Learn how to defeat the Ice-type Legendary Pokémon Regice in Pokémon Sword and Shield's Crown Tundra DLC. Get tips on its weaknesses, moves, and best strategies for catching it.

Alright, let's talk about Regice in the Iceberg Ruins! This guy is a serious tank, especially on the special defense side, but don't worry, we can totally handle it.

Stats / Weaknesses:

  • Regice — Level 70, Ice-type
  • Resists: Ice, Dragon
  • Weak to: Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel
  • Resistant to: Ice, Dragon
  • Vulnerable to: Fire, Fighting, Rock, Steel

Regice's Moves:

  • Ice Beam: Reliable damage.
  • Icy Wind: Lowers your Pokémon's Speed.
  • Zap Cannon: 50% accuracy, but causes paralysis. It only has 5 uses, so don't stress too much about the whole party getting stunned.
  • Amnesia: Boosts its already high Special Defense even further.

Strategy:

  • Physical Attacks First: Regice has really high Special Defense and Defense. Start by hitting it with strong physical attacks. Since it doesn't resist Normal-type moves like some of its buddies, you can safely use False Swipe to get its HP down to 1.
  • Status Conditions are Key: Once Regice is at very low HP, use moves like Thunder Wave to paralyze it or a sleep-inducing move to make it easier to catch.
  • Ball Strategy: Load up on Ultra Balls or any other high-tier Poké Balls you have. The lower its HP and the more status effects it has, the better your chances.
  • Type Matchups: Fire-type Pokémon are excellent here. They resist Regice's Ice-type attacks and deal super-effective damage. Electric-types are also a decent option if you want to avoid paralysis from Zap Cannon, but it's not a huge threat given its limited uses.
