Pokemon Go Regice best PvP moveset
In competitive battles, there is no doubt that Lock-On as a Fast Move and Blizzard as a Charged Move is Regice’s best moveset. While Lock-On itself offers practically zero damage it is one of the best attacks for charging up more powerful moves and dealing more damage overall.

To best take advantage of that rapid charge it’s highly recommended to use Blizzard which is not only a powerful attack by itself but is also Regice’s only Charged Move that benefits from STAB, providing an additional 20% damage. Additionally, both Earthquake and Thunder are good secondary moves that provide useful coverage when required.
Pokemon Go Regice best Raid moveset
For PvE content, Regice’s best moveset is Frost Breath as a Fast Move and Blizzard as a Charged Move as both attacks benefit from STAB and deal super effective damage to targets weak to Ice If the opponent is not weak to Ice then Lock-On is preferred as it rapidly charges up Blizzard.
While regular Regice is outclassed by even regular Pokemon like Beartic and Crygonal, Shadow Regice is a strong Ice-type attacker that can hold its own even against powerhouses like Mamoswine and Shadow Articuno. It isn’t quite top-tier but is competitive enough to justify using it even in Pokemon Go’s hardest content.
