Regice (Japanese: レジアイス Regice) is an Ice-type legendary Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It is, along with Regirock and Registeel, one of the three legendary golems of Hoenn.

Biology

Physiology

Regice is an Ice-type Pokémon whose body is composed of Antarctic ice that resembles a crystal. Its face has an unusual pattern consisting of seven yellow dots in a "+" formation. It has four "spikes" on its back. Its legs appear to be simply cones and it balances its entire body on those two points. In the anime, Regice moves around by floating in the air.

Gender differences

Regice is a genderless species.

Special abilities

Regice cloaks itself in air that is -328 degrees Fahrenheit (-200 degrees Celsius). It can survive if submerged in molten lava. Due to its extremely frigid body, anyone who approaches it can freeze. It is capable of surviving even extremely hot temperatures. Regice has the unexplainable ability to wield Electrical attacks like Zap Cannon.

Behavior

It is said to have slept in a glacier for thousands of years.

Habitat

Cave Pokémon

Regice resides in the Island Cave. Other locations where it has been found include the Iceberg Ruins, Buried Relic, Aegis Cave, and Underground Ruins.

Diet

Like its other relatives, what Regice exactly eats remains unknown.

Major appearances

Brandon's Regice

Ash's Pikachu battled and defeated Pyramid King Brandon's Regice in Pace - The Final Frontier!, thus making it only the second legendary Pokémon to lose a battle in the entire anime series, after Noland's Articuno, which had earlier lost to Ash's Charizard.

It appeared again in A Pyramiding Rage!, where Brandon used it in his battle with Paul. It battled Paul's Ursaring and easily took out his Lairon.

It was seen again in Pillars of Friendship! where it was used to battle the rampaging Regigigas at the Snowpoint Temple. Regigigas used Confuse Ray on Regirock, Regice and Registeel and all four Pokémon went on a rampage. All the rampaging Pokémon (except Regigigas) faded away, and when J used her weapon to catch the immobilized Regigigas and Regirock, Regice and Registeel and eventually Pyramid King Brandon all jumped in front of J's firing range and were frozen. Regigigas eventually brought them back to life with Hidden Power.

Regice (M08)

Regice made an appearance with Regirock and Registeel in the eighth Pokémon movie, Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, as one of the three guardians of The Tree of Beginning. It first tried to attack Ash, but was stopped by Lucario. In the end, it, together with Regirock and Registeel, turned away and went back to protect the Tree of Beginning.

Minor appearances

Regice made a brief cameo along with the other members of its trio in the beginning of The Rise of Darkrai.

Pokédex entries

Episode Pokémon Source Entry AG190 Regice May's Pokédex Regice, the Iceberg Pokémon. Formed in the Ice Age, its body stays at a temperature of -328 degrees and cannot be melted, even by fire.

In the manga

Regice in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

Regice debuted near the end of the Ruby & Sapphire arc, when Glacia was attempting to open the Island Cave. Together, Steven and Sapphire created a team of four Beldum and Sapphire's Relicanth and Wailord, thus opening up the chamber containing Regice. Regice, along with the other two golems, used Superpower to stop the effects of the clash between Groudon and Kyogre from spreading. After the battle, it and the other two Regis traveled to the mountains, where they were later caught by Brandon.

Brandon used Regice in his battle with Emerald. It beat Crystal's Cubone, which Emerald had borrowed to use in the Battle Pyramid, but was subsequently defeated by Emerald's Sceptile and its Iron Tail.

In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga

Regice, along with the other two legendary golems, are seen under the possession of Candice. She uses them against Hareta to test his worthiness to challenge Regigigas.

Trivia

• Regice has the highest Special Defense of all Ice types.
  • It is also tied with Regirock for the highest single stat of any legendary Pokémon with its 200-point Special Defense. Regirock's is its Defense stat.
• Regirock, Registeel, and Regice are the only Pokémon with Explosion as a starting move.
• In Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, there is an unobtainable Regice Doll programmed into the game. It may have been intended to be obtained with the e-Reader.
• In the English dub of the anime, Regice's name has been pronounced in two different ways, 'Red-gee-ice' and 'Redgice'.
• Out of the three legendary golems, Regice is the only one who doesn't learn Iron Defense at level 41.
• Regice can learn Frost Breath despite having no visible orifice from which to expel breath.

Origin

Regice is based on the golems of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened. The legendary golems' typing (and overall appearance, with Regice being polished ice, which is more modern than Regirock) could have been a reference to the three major ages in history, with Regice being Ice Age.

Name origin

Regice is a combination of regis (Latin for royal) and ice.
