Slush Rush + Bolt Beak

>Built in Choice Band
>Steel type
>Gets Aurora Veil
>Marginally used more early on before never showing up again
>Uses early VGC usage when Calyrex-S is used way more and Spectrier is banned in Singles (while Glastrier is PU)

Hisuian Avalugg rapes your shit strawman like it's a low-caste woman in India, so get fucked.

Slush Rush + Bolt Beak is amazing user, you stupid or what?
>this disingenuous image
Sandslash-Alola wasn't even banned from NU on purpose, lmao

>>this disingenuous image
They like to cherry pick certain things in order to support their strawman. The same also happens for Grass and Rock.

it's because there will be mass anal devastation if a certain fossil pokémon loosely based on the amargasaurus got buffed because that would destroy their strawmen

Fire types are also shit so that is a moot point

>The same also happens for Grass and Rock.
Not really.
The only benefits of Ice are getting STAB on Ice moves and resisting Ice, while being weak to 4 types including Rocks.
Grass has merit because it resists Ground and Water, and then is immune to powder moves. They also get STAB on Grass attacks, which are super effective on Ground and Water.
Even if it has more weaknesses, it makes up for it by having quality resistances.

This is such a bad argument.
Pokémon are not or bad just because of their type. They are several factors that determine that, BST, Stat Distro, Movepool and its ability. A Pokémon is good because at least 2 or more of those are good. Of course the more of those attributes you excel at the better. You can be good despite having an awful typing.
Ice Type is TERRIBLE on the defense and GF's mold for ice-types is "Glacier" aka Slow and Bulky. Which is an awful fit for a Type with so many weaknesses and no resistances. Of course, not all Ice types are defensive and what do you know, the most successful ones ARE the ones built for agro.
Ice is a “Glass Canon” type, so the Pokémon who do that work better for it.

BASED

Then why is Alolan Sandslash below RU?

Slush Rush is banned from NU and below, and Snow Cloak is universally banned via evasion clause, so Alolan Sandslash is indirectly banned from NU due to both of its abilities being banned.

>Gorilla Tactics
>banned from NU because of slush rush
>Snow Warning Aurora Veil shenanigans
Off these only A-Ninetails would not benefit from not being ice type simply because of Hail

>Snow Warning Aurora Veil shenanigans
honestly it's not that compicated, it's just that A-Ninetales is the best Hail setter while K-Ninetales is not the best Sun setter.
K-Ninetales is not even close to bad, but smogon tiering is smogon tiering after all

Anything that isnt rotom heat or dogshit early gen 7 Alolawak gets obliterated.

How? Avalugg was already ice type, it’s nothing like user’s comparison.

>fast electric/ice stab under hail + veil with the electric part being base 170 for some god damn reason

Because it's not a shitmon.
Bolt Beak with Slush Rush and Boltbeam coverage are devastating.

being fast enough to set aurora veil is pretty much the reason alolan ninetales is the best hail setter though, since it is otherwise the worst weather by far
