Best Locations to Catch Regice in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon
Regice is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a tank. Base 200 Sp. Def is where it shines.

Regice has appeared in 15 games since Ruby & Sapphire, spanning 8 generations. As a Legendary, it's typically a one-per-save encounter tied to the story or post-game content.
