How to beat Regice in Pokémon Go 5-Star raids

Check out all the best counters to the ice golem

Things are getting frosty in Pokémon Go with Regice taking over the mobile game’s 5-Star raids. Part of the legendary golem family, Regice is an old acquaintance for many veteran players of the game. Any newcomers should definitely consider raiding for the Ice-type, though, as it comes in very handy in PvP formats like Ultra League.

Regice is also available as a Shiny during its stint from January 18 to 25, 2023. If you’re still looking to complete your collection of the rare Pokémon forms, this is your shot at striking this name from the list. We have all the best Regice counters in Pokémon Go here to make the job easy for you.

Regice commands 42,768 competition points (CP) as a 5-Star raid boss and is a tough nut to crack despite its vulnerable typing due to its impressive defense stat. You’ll need a group of around three trainers to bring this golem to its knees inside the time limit with level 40 Pokémon.

Be especially careful against a Regice with Earthquake at its disposal, since this Ground-type attack can cause devastating damage to many of your counters.
