Legendary, Mythical, Mega & Gigantamax Ice Pokémon

Across Gen 1 to Gen 9, Baxcalibur is the only pseudo-legendary with Ice, no mythical Pokémon has the type, and none of the Ice Megas changes type. Regional forms move Ice around more: Alolan Sandshrew and Alolan Vulpix take Ice in place of Ground and Fire, while Hisuian Sneasel drops it for Fighting/Poison.
