Regice Guide

  • In Black 2 & White 2, Regice is a Legendary Pokemon rated B-Tier. At 580 BST, it hits hard. It excels as a tank. Ice Beam with Leftovers is the standard set.

  • In Black 2 & White 2, 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 Black 2 & White 2, 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.

  • For Black 2 & White 2, the core moveset is Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Hiddenpowerfire, and Thunder Wave. Ice Beam leads at 20% usage. This set covers the tank role with a mix of damage and utility.

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.
