Strong ice type for platinum?

I want an ice type so it’s easier to take out Cynthia’s garchomp. But most ice types either seem mediocre or hard to get. Honestly if I can even get a water type with ice type moves I’d be fine with that.

I think Weavile is the best ice Pokemon in Platinum because of its high physical attack and swords dance. Its dark type is also useful sometimes. Here’s a moveset.

Weavile @ dread plate/never melt ice/expert beltEVs: 100 Atk- ice punch- night slash- swords dance- dig

These are the best non-ice Pokemon with ice moves. I didn’t include Empoleon because it sucks against Garchomp, but it’s still pretty good in most other boss battles.

Gyarados @ splash plateEVs: 100 Atk- waterfall- dragon dance- ice fang- return/earthquake/stone edge

Floatzel @ splash plateAbility: swift swimEVs: 100 Atk- waterfall- rain dance- ice punch- crunch

Azelf @ odd incense/choice specs/expert beltEVs: 100 SpA- psychic- flamethrower/fire blast- shadow ball- ice punch

Weavile. Sneasel isn’t too hard to find and there are razor claws before the postgame. Here’s a video to help find razor claws.https://youtu.be/_Dq2M_C994k?si=1-NlksgJfuThP2Rm
