(Note that the first two pics on the bottom row are both of G-Darmanitan in its separate forms)

Our cold friends have all grown up! Snorunt splits and Jynx joins the fray, but will things work out any differently from yesterday?

Fun fact (New Pokemon Snap spoilers): Darmanitan is the only pokemon today that doesn't appear in New Snap!

Help, I want to vote for five of these.

Glalie > A-Sandslash > Froslass > Frosmoth > A-Ninetales > G-Darmanitan > Beartic > Avalugg > H-Avalugg > Jynx

The Top 7 are all very good and Glalie is my favorite Pokemon.

Going with the Ghost as usual

A-Sandslash > Froslass > Glalie > A-Ninetales > G-Darmanitan > Frosmoth > Beartic > Avalugg > Jynx

Well, this was hard since I don't have strong feelings about most of these.

I tried using Frosmoth in my gameplay but...she wasn't all that great in the late game. And the typing made her extra squishy.

I went with Glalie. I didn't like it very much at the start but it grew on me. And it's pretty useful in Pokemon Shuffle.

Froslass >> Alolan Sandslash > Avalugg > Alolan Ninetales > Beartic > Frosmoth >> Glalie > Galarian Darmanitan > Jynx

Not a close vote today. Froslass is one of my favourites and the others range from okay to bad.

A-Ninetails and A-Sandslash are both gorgeous. I've warmed up to A-Ninetails even more than before and it's probably a top ten or so 'mon for me now after using it in competitive and Radical Red. I also always wanted a new evo for Sandslash and while it's not quite it, A-Sandslash is just good. Frosmoth is also really nice looking, G-Darmanitan is goofy and also ridiculously fun to use and has a good ability, and then the rest are just kinda meh in comparison. There's not been many ice types in recent gens (or in general, really) but the ones we've gotten have been solid. Can't say the same about some of the other gens: Jynx is abominable, Glalie is a bland nothing-mon, and Beartic has a gigantic fluffy crotch, unfortunately.

One of my favorite things about Sword/Shield is the fact you can actually use a full team of six new Ice types.

Frosmoth
Mr. Rime
Darmanitan
Eiscue
Arctozolt
Arctovish

Or sub in Glastrier with the DLC if you really want.

Yeah, Ice has been passed by both Ghost and Dragon for rarest type, which just goes to show how few Ice types we've gotten in the last few gens since Ice had a pretty big lead on them early on.

God, I hate Ice types.

There are actually more legendary pokemon than ice types. 60 Legendary Pokemon, to 51 Ice types according to Bulbapedia's numbers

God, I love Ice types.

Froslass has just the best inspiration

I love Alolan Gen Is, I love Jynx ever since it kicked butt for me in Crystal and Glalie is great, but I gotta give it to Froslass. Honorable mention to Frosmoth.

I wish that Jynx looked like... anything else. Tremendously fun Pokemon to actually use, absolutely crushes both E4's in the first two gens outside of, like, Houndoom. Would easily make #1 if not for... uh... yeah.

Honestly I like all of them to some degree! There's usually some caveat attached, but whenever one isn't a solid design, it's pretty damn fun to use (Jynx, Mega Glalie, Snowy Darm). Will go Froslass as it's just a really strong interpretation of its mythological inspiration, but all are at least good.

Froslass easily

I do really like Darmanitan too though, he's one of my best 'mons in Go.

Froslass is always good. Jynx is eternally underrated. Darmanitan is one of the best regional forms. Zen Darmanitan is a completely crazy concept (and props for actually being usable unlike old Zen Mode).

Jynx is great. It's time to accept it.

Voted Glalie since it's one of my all-time faves.

Really surprised Froslass is leading

Froslass has easily the best Pokedex entires.

When it finds humans or Pokmon it likes, it freezes them and takes them to its chilly den, where they become decorations.

It's said that on nights of terrible blizzards, it comes down to human settlements. If you hear it knocking at your door, do not open it!

Alolan Ninetales > Froslass > Frosmoth > Galarian Darmanitan > Alolan Sandslash > Jynx > Avalugg > Beartic > Glalie

It's between Glalie and Frosmoth for me, though A-Ninetales is easily my fav version of any of the Vulpix line.

Voted Sonic but I also like Glalie and Frosmoth
