Regice weaknesses in Pokemon Go
As a pure Ice-type Pokemon, Regice has a few obvious weaknesses you’ll want to exploit: Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Focus on bringing Pokemon of these types into battle for the best chance of success.

How to get Regice in Pokemon Go
The only way players can get a Regice is through Raid battles, as this Legendary creature does not spawn in the wild or hatch from Eggs.
Luckily for players, Regice will appear as a 5-Star Raid boss from Thursday, March 14, 2024, at 10:00 AM until Thursday, March 21, 2024, at 10:00 AM local time. As with any Legendary, you’ll need to defeat it before you can try to catch it.
Once you win the battle, you’ll be given a set amount of Premier Balls to throw. Its catch rate is very low, but you can increase your chances of securing it by making excellent throws, using curve balls, and using berries.
Can Regice be Shiny in Pokemon Go?
The good news is that Shiny Regice is currently available in Pokemon Go, but as with any Shiny variation, it won’t be easy to catch, and there aren’t any special methods to increase your chances.
The only way to encounter a Shiny Regice is to take part in as many 5-Star Raid Battles as you can, and hope for the best. You’ll only have an hour, so a lot of this will be down to luck!
