Haki crush gg ovo.

Anyways, Articuno is 1.75 times stronger, so the strength advantage is basically non-existent. Both are also resistant to ice attacks, so their ice abilities won't matter.
This gives Articuno a hefty advantage, as it has plenty of other options to use like confusing Aokiji or putting him to sleep (Both of which would leave Aokiji wide open for an attack).

Yeah, since both resists each other's main trick it comes to versatility. Kuzan has Haki, but he can't counter SEI at all.

Articuno doesn't resist ice. It's part flying type so ice is entirely neutral. Articuno also doesn't get any sleep inducing moves.

Kuzan punches the head of that poor chicken with a haki strike

Check again. It says "Resistance to Ice Attacks" on Articuno's profile.IntonerKun said:

And I'm saying that's wrong. It has no resistance to ice attacks and that's entirely dictated by the battle system every Pokemon has to obey. Show me Articuno resisting ice type attacks.Unoriginal Memes said:

Aokiji is ice. That's like saying fire can be burned by the sun.GyroNutz said:

The neutral damage is likely game mechanics. There should be a source where he actually resists.

Type advantages exist in the anime and manga. I don't know where that resistance came from but it's 100% wrong.

Mind Reader is only a guaranteed hit in the games. It's just slight precog, like normal Haki.Bobsican said:

I still don't see where you're getting that Articuno resists sheer cold. Ice types can be hit by it too. It also has a near 0% chance to hit, if not 0, considering it hits only %20 of the time and Aokiji has amazing observation Haki. He can be seen using his Haki similarly to Katakuri and pre-breaking his body long before an enemy attack even manifests. Sheer cold is not a factor. Kuzan fought a direct weekness in Akainu for 10 entire days, what is Articuno going to do? If anything Kuzan would Haki crush the poor weak-willed bird.Bobsican said:

-"Resisting only itself, the Ice type is tied with Normal as the least-resistant type. However, it is immune to freezing, damage from hail, and Sheer Cold (as of Generation VII)"

I mean, the flapping of Articuno's wings chills the air and causes snowfall.

We know, everyone knows.
And it hurts, because Ice is a cool type.

Ice is a sh** defensive type.
Tfw elemental strengths and weaknesses between different verses don't apply the same way in Vs battles.

Kinda. Ice Types Pokemon are still weak to Fire Manipulation if they have such weakness.

It sucks defensively but it's one of the best offensive types. Plus freezing is most busted status condition.

Freezing is way worse. Sleep is 3 turns or less. Having a frozen pokemon is like losing a party member unless it has scald or something.
