Articuno. It is so majestic, and I remember using it to save me from Lance's dragons in Yellow. Also Pokemon: the movie 2000 only increased my love of Articuno.
QOTD: I think it's delibird, he might be useless in a competitive way, but his santa claus inspiration and the "present" mechanic fits so well with a cute bird.
QOTD: Galarian Darmanitan. I love how absurdly hard he can hit, basically having the stats of a legendary with an item. I like Glastrier and Regice too though
QOTD: know everyone gonna kill me for this but I like Weaville and Jynx. I like Weaville because a really cool glass cannon and I like Jynx because it carried me in my Crystal Playthrough. It's also a pretty cool glass cannon
I love Jynx too! To this day I hate the fact Jynx didnt get an evolution or an alternate form. I swear if you say you like Jynx or Vanillite like they think you're trolling
I really loved that Viz put Stickerbrush symphony in 3rd battle for Articuno, such a chill song for a chill Pokemon. QOTD: Always has been Articuno, ever since old days in RBY, it was the pokemon who I used to become Pk league champion for the first time and I always loved it's majestic design, really love Articuno.
Plus with water ice typing, there is no pokemon that doesn't take at least neutral from one of its stabs, since freeze dry is super effective to water types.
Kyurem is my favorite! It's formes made it become a fan favorite. I love the concept of the Tao Trio, especially Kyurem is in between Reshiram and Zekrom.
QOTD: Mamoswine because my friend wanted alolan ninetales on his competitive team and hated when I used the same Pokémon as him so I used Mamoswine instead and it grew on me.
QOTD: Snom/Frosmoth. I never really had any attachment to any ice types before them. And I mean, come on. Look at that thing! No surprise it got into the top 30 in the pokemon of the year poll!
My favourite Ice-type is Weavile since it not only looks awesome but it's the type of Pokemon that makes one of the best uses of the Ice-type's offensive properties and more Ice-types should be like Weavile. I also like Alolan Sandslash a lot since it probably has the best ice-themed design and it's both cute and cool.
QOTD: All formes of kyurem. Regular kyurem has decent bulk and good special attack. Black kyurem turns into a sweeper with one DD and white kyurem just nukes everything on the special side
Articuno is my favorite Pokémon favorite Pokémon of all time & Ice is my favorite typing of all time. I love it’s design & it’s shiny is very underrated in the game... While it does have weaknesses, it is still very viable in neutral and favorable matchups with great offensive moves & an annoying bulk. Articuno is an underrated legendary in my opinion & I think Dynamax has now given it the opportunity to shine in competitive battles. Side Note: Galarian Articuno is a beast. If Game Freak ever gives it Ice Moves, it will wreck competitive play & its shiny is gorgeous.
QOTD: well Glaceon has always been part of my teams, even in competitive play I've used both a weakness policy and never-melt ice set, plus her (Glaceon has always been a female on my teams) design is so cool, look at that artwork, she just smiles waiting for your opponent to experience death from a +2 modest STAB blizzard. All I can say is that I truly am affectionate to Glaceon as a whole Edit: dammit Smash remixes truly hit differently... except Gladion's theme, like, I hate to say that remix sucks but that is
I don't care that articuno isn't the easiest mon to use cause he's cool,nostalgic and an "OG" mon this was one of the legendary for us oldies!! #childhood
QOTD: Alolan Ninetales. Love the type combination. Love the move pool. Has great utility and can be used in a variety of roles from Aurora Veil setter to revenge killer for dragons. Legendary favorite is still Articuno. Best design of the legendary birds by far!
As much as I love Weavile, I adore Alolan Ninetales, she’s so majestic. Even though she dies from Steel moves in one hit, she’s still very amazing. Weavile too gets OHKO’d from a single Mach Punch STAB
Kyurem is my favourite ice type pokemon because of how it looks. It has the mix of being frozen while looking like a dragon. The "wings" on its back breaks when it is going to fuse, as shown in the cutscene where Ghetsis used the dna splicers on kyurem to fuse reshiram or zekrom depending on your game. It isnt like its full body is made of ice which makes it even more unique unlike the stupid ice cream called the vanillite line. Also because I want to see Kyurem's full form in the gen 5 remakes.
stealth rock is just nasty, it's one of the reasons Charizard and Articuno have been in NU for a during DPP AND BAW, devog got buffed and that's why their back in good tiers
Love articuno the most out of all legendary birds. I wanna build a vgc team around it but it seems quite hard as I recently see a lot of sand teams on the ladder again :S
Espeon with magic bounce is AWESOME for confusing the HELL out of people who use switch traps, like stealth rocks, spikes, even the unique steel-type stealth rocks of Gmax Copperajah! Combine it with copycat after using Shell Smash, and you can pretty much sweep ANYBODY who dares to oppose you.
Alolan Sandslash, or Snowslash, because I love regular Sandslash and Marowak but their alolan forms don't make me have to pick between one or the other without type overlap and have flygon all on the same team
Weavile! Back in diamond pearl, dragon type were top tier. This cat was manage to take them out as well as Gengar and Cresellia. Donkey Kong is the best!!
Qotd: Gen 4 bias showing but...Abomsnow, Weavile or Mamoswine for sure, but Vaniliuxe not even trolling because I caught a shiny Vanillite lol. I'm a gen 2 baby so when I was surprised the hate it got cause I was never really on social media when I was a kid I avoid spoilers like a plague (still do to date) . Plus I needed it for the dragon pokemon because Druddigon was too slow and back up plan for if Haxorus goes down.

Articuno. It is so majestic, and I remember using it to save me from Lance's dragons in Yellow. Also Pokemon: the movie 2000 only increased my love of Articuno.
His team was so triggering and u gotta have atlest an ice type to beat it lmaoo
Mamoswine, good stats, best STAB typing in the game, counters the genies and intimidate users, etc. I also have always really liked mamoswine anyways
QOTD: I think it's delibird, he might be useless in a competitive way, but his santa claus inspiration and the "present" mechanic fits so well with a cute bird.
It's unique as the only ice type that gets hustle, so it may have some use
Some
QOTD: Abomasnow all the way. I love the design and how it’s the only hail setter immune to rage powder and spore
Sadly it has 7 weaknesses and 1 is a 4× (to fire)
QOTD: Weavile, great coverage and a cool glass cannon. Slap a band on it and it can hit harder than a truck.
Agreed, banded Knock off is nearly impossible to switch into 😎
Agree completely
I have the exact same comment but with sneasel lol
Weavile will always be a good mon in my opinion like the power creep in crown tundra is unbelievable yet Weavile stands in UUBL, that’s my boi
Unless the Pokemon has mach punch or bullet punch like scizor
QOTD: My favorite ice type is cryogonal hits hard on the special side decent speed and some nice special defense. Kinda underrated ❄️
QOTD: Galarian Darmanitan. I love how absurdly hard he can hit, basically having the stats of a legendary with an item. I like Glastrier and Regice too though
Zen mode is even more terrifying because you don’t even have to be locked in for that set to work well.
Spheal is so cute. I have a shirt that says “spheal with it”
That’s actually adorable
that's adorable
Qotd: Frosmoth, it has an amazing ability and can do a lot of damage once you get some quiver dances up. Also, it got a very cool design.
QOTD: Lapras because he was my favourite pokemon when i was a kid :)
I stan Glaceon because of how sassy it looks.
QOTD: know everyone gonna kill me for this but I like Weaville and Jynx. I like Weaville because a really cool glass cannon and I like Jynx because it carried me in my Crystal Playthrough. It's also a pretty cool glass cannon
Weavile rules
I love Jynx too! To this day I hate the fact Jynx didnt get an evolution or an alternate form. I swear if you say you like Jynx or Vanillite like they think you're trolling
There’s a heavy reason for which I use Articuno rather than other birds 🤍
QOTD: Alolan sandslash its so dam cool, is typing is awesome and its pretty good in competitive.
Uh... Have you seen Alolan Sandslash's stats...?
Ice/Steel is not a good typing in competitive..
@@2oorsymcbuster833 it’s type is cool I never said good. It’s type can do bits tho
@@aqualight1760 ....slush rush
@@harvesterman5210 noticed I misread it's as is. Alolan Sandslash still has a relatively rough time in the competitive field though.
I really loved that Viz put Stickerbrush symphony in 3rd battle for Articuno, such a chill song for a chill Pokemon.
QOTD: Always has been Articuno, ever since old days in RBY, it was the pokemon who I used to become Pk league champion for the first time and I always loved it's majestic design, really love Articuno.
Sneasel is the coolest ice type
No pun intended
AND he’s one of the OG dark types
A man of culture I see
QOTD: Lapras, thanks to water absorb and freeze dry it was fun to counter water types in competitive
Plus with water ice typing, there is no pokemon that doesn't take at least neutral from one of its stabs, since freeze dry is super effective to water types.
@@louiesatterwhite3885 Shedinja begs to differ 😁
@@mahatisekar7149 irrelevant, was talking about typing and not abilites.
QOTD: Cloyster for sure. Survive a shell smash and it will beat you up with icicle spear with skill link ability.
Alliance sandshrew and arctozolt are pretty cool too
Kyurem is my favorite! It's formes made it become a fan favorite. I love the concept of the Tao Trio, especially Kyurem is in between Reshiram and Zekrom.
I didn’t know they were based on the yin yang symbol
This is WHY you need to be suscribed to Viz
Love all of your content, man. Keep the awesome work!
QOTD: Aurorus cuz she reminds me of land before time and the northern lights the latter which I hope I see one day
I've never agreed on something more
Right? I forgot to mention it's cry which is one of my favourites
Such a great video! I love that you keep the SFX in and pair it with awesome music :)
QOTD: My favorite ice type is Alolan Ninetales because of its design
articuno its so majestic looking and its a tank when on dynamax and i love its shiny
QOTD: Mamoswine, it got decent bulk, very powerful with either Life orb or Choice band and great STAB combination
The best STAB typing*
@@bigyoshii yes 😀
QOTD: Frosslass because it's kinda pretty.
also is it me or did nintendo just used one specific voice for most of the dynamaxed pokemon?
They used the same method, echo and lower pitch. They don’t really sound that identical but they have the same vibe.
QOTD: Avalugg. Who doesn't want a fucking ice crocodile?
Plus this guy with weakness policy and Avalanche is a decent niche
QOTD: Mamoswine because my friend wanted alolan ninetales on his competitive team and hated when I used the same Pokémon as him so I used Mamoswine instead and it grew on me.
Mamoswine doesnt fulfill the same role as A-Ninetales though
@@louiesatterwhite3885 Yeah I know but I just wanted to replace the nintales with another ice type.
QOTD: Snom/Frosmoth. I never really had any attachment to any ice types before them. And I mean, come on. Look at that thing! No surprise it got into the top 30 in the pokemon of the year poll!
QOTD : for me Shiny Articuno becuase of the color that makes it more elegant looking, the majestic beauty of it is so mesmerizing.
QOTD: mamoswine
Thick fat
130 atk
Stab Priority
Excellent dual typing offensively
Awesome design
Love it both in anime and games
QOTD: Eiscue, pretty op and underrated
I really appreciate the Spear Pillar/DKC2 music. Really hits the nostalgia factor in a good way.
Had to comment again since you played both music from one of my favorite game!
Thx Viz! You are the best!
QOTD: Probably calyrex ice rider form its typing may not be good but it's signature is amazing also it's ability is quite good as well
My favourite Ice-type is Weavile since it not only looks awesome but it's the type of Pokemon that makes one of the best uses of the Ice-type's offensive properties and more Ice-types should be like Weavile. I also like Alolan Sandslash a lot since it probably has the best ice-themed design and it's both cute and cool.
QOTD: All formes of kyurem. Regular kyurem has decent bulk and good special attack. Black kyurem turns into a sweeper with one DD and white kyurem just nukes everything on the special side
QOTD: aurorus, gorgeous design, dinosaurs are awesome, and its ability to turn normal moves into ice moves is pretty rad. Bye bye dragons
QOTD: My Favorite ice type pokemon is Articuno, because it the most durable among the legendary birds and looks "cool".
QOTD: Weavile, it’s rlly cool and fast, a glass cannon but makes up for great attack and speed
That’s what a glass canon is...
I know lol
Which is why I said it is a glass cannon
@@hakuresskress6026 it’s that you basically said, “Weavile, it’s rlly cool and fast, a glass canon but makes up for it by being a glass canon”
Oh sorry I thought you meant that in a bad way
Beartic, underrated Pokémon and the design is both cute and powerful.
Articuno is my favorite Pokémon favorite Pokémon of all time & Ice is my favorite typing of all time.
I love it’s design & it’s shiny is very underrated in the game... While it does have weaknesses, it is still very viable in neutral and favorable matchups with great offensive moves & an annoying bulk.
Articuno is an underrated legendary in my opinion & I think Dynamax has now given it the opportunity to shine in competitive battles.
Side Note: Galarian Articuno is a beast. If Game Freak ever gives it Ice Moves, it will wreck competitive play & its shiny is gorgeous.
QOTD: froslass :) her design is amazing and so creative!
Yo Viz what are the Evs distribution on the Articuno. Looks like its played bulky, but a bit slow.
8:14 I was like is that song from donkey Kong 2 l
Indeed it is. It’s Stickerbrush Symphony and then goes to Forest Interlude
Nice music choice. Love DK music.
QOTD: well Glaceon has always been part of my teams, even in competitive play I've used both a weakness policy and never-melt ice set, plus her (Glaceon has always been a female on my teams) design is so cool, look at that artwork, she just smiles waiting for your opponent to experience death from a +2 modest STAB blizzard. All I can say is that I truly am affectionate to Glaceon as a whole
Edit: dammit Smash remixes truly hit differently... except Gladion's theme, like, I hate to say that remix sucks but that is
Mamoswine. Great colors, great design, great stats, great concept, and great in general.
I don't care that articuno isn't the easiest mon to use cause he's cool,nostalgic and an "OG" mon this was one of the legendary for us oldies!! #childhood
QoTD: Alola Sandslash I love how it looks and it’s shiny looks even better
QOTD: Alolan Ninetales. Love the type combination. Love the move pool. Has great utility and can be used in a variety of roles from Aurora Veil setter to revenge killer for dragons. Legendary favorite is still Articuno. Best design of the legendary birds by far!
lapras is a big bulky friend who would definitely comfort you if you were sad 12/10
Mamoswine it’s my favorite because I love mammoths and it looks so cool (pun intended 😊)
qotd: kyurem , white was my first game and wandering around the postgame and stumbling across kyurem is an experience i cant forget
Qotd: glaceon eevee is my favourite normal type and is so unique and glaceon is so majestic and is fun to use with specs
QOTD: Alolan Sandslash.
We had a Guinea pig named Gizmo. He passed away. But I always loved Sandslash because of the hair like Gizmo.
Viz is the GOD DAMN goat
As much as I love Weavile, I adore Alolan Ninetales, she’s so majestic.
Even though she dies from Steel moves in one hit, she’s still very amazing. Weavile too gets OHKO’d from a single Mach Punch STAB
Articuno is the legit best ice type! Don’t let anyone tell you wrong my precious elegant friend!
QOTD: Avalugg, I think. It's got some serious bulk and I love it's design
And my love for articuno begon from the moovie pokemon 2000
Articuno using blizzard in the hail looks amazing. Like aesthetically it looks so damn amazing
QOTD: ninetales-alola, is beautiful and it's very useful. When I saw it in the trailers of pokemon sun and moon, I just choose the sun versión for him
Kyurem is my favourite ice type pokemon because of how it looks. It has the mix of being frozen while looking like a dragon. The "wings" on its back breaks when it is going to fuse, as shown in the cutscene where Ghetsis used the dna splicers on kyurem to fuse reshiram or zekrom depending on your game.

The Donkey Kong Country 2 music though >>>>>>>
QOTD : I don't have much ice types faves I like cryogonal tho
stealth rock is just nasty, it's one of the reasons Charizard and Articuno have been in NU for a during DPP AND BAW, devog got buffed and that's why their back in good tiers
Heavy duty boots is also a reason for that
Love articuno the most out of all legendary birds. I wanna build a vgc team around it but it seems quite hard as I recently see a lot of sand teams on the ladder again :S
Espeon with magic bounce is AWESOME for confusing the HELL out of people who use switch traps, like stealth rocks, spikes, even the unique steel-type stealth rocks of Gmax Copperajah! Combine it with copycat after using Shell Smash, and you can pretty much sweep ANYBODY who dares to oppose you.
I always thought Articuno should be a defense based Pokemon not offense cuz it's defensive stats are higher
Double thumbs up for uploading reverse sweeps with an NU mon and using good music 👌
I love glaceon i find it so adorable and i just like the design so much
Qotd: Froslass… it ice/ghost type is really cool to me…. And I love the fact it 100% feamle!
I wish it had freeze dry though lol
QOTD: Articuno 💜 for normal pokemon, Glaceon/Aurorus
All of ice mons are cool
QOTD: Abomasnow ,he's pretty cool and i just love his cry,sounds like a motorcycle
Alolan Sandslash, or Snowslash, because I love regular Sandslash and Marowak but their alolan forms don't make me have to pick between one or the other without type overlap and have flygon all on the same team
QOTD I really like crabomidable it’s a cool concept and a really cool typing
Another one includes froslass because I’m a fan of fast Pokémon lol
Favorite ice type?
Glaceon.
Why?
Because I’m omega normie. Eevee and it’s evolutions are easily my favorite Pokémon...they’re just so adorable..
QOTD: my favorite ice type was alolan ninetales because it looks beautiful and i had one in lets go eevee.
QOTD: Avalugg. dont ask why i think it just looks cool
QOTD: glaceon. IMO most cutest Pokémon design ever
QOTD: Dewgong, I always liked that pokemon. Articuno is close and it is my favorite legendary
QOTD: Dewgong because it's cute and in a battle with a friend helped me to beat 5 of his 6 Pokémon back in gen3
Loved it most when Donkey Kong country music came on
Does viz upload the pokepaste anywhere? I’m only able to make teams on showdown so I can’t see the EVs on the rental code screen 😭
He always puts the team in the comments but ig this time he forgot.
Weavile is my favorite Ice type. Looks dope af.
Qotd: sneasel it is a surprisingly amazing sweeping pokemon, can do some amazing stuff like ohko ttar whimsicott and even galar moltres
Weavile! Back in diamond pearl, dragon type were top tier.
This cat was manage to take them out as well as Gengar and Cresellia.
Donkey Kong is the best!!
One of the only Garchomp checks, but you had to run an extremely specific set.
Qotd: Gen 4 bias showing but...Abomsnow, Weavile or Mamoswine for sure, but Vaniliuxe not even trolling because I caught a shiny Vanillite lol. I'm a gen 2 baby so when I was surprised the hate it got cause I was never really on social media when I was a kid I avoid spoilers like a plague (still do to date) . Plus I needed it for the dragon pokemon because Druddigon was too slow and back up plan for if Haxorus goes down.
QOTD: Articuno has been my favorite since stadium!
Sneasel damn thing felt like a proper rare mon in gsc
Articuno is my favourite out of the three birds,ngl.
Kyurem. By far and definitely the best ice type In the game.
QOTD: glaceon, love the design
QOTD: Gotta be ninetales!
Alolan one. Cause the original is a fire type.
QOTD:
My Favorite ice Pokemon is alolan ninetales because it Looks very beautyful :)
The music at 9:35 sounds like donky kong country on snes
