      They have been buffed quite well actually. Snow (replacing Hail) increases defence of ice types by 50% and deals no chip (good for the other types you may be running), and Physical Ice types get Ice Spinner which is finally a more than 60 base power, 100 accurate, Physical Ice type move. (80 base power. + removes terrain)

    Here's an updated version of this video:
    Gen 8: the new pokémon were Hisuian Typhlosion, Hisuian Zoroark and the two forms of Basculegion. Off these Basculegion would go on to make the biggest impact. But Hisuian Zoroark is note worthy because its type combo of ghost/normal is unique to this pokémon and it's pre evo hisuian Zorua.
    The new moves were Bitter malice which is the signature move of Hisuian Zorua and Zoroark with 60 BP and 100 acc with a 30% to freeze the target, and doubles its power if the target has a status condition. Now in gen 9 was buffed to 75 BP, its PPs were reduced from 15 to 10, and now reduces target's attack by 1 level. The other move was Infernal Parade which is Hisuian Typhlosion's with 60 BP and 100 acc with a 30% to burn that doubles its power if the target has a status condition.
    Gen 9: the new pokémon were Skeledirge, Ceruledge, Brambleghast, Houndstone, Annihilape Flutter mane, Gholdengo and Sinistcha. Off these, Houndstone, Flutter mane and Gholdengo would make by far the biggest impact.
    The new moves were Last respects with 50 BP and 100 acc that adds 50 to its BP depending how much pokémon were fainted in the team. The other one is Rage fist which is for Primeape and Annihilape with 50 BP and 100 acc that adds 50 to its BP if it was each time the user was hit during a battle by a move that causes direct damage. Maximizing to 350.
    The new specialist is Ryme, Tyme's sister and Montenevera's gym leader.
