BDSP Regice Best Moveset
200 Sp. Def is the highest in the game, and hidden AbilityIce Body heals in hail. But 80 HP at 100 Defense and 50 Speed make the moveset a special absorber that folds to physical hits. 100 Sp. Atk behind Ice TermStab adds modest offense. E-tier because Ice typing creates four common weaknesses that overwhelm the one-sided bulk.

Regice Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl Guide
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Regice is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a tank. Chargebeam with Wide Lens is the standard set.
In Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl, Regice's biggest threats include Charizard (Fire), Hitmonlee (Fighting), and Tyranitar (Rock), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Steel-type attackers are also a problem. Regice has enough bulk to absorb a hit, but don't push the matchup. Pivot to a teammate that resists.
