All Pokemon Go Regice stats and moves
Regice is an Ice-type Pokemon that first appeared in Ruby and Sapphire. It is one of the original three Legendary Golems and offers incredible sustainability and Defense while still having a respectable Attack stat.
Though Regice is incredibly tanky and has a great moveset, its typing does let it down somewhat. With it being an Ice-type it is weak to Fighting, Fire, Rock, and Steel and only resists other Ice-type attacks. In PvE, this can be planned around but its lack of type resistances makes Regice relatively easy to counter in PvP.
Regice has the following stats in Pokemon Go:
- Attack – 179
- Defense – 309
- Stamina – 190
Regice can learn the following moves in Pokemon Go:
Fast Moves
- Frost Breath (Ice)
- Lock-On (Normal)
- Rock Smash (Fighting)
Charged Moves
- Blizzard (Ice)
- Earthquake (Ground)
- Focus Blast (Fighting)
- Thunder (Electric)
Pokemon Go Regice best moveset for PvP
In competitive battles, there is no doubt that Lock-On + Blizzard is Regice’s best moveset. While Lock-On itself offers practically zero damage it is one of the best attacks for charging up more powerful moves and dealing more damage overall.
To best take advantage of that rapid charge it’s highly recommended to use Blizzard which is not only a powerful attack by itself but is also Regice’s only Charged Move that benefits from STAB, providing an additional 20% damage. Additionally, both Earthquake and Thunder are good secondary moves that provide useful coverage when required.

For PvE content, Regice’s best moveset is Frost Breath + Blizzard as both attacks benefit from STAB and deal super effective damage to targets weak to Ice If the opponent is not weak to Ice then Lock-On is preferred as it rapidly charges up Blizzard.
While regular Regice is outclassed by even regular Pokemon like Beartic and Crygonal, Shadow Regice is a strong Ice-type attacker that can hold its own even against powerhouses like Mamoswine and Shadow Articuno. It isn’t quite top-tier but is competitive enough to justify using it even in Pokemon Go’s hardest content.
