Is Regice Good in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Playthrough?

Static encounter through the Regi puzzle. 200 Special Defense makes Regice nearly impervious to special attacks. Ice typing handles Drake on rematches. The trio is more about collection than story impact, but Regice's defensive stats are undeniable.

Regice Weakness

Type-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.

Regice Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Guide

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Regice is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a tank. Focus Blast with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • Regice is a static encounter at Route 105 in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Regice appears at level 40. Prerequisite: LIMITED; Requires opening door from Sealed Chamber. Save before the encounter. These one-shot Pokemon don't respawn if you knock them out or run out of Poke Balls.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, 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.

  • Clear Body is the go-to ability for Regice. It prevents stats from being lowered by other Pokémon. Its hidden ability Ice Body can work in specific setups.

  • In Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, Regice fills the tank role. It's a special attacker with base 100 Sp. Atk. Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's tanky enough to absorb a few hits.

Game Availability

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.
