I see a lot of people overating ice and i don't think Chien Pao or Baxcalibur need a tiering action right now because of ice, here is why type by type:
Bug
Baxcalibur do not have flash fire so he take around 40% from a fire move that's very annoying.
Scizor can stop veil and revenge kill baxca with bp.
Chien Pao with sd sucker punch is stronger here because he kill scizor at +2.
But with slither wing, lokix or forretress bug have a lot of option.
Dark
In early meta i think ice have a lot of win vs dark but i think dark can counter team if you really want.
tyranitar looks really good stop hail/aurora veil and can play rock blast heavy slam twave.
good scarfer against Baxca/Chien there is some option darkrai, urshifu, meowscarada, samurott, hydreigon ...
Hazard+Sableye don't think avalugg or sandslash alola are able to rapid spin and ice is far from playing mono boots rn.
Dragon
Hoodra can prob do something but ngl this mu is prob lose.
Electric
Who is playing elec rn ?
and Baxca prob win this
Fairy
think Azumarill/clefable can stop baxca or chien.
sandslash a looks really good in this mu without this guy hatte prob win this
some scarfer like iron valiant or enamorus looks really good
Fighting
don't think i need to talk here
even some weird ninetales/froslass set can't win this
Fire
this mu is better for ice than the fight mu
baxca can win this depending on the opp team but against a good fire that's probably a lose
Flying
i don't see much flying since the dlc drop but i believe fly can win like last gen
a good scarfer against Ninetales-A + set up corvi looks like a way
Baxca+Chien that's too much for corvi
Sandslash Alola is slower than scarf enamorus under hail and that's sad
Ghost
Ghost have a lot of offensive option vs ice
annihilape ban is a bad news for this mu especially versus Chien Pao
Grass
tbh i'm not gonna talk for this mu because idk
priority against strong ice move probably a win for ice
Ground
i definitly think ground can win this with
good wall with quagsire av mamoswine
good scarfer against ice with great tusk or iron threads
Normal
not gonna talk here because idk but ditto help versus baxcalibur and Chien Pao
Poison
Baxcalibur can win this mu like in the home meta
just curious if iron def toxapex bulk up okidogi or curse muk alola are able to win the ice mu.
Psychic
difficult to see the best psychic 6 atm with a lot of ghost and dark around
Gardevoir/hatterene looks strong here
jirachi and psy terrain as usual
but sd crunch Pao under Veil looks so good here
Rock
looks good for rock but not sure anyone play rock outside of ladder
Steel
curious to see if Chien Pao can win this mu with veil up or if like last gen this mu will be an easy win for steel
Water
no Kyurem here and water have fighting move to put some pressure
with quagsire around or rain up with barra
i think water have a lot of option to play around this mu.
At my eyes Chien Pao is by far better than Baxcalibur he can take some crazy ko with sword dance but he need a lot of move and you can play only four move. With Ninetales around Ice have some crazy physical bulk but no one come on special move piloswine is too passive without toxic and frosmoth is just a bad pokemon in some mu.
Ice is better than before of course but some weakness still open with a very limited number of viable pokemon.
Maybe that's risky to say that right now but i can see ice being a good type but i don't think ice will be a top tier in this meta
