Singles Movesets for Regice

Special Attacker Moveset & Best Build

This set aims to take advantage of Regice's offensive movepool and good defenses. While it is not the most powerful offensive Pokemon, what sets Regice apart is its sky-high Special Defense stat. Its useable Special Attack stat allows it to be a formidable Special Attacking tank.

About Regice's Moves

The combination of Ice Beam and Thunderbolt, along with Focus Blast can hit a variety of different types for super-effective damage. Substitute helps Regice tank multiple hits, increasing its survivability.

About Regice's EV Spread

Clear Body allows Regice to ignore status reductions. This is especially good against attacks like Eerie Impulse or Snarl.

How to Use Regice Effectively

Regice's poor Speed stat and weaknesses to common types make it an easy target. So positioning it so that it doesn't take much too much damage is critical for a lategame Regice sweep. This Pokemon also thrives in Trick Room where it will be the fastest thing on the field most of the time.

How to Build a Team with Regice

Regice enjoys teammates that can support it on the physical end. Dual Screens or Intimidate users are good teammates for Regice to have. Regice also does well in Trick Room teams because of its low Speed stat.

Trick Room/Dynamax Sweeper

Example Build Team

Support	Dynamax Attacker	Role
Incineroar	Regice	Gothitelle

Incineroar supports Regice with its Intimidate Ability, giving Regice more survivability on the physical side. This works well with Regice's Weakness Policy strategy, because Regice can more effectively tank hits.

Gothitelle can set up Trick Room for Regice, and can trigger its Weakness Policy with Brick Break.

Counters for Regice

Weakness

Counter Regice by Walling it or OHKO-ing it

Regice is easily walled by Special Walls. It is also easily knocked out by strong super-effective Physical attacks.
