With 55 ice-type Pokémon to choose from, it can often be impossible to pick a favorite. So why not let the year you were born dictate your perfect companion.
You’ve chosen your preferred type, now comes the bigger and much harder decision, what Pokémon to put in your roster. There is such a wide variety of choices that many often leave it down to the first one they find or the cutest. However, using one more suited to you can give you a huge edge in battle. Using your Chinese zodiac can help you find a new favorite Pokémon.
Your Chinese zodiac can tell more about you than just the year you were born. It explores your personalities, your traits, your goals, and how you achieve those goals. It can also show you what character you would be in your favorite TV show, or what ice-type Pokémon would make a perfect companion.
12 Year Of The Rat: Glaceon
Those born in the year of the rat share this with Pokémon itself, being brought to your Gameboys in 1996. Therefore this Pokémon had to be a homage to the classics, hence why it’s an Eevee evolution.
However, it isn’t just the classic pre-evolution that makes this choice perfect. Both have the same morals and personalities. With those born in the year of the rat sharing their kind, hardworking, and excitable persona with Glaceon.
11 Year Of The Ox: Piloswine

This dark/ice-type can be extremely vicious when needs be and can really pack a punch in battle, making it an ideal companion.
