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.
Its body is made of ice from the ice age. It controls frigid air of −328 degrees Fahrenheit.
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.
No breeding, no evolution. Regice is a Ice legendary with 580 base stat total that you obtain once and build around.
How to Evolve
Nothing fancy here. Regice builds around Leftovers for passive recovery each turn, Calm nature for the right stat lean, and flexible EVs EVs. Clearbody does its job quietly.
