BoltBeam

Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpA
Nature: Bold
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder Wave
- Psych Up / Focus Punch

Regice does not have an instant recovery move, but it can be helped
with by a Pokemon with Wish. Regice has an execellent STABed Ice Beam which will punish Dragons and Gliscor, as well as having Thunderbolt to hit Bulky Water-type Pokemon. To help Regice with attacking Thunder Wave will cripple fast Pokemon such as Infernape.

Focus Punch is an option because it OHKOs Weavile. To pervent Pokemon
such as Raikou and Porygon-Z setting up on you Psych Up is nice for copying their stat boosts.





ToxicStall

Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Nature: Bold
- Toxic
- Ice Beam
- Protect
- Seismic Toss / Thunderbolt

Regice actually pulls this moveset off quite well. The idea behind this is Toxic will slowly damage many Pokemon so by doing so Protect is nice to scout moves and regain some of your lost health. Ice Beam is still here for a nice STAB move and will punish Dragon- type Pokemon and Gliscor.

Seismic Toss is probally what you want to use for some nice netural damage, but if Gyarados troubles you and you want to hit Skarmory harder there is always Thunderbolt.




Rock Polish

Regice @ Leftovers / Life Orb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 250 Spe / 8 HP
Nature: Modest
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power Fighting / Hidden Power Fire / Hidden Power Ground
- Thunderbolt
- Rock Polish

This is Regice's best chance at sweeping. With the EVs listed above you have max Special Attack and after a single Rock Polish your Speed will reach 396.The classic BoltBeam combo will take on a wide range of Pokemon. Hidden Power Fire is useful when fighting against Scizor, Forretress, and Metagross, while Hidden Power Fighting can serve useful against Weavile and Tyranitar. If you are really that worried about Magnezone and Heatran go with Hidden Power Ground also you can still hit Metagross.




SubPuncher

Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 204 HP / 54 SpA
Nature: Brave
- Focus Punch
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Substitute

If you are tired of Blissey, Tyranitar, and Weavile ruining your fun than this is the moveset for you. Focus Punch still OHKOs Weavile and will usually always OHKO Tyranitar, Blissey will now get 2HKOed. The only Pokemon that resists SubPunchingBoltBeaming is Shedinja.





Counter

Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 Atk
Nature: Impish
- Curse
- Explosion / Earthquake / Thunderpunch
- Avalanche
- Counter

This moveset can surprise any opponent. Ok you start off with a Curse and now as their physical attacker hits attacks you now use Counter for the OHKO against them.

Regice is very slow so Avalanche works to its advantage. Regice can use Explosion on this moveset, but after that Curse Counter you aren't really going to be able to pull it off. Earthquake works nice against Infernape and Heatran and if you want something against Gyarados use Thunderpunch and being immune to Intimidate is nice due to Clear Body.




Rest Talker

Regice @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 6 SpD
Nature: Bold
- Ice Beam
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
- Seismic Toss / Thunderbolt

This is the only form of recovery Regice has access to, and its also great for absorbing status. BoltBeam is always a classic, but Seismic Toss can be useful against Raikou so it does not use you as set up bait.




Other Options

The only option left Regice has is Icy Wind, but its useless when you can use Rock Polish or Thunder Wave.




Counters

The mighty sumo Hariyama is the best Regice counter around Thick Fat ruins Regice's Ice Beam, and if Regice wants to use status it will fear a Guts Cross Chop. Blissey can and will wear down Regice with Seismic Toss, but if Regice has Rest prepare for an epic stall war.

Heracross, Tyranitar, and Metagross will devastate Regice into the other world with their STABed attacks, just be careful for the rare Counter sets.

Dusknoir and Spiritomb take Ice Beams like nothing from Regice and can stall Regice out with Pain Split and Pressure.

charge beam over stoss/tbolt on the sleep talker, or does it lack survivability?

Why would you purposely waste a stat point? and no HP ev's is stupid if you want to take hits from both sides...
