Electric/Ice Type

Electric/Ice and Ice/Electric are the same defensive pairing; this page uses electric-ice as the canonical URL. Electric/Ice is an offense-first pairing that pressures Water, Flying, Dragon, Grass, and Ground targets. Representative Pokémon include Arctozolt, Frost Rotom. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Fire, Fighting, Ground, Rock. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from no ¼× resistance; ½× resists Electric, Ice, Flying, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.

Offensive plan

Electric STAB threatens Water and Flying targets, while Ice STAB pressures Dragon, Flying, Grass, and Ground targets. Fire, Fighting, Ground, and Rock all hit for 2×. The typing has excellent coverage, but it needs support because several common attack types punish it defensively.

Counterplay and defensive risks

To counter Electric/Ice, start with the chart pressure: Fire, Fighting, Ground, Rock. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.

Team-building advice

Electric/Ice needs Fire, Fighting, Ground, and Rock answers. Water, Flying, Fairy, Steel, and Ground-immune partners can cover those lanes while Electric/Ice focuses on forcing damage. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Fire, Fighting problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
