In case you catch a Regice during your 5-Star Raids, congratulations! You now have to choose the best movesets for this Pokemon for different situations. Regice is considered a defensive Pokemon, but it can also be used as a solid attacker. This approach becomes more effective when you teach it ice attacks to take advantage of the same-type attack bonus it gains. Frost Breath is the best Fast Attack while Blizzard is the optimum Charged Attack choice for Regice. If you want to counter Rock and Steel-type Pokemons with Regice, you can try teaching it Rock Smash as Fast Attack and Earthquake/Focus Blast for Charged Attack.
