There’s a lot going on inPokemon GOthis week and players may mostly be focused onthe upcoming Solstice Event, but there’s one more featured Raid Hour to get through first. This Wednesday June 16 players will have between 6pm and 7pm to battle Regice at nearly every Gym in sight.
Regice isn’t new toPokemon GOand has made plenty of appearances over the last two years. That said, there are now Mega Pokemon, new generations, and new move sets to keep in mind when building a counter roster. A lot has changed in the mobile AR game since the Regi-trio first made an appearance and players who have their original counter roster still saved should take a few minutes to check out the most up-to-date recommended counters.

Regice is a pure Ice-type Pokemon, which means that it is technically weak to Fighting, Rock, Fire and Steel attacks. Most of the popular counter strategies focus on the Fire-weakness, so trainers will want to do asearch for Fire-types in their collectionand find the strongest options available. Some of the best counters and corresponding move sets can be found right here…
Entei - Fire Spin/Overheat
Heatran - Fire Spin/Flamethrower
Regice can take some serious damage, so it would be wise for players to head into this fight with at least five friends who are also packing a good lineup of appropriate counters. Endgame players may be able to defeat Regice with four or five players total if they have the right bonuses and perfect counters, but it’s much easier to bring a few extra trainers along and play it safe.
As always, players don’t need to have the exact counters and move sets listed above in order to successfully defeat and encounter the Legendary Pokemon. Focus on using the strongest Fire-types available and don’t be afraid toburn through some TMs, Stardust, and Candy in order to prepare a respectable roster. Most of the relevant counters for this fight are frequently useful for other Battle Raids, so it likely won’t be a one-time investment.
In the coming weeks, we should learn more about what other events will be arriving during the rest of theSeason of Discovery. Be sure to check back in the near future for morePokemon GOstrategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
