate idea is the best and worst of Monotype, where you can talk about the most used Mono-Bug and the least used Mono-Ice.

More importantly, I don't think you're qualified to write an article on Monotype. You have not contributed to the Monotype thread, and have a poor record on the Monotype ladder.

Rejected.
