Movesets

Regice (OMG ATTRACT IMMUNE POKEMONS) @ Leftovers
Trait: Compoundeyes
EVs: 252 HP / 204 SAtk / 52 Def
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Blizzard
- Thunder
- Toxic

Beast. Best. Special. Sweeper. Ever. Everyone has a Regice weak. It's your special wall, Blastoise counter, shits on basically every water and rapes with 91 acc STAB Blizzard and 91 acc Thunder and omg. I love Regice. It is my baby. Toxic for emo people who like walling things. This thing is insane holy shit I love it more than I should. 204 SAtk makes sure Thunder breaks Jirachi's 101 HP Subs. For some reason Jirachi thinks that just because it also has CM it can wall this thing. Bitch slap it.

Regice (androgenous) @ Leftovers
Trait: Synchronize
EVs: 252 HP / 216 Def / 40 SAtk
Calm Nature (+SDef, -Atk)
- Toxic
- Haze
- Ice Beam
- Rest

This thing is stupid, don't use it, it's the obligatory walling Regice that just walls. It doesn't dance, explode, calm mind or do anything particularly fancy, it just sits there and takes hits. When Regice gets neutered and loses Calm Mind, this will probably take over as standard but until then... no.

Other Options:
For set one, you could use Focus Punch and go Sassy with enough attack to 3HKO other Regice, maybe. Ice Beam is also an option if only for the reason that it has more PP than Blizzard but don't do that because that would be emo and silly because Blizzard is fucking sexy at 180 power. Don't do it. The only time it pays off is when the opponent is using a gimmicky pressure team.

For set two, you could throw Thunderbolt or Thunder Wave in there somewhere depending on what mood you're in. Toxic lets you take on Blastoise though, which is quite useful in a special wall.

Counters:
Metagross, Snorlax, Blissey.

Overall Opinion:
Please don't neuter it Khold. I know it's sick and wrong and shouldn't exist but it's my baby. I love it like it was my own kind. If you erase Calm Mind Regice I will go emo and be forced to find more broken shit to play with and be completely inconsolable for a few hours.

PLEASE KHOLD DON'T KILL IT I LOVE IT LIKE MY OWN BABY AND LIKE MY OWN BABY IF IT DEVELOPS DOWN SYNDROME AND BECOMES RETARDED I MAY HAVE TO GET MY HOMOCIDAL TENDENCIES BACK!!!!

If we keep Calm Mind, we'll have to nerf it a lot in another department.

If you think getting rid of Calm Mind must be done, do it. I'm just all emo right now because I thought CM Regice was a good pokemon/discovery/thing.

Besides. If you don't, I'll probably make a motion to do it after a while. Logically, I know it has to go.

Logically, we could just get rid of all its attacking moves, hahaha

I think Haze is good enough, tbh.

Locking this thread because Regice can't rape the world with Calm Mind any longer but I'm going to keep the thread here as a reminder that things whose base special stats collectively reach over 250 shouldn't get Calm Mind unless they already do so naturally.

And on that note... I just realized the only thing that truly countered Regice was Thick Fat Snorlax.
