The original Regi trio are some of the most beloved Legendary Pokemon throughout the franchise, and their appearances in Pokemon GO are no exception. Here are the best counters for Regice in Pokemon GO that take advantage of the Ice-type golem’s weaknesses.
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.
Pokemon | Type | Vulnerable To | Strong Against | Resistant To |
---|---|---|---|---|
Regice | Ice | Fire Fighting Rock Steel | Grass Ground Flying Dragon | Ice |
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:
Pokemon | Moves |
---|---|
Mega Blaziken/ Blaziken (Shadow) | Counter Blast Burn |
Mega Charizard/ Charizard (Shadow) | Fire Spin Blast Burn |
Metagross (Shadow) | Bullet Punch Meteor Mash |
Moltres (Shadow) | Fire Spin Overheat |
Terrakion | Double Kick Sacred Sword |
Reshiram | Fire Fang Fusion Flare |
Machamp (Shadow) | Karate Chop Dynamic Punch |
Rhyperior (Shadow) | Smack Down Rock Wrecker |
Entei (Shadow) | Fire Fang Overheat |
Mega Tyranitar | Smack Down Stone Edge |
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.
