Like other games in the franchise, Legendaries are some of the most sought-after Pokemon in Pokemon Go, often being some of the most powerful creatures currently in the game. Besides a few exceptions, the only way to acquire Legendary Pokemon is through the successful completion of Five-Star Raids, challenging PvE battles that can be attempted by you and other players.
One Legendary Pokemon that can be obtained through this method is Regice, the Ice-type Legendary Titan from the third Pokemon generation. Defeating and capturing this Pokemon will prove to be challenging, so we have put together a complete guide for this specific Raid, providing you with the best strategies available.
Recommended Group Size
With tons of health and extremely powerful attacks, Regice is lethal on the battlefield, proving to be a challenging opponent when it comes to Raid Pokemon. For this reason, do not attempt to complete this Five-Star Raid on your own, as the help of other Trainers is essential for your success here.
For this specific Raid battle, it is recommended that you attempt it with a group of at least four to six Trainers. Even with this larger group size, it is important that all members of your Raid group are using strong Regice counters, as this Raid battle will be no "walk in the park."
Due to the difficulty of this Raid battle, make sure that you are taking advantage of the Mega Evolution feature if possible.
Mega Evolving one of the Pokemon that you are battling with will increase its overall CP, and, more importantly, boost the damage of attacks that match the type of the Pokemon that was Mega Evolved.
This bonus extends to every player in your Raid group, so it proves to be extremely helpful in difficult battles like this one.
Regice: Strengths And Weaknesses
Fortunately for you and your allies, Regice has more weaknesses than strengths on the battlefield, giving you an edge when selecting the right Pokemon to battle with. When it comes to strengths, Regice is only resistant to one type of attack: Ice. For this reason, this is the only type of Pokemon that you will want to avoid using for this Raid.
On the other hand, Regice is vulnerable to four different attack types: Fighting, Fire, Steel, and Rock-type attacks. These different weaknesses give you and your allies a degree of flexibility when it comes to assembling your Pokemon Raid team.
To make this Raid battle easier for you and your allies, it's important to keep Same Type Attack Bonus, or STAB, in mind when choosing which Pokemon to battle with.
This mechanic boosts the damage of your attacks if the attack's type matches the type of the Pokemon using it.
Regice: Best Counter Picks
There are several top-tier Regice counter picks currently available in Pokemon Go due to its four different weaknesses, Fighting, Fire, Steel, and Rock-type attacks. Assemble a team consisting of powerful Pokemon with attacks of these four types to maximize your overall damage and chances of success in this Five-Star Raid.
To help you with your team composition, we have put together the best options for each of these four types, accompanied by the moves that are recommended for this specific Raid battle.
If you don't have access to a team made up of these top-tier Regice counters, fear not, as these are not the only viable options for this Raid battle.
You and your allies can still easily defeat Regice and complete this Raid when using other Pokemon, as long as they are also strong Fighting, Fire, Steel, and Rock-types.
