Regice is a Gen 3 Legendary with a strong stat spread that holds up well. Ice typing gives it a clear competitive identity. Only weak to Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Known as the Iceberg Pokemon.
Regice's all-in on Sp. Def at the expense of Attack. The special lean is obvious from the bars. Yields 3 Sp. Def EVs and follows a slow 1.25M XP grind.
Research revealed that its body is made of the same kind of ice that is found at the South Pole.
Regice Weakness
FragileType-wise, Regice takes extra damage from Fire, Fighting, Rock, and Steel. Regice's special bulk (base 200 Sp.Def) helps absorb special-type weaknesses, though physical moves exploit the lower Defense.
- Dark and Steel types added — Fairy does not exist yet
- Moves are Physical or Special based on type, not per move
No breeding, no evolution. Regice is a Ice legendary with 580 base stat total that you obtain once and build around.
How to Evolve
Quiet nature gives Regice the slow special lean it needs to trade hits effectively. Leftovers adds passive recovery each turn, flexible EVs EVs split the difference, and Electric and Normal coverage punishes anything trying to wall it.
