Regice Weaknesses & Type Effectiveness

As you may have guessed, given its on-the-nose name, Regice is a pure Ice-type legendary Pokemon. Ice-type Pokemon are weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel-type moves. We recommend bringing Fire or Steel-type Pokemon as Regice’s attacks won’t deal as much damage.

Regice can be a bit of a pushover, mainly because of its mono Ice-typing. However, it does have a varied moveset, which includes Ice, Fighting, Ground, and Normal-type moves. The worst combination is the Ice/Ground move combo, which slaughters the Fire and Steel-type Pokemon we recommend.

Luckily, there is only a 1/3 chance of Regice knowing a Ground-type move when you enter a raid battle, so hopefully, you won’t have to deal with Earthquake.

Best Counters for Regice Raids in Pokemon GO

Players need to focus on dealing as much damage to Regice as fast as they can, so we’ve created a list of the top 10 Pokemon you should bring when battling this Ice-type Legendary:

Again, Regice can be tricky depending on its moveset, so we recommend 3-4 players minimum when taking on these raids. To avoid being a weak link, make sure your Pokemon are above 3,500 CP and have both quick and charged moves that are super effective against Ice-type Pokemon.
